KATHERINE Ryan has already potty trained her son Fred, who is just eight months old.
The 38-year-old boasted that she skipped the nappy stage almost completely, but admitted she was prepared for backlash over her method.
The comedian, who shares her son with Bobby Koostra, used the same technique with her daughter Violet, now twelve.
She explained: “I hate to even write this because I know I’ll get backlash but for those who know about my potty training ethos and success with baby Violet…
“Fred reliably wees on the potty at under 8 months and we can count the amount of 2022 soiled nappies on one hand.
“I didn’t know whether it would work with Fred. It does. Potty train babies before they learn to go in nappies!!! They can do it!”
Children are usually potty trained between 18 and 24 months, but it is entirely normal for it to happen later than that.
Katherine has previously opened up about her method, telling NME in 2015: “My daughter wore standard nappies as a newborn. But when she started on solid foods, I could see in her face when she needed to poop.
“I’d whip her onto the potty as quickly as possible, then celebrate after she’d been. In addition, she’d be rewarded with about an hour of nappyless nudity. Bliss.”
Speaking about her plan for Fred last year, she told The Guardian: “My daughter wore standard nappies as a newborn. But when she started on solid foods, I could see in her face when she needed to poop.
“I’d whip her onto the potty as quickly as possible, then celebrate after she’d been. In addition, she’d be rewarded with about an hour of nappyless nudity. Bliss.”
Katherine gave birth to Fred in June 2021, just two weeks after announcing she was pregnant.
