Is it worth potty training at 6 months?

Hi everyone,

FTM with a 6 month old son and I have been very interested in starting early potty training and starting lazy EC. I’m been reading a lot of posts on this subreddit and noticed that some babies go through regressions so I’m wondering is it really worth starting at 6 month old? Should I wait till he is much older?

I have started to put him on the potty and he enjoys sitting on there, he is mostly distracted, however. He mostly pees if I pour warm water on him - not sure if that is a habit I want to continue, I’m worried it may backfire in the future.

Right now, I cannot tell when he goes pee and poo, he doesn’t really express anything, especially his poos. They are silent! Is it worth doing EC if I don’t know the cues?

TIA for any advice / words of encouragement!

Hi everyone!

First time parents with a 5 month old travelling from Toronto to Liberia end of May. Anyone have tips on best places to travel with a baby? We will be there for about 2 weeks! Hoping to make it a relaxing and also adventurous trip - a nice balance of both if possible.

Thanks in advance!
