POTTY training for children is a stressful experience for every participant.

But a mother claimed to be able to perform toilet training from birth-just like she did to her son.

TikTok user MixedAndNerdy said it all depends on "eliminating communication."

The Australian mother shared a video explaining the method. She told the audience that she and her husband let their son use the potty at birth.

"You can't start potty training from birth...they are too young," the mother shot back at the beginning of a sentence in the video, "No, you are wrong."

"This is called'eliminating communication'. We have done it with our son from day one."

As the video continued, the photo showed that the little boy was a small baby. His mother held him on the potty. She continued: "He won't defecate at night after four weeks. 

"You can tell us that he grumbled in need of the potty at five weeks. He walked to the potty by himself at 13 months. He wore underwear and worked all day. 

"Starting to stay dry all night at 20 months of age."

Her video has been watched an astonishing 1.3 million times, and as expected, mothers have come to the comment section to question her methods.

"It's great, but it only took me two weeks to fully train my daughter without any accidents. Twenty months is such a long commitment," one person wrote.

"When children are really ready, they only need one or two weeks to perform toilet training, which is unnecessary trouble," others agreed.

MixedAndNerdy then returned to her TikTok page to respond to comments, many of which similarly implied that 20 months is a long time to complete toilet training.

"Our goal is not to train him to use the toilet within 20 months," she said. "Our goal is to give our son a chance to use the potty during these 20 months."

She went on to explain why she chose to try to eliminate communication, adding that "the first thing that really matters is money."

Disposable diapers are a bit bad when they break down, so this is another way to help the planet

"Disposable diapers are ridiculously expensive-a lot of money is invested every month," she said.

"For us, this is a promise that we may not always be able to keep.

"So that's one of the reasons we did this-we saved a lot of money on diapers. We could have used it, but it was not necessary because we were using a potty."

In addition, eliminating communication is also "very good for the environment."

"Disposable diapers are a bit bad when they disintegrate, so this is another way to help the planet," she said, then using cleanliness as another reason to try this method.

"This is also a culture," she continued. "Not all countries use disposable diapers like Western countries, especially the United States.

"I live and work in many different countries, which is not normal. It is normal to look at your children and let them urinate or defecate when they show you that they need it.

"In those countries, there is no special word like eliminating communication, because it is normal for them."

At the end of the video, she said: "This is our choice as parents. As parents, what you choose is your choice.

"Guess what, they are all right. As long as your children are loved and cared for, that's the most important thing."

The parenting expert explained why the wizard on the shelf is a bad idea for the children.
