As a new mom, it was great to have a book that introduced this concept in a really concise way. Extensive background information found in some other books is interesting, but not if you're trying to fit it in during naptime! Since I read this "basics" book, I also read "Diaper Free" by Ingrid Bauer. Despite that fact that I really enjoyed "Diaper Free," I was really glad that I got this Potty Basics book first since it was so concise and told me everything I needed to know to get started.

It really does work! We started when our daughter was 3 months old, and haven't had to change a poopy diaper since. Peeing is another matter, but we're catching about half of them every day. Definitely a technique worth trying--even if you only do it "part time" for the easy catches after naps and such.

Though I don't do everything exactly as Laurie Boucke teaches in her book, I have found this method of dealing with elimination to be a good experience with my first (and only) child who is currenlty 8 months old. We started IPT a few days after bringing her home from the hospital, and the book is what taught me and gave me the confidence to try it in the first place. My mom and husband were very supportive of trying out this method, so that was really the key to getting it started. This is a great book for anyone who is interested in learning more about IPT, and it isn't overwhelming because it gives you the basics in a straighforward way.

This is a great book, easy to understand, easy to follow, and very user-friendly! I highly recommend it. I use this method with my son, now 8mos old and we are doing well with it!

This is a great book and i would recommend it to anyone who is wanting to learn how to potty train there infant

This book is just OK; I still felt like I didn't know how to begin infant pottying/elimination communication after reading this book. It talks about the topic without giving really clearly laid out step-by-step instructions. After I read this, I went and bought Diaper-Free Baby, which was a much better book, and was an excellent how-to guide.
