«I built a strong bond with my baby. He is now eight months old and uses the potty. He gives us signs that he wants to go and we take him. He loves bath time, and we love that he doesn’t soil his pants,» recounted Devan Johnson.
Today’s babies learn faster than in the past, and the ease with which they adapt to modern technology seems to be a case in point. However, there are mothers who seem to be rushing through the learning process.
Devan Johnson is a young mom who caused controversy on social media after she revealed the way she raises her little one. Everything may be normal when you want your baby to learn to do things soon, but it is too early for her 3-week-old son to learn to go to the bathroom alone.

As she recounted on her social media account TikTok, Johnson started toilet training her baby from that young age and, according to her, it has paid off handsomely.
«We started potty training at three weeks old. We saved a lot of diapers,» she commented in the publication.

«(Potty training) builds our core, it helps him develop head control and helps with diaper rash. It built a strong bond with my baby. He is now eight months old and uses the potty. He gives us signs he wants to go and we take him. He loves bath time, and we love that he doesn’t soil his pants,» she added.
However, many people thought it was too early for a baby to be potty trained because at that age they don’t even know how to crawl well. One user argued that «babies don’t have control over their bladder at this age.»

In fact, some even believed that the woman did it with the intention of not spending more money on diapers. Even though it sounds crazy, it seems to have worked for her. The post quickly went viral on this social network.
