Summary

The overall purpose is to assess whether assisted infant toilet training during the first year of life can prevent functional gastrointestinal and urinary tract disorders up to 4 year of age. Healthy Swedish children will be randomized to start assisted infant toilet training at 0-2 months of age or at 10-11 months of age.

The toilet training process will be described including mother-to-infant attachment and parental stress.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Assisted Infant Toilet Training

The parents learn to sensitively respond to the child's routines and signals of elimination needs.The child's ability to convey the need for bowel and bladder evacuation is enhanced through responsive interaction so that a kind of assisted dryness is developed. The infant is held "squatting" over a potty or basin, while older children sit on the potty.
