This review is from: The Potty Trainer: The Ultimate Guide to Potty Training Your Child (Paperback)
This book is okay, but seems like mostly common sense type stuff. Our daughter had a UTI about six months into potty training and our Ped jumped the gun a bit and sent us to a Ped Urologist. The Urology Nurse Practitioner informed us that this is quite common and to read this book, put a stool under her feet when she's going and use a potty ring. The stool and potty ring were the only things I learned while reading the book!
