Potty Trained at Six Months Old

Fantasy or Fallacy?

It's every mom's fantasy. No, I don't mean Ryan Gosling whipping open his shirt to reveal those 'Photoshopped' abs. I mean, the last diaper fantasy.

If every mom secretly fantasizes about ditching the Huggies, then Little Izabella Oniciuc's mom is one happy lady these days, as her babe is way ahead of her peers who are trained anywhere between 18 and 32 months old. 

Oh, and Izabella's only six months old.

According to 26-year-old mom Raluca, Izabella makes a “boo boo” sound when she needs a no. 2.

“When Izabella was born she made a clicking sound for milk," said the British mom. "After a couple of days the sound developed into ‘Eh, eh’, meaning she was hungry. “Now she says ‘Ah’ for mum and ‘Ger’ for dad.”

Dad Finn, 45, credits his daughter's "remarkable development" to listening to Mozart in the womb. Hm. Wasn't all that Einstein stuff debunked as tripe?

But clinical psychologist Dr Claire Halsey swears that little Izabella has the key components of potty training -- timing and communication -- down pat.

If she can communicate when her bladder and bowels are full, not to mention make recognizable, meaningful sounds, then she must be 'trained.' But this doctor warns against early training, and for good reason.

Girl genius or happy coincidence?

Are you potty training your little one? Here are some of the most common potty training mistakes.
