How to use the Baby Throne
The Baby Throne has 3 parts; the seat, the base and the lid. It can be assembled in three different ways to suit the three different stages; Beginner (seat), Intermediate (potty) and the Advanced (on toilet with a step-up). The step-up can also be used by adults to put their feet on whilst on the toilet (as a squat-step); sharing is caring!
The Baby Throne itself holds baby in that optimal squat position that triggers the instinct to push and empty the bowels. Baby simply does what naturally happens. Easy!
The Baby Throne Technique focuses initially on emptying the bowels (number 2s) and then later voiding the bladder (number 1s). Focusing on number 1s is done when baby's bladder is bigger and contains the urine for longer, which is at about 14 months; or if they are already toddlers after you have mastered the number 2s. The last diaper to go tends to be the night-time diaper and everyone is different with that one.
The Baby Throne Technique is the use of physiology, reward and routine.
The manual and video that comes with the Baby Throne describes the Baby Throne Technique in detail. The secret is routine. No more than twice a day and for never more than 10 minutes. Perhaps use the Throne after a nap if you choose.
Once familiar, they are generally done in 90 seconds! Don't forget to celebrate. In our house the celebration was clapping or flushing, which was very exciting.

Baby Throne
Extract from Hector Durbach’s manual:
The Beginner Baby Throne: Your first stage or when you are still very small and can hold your head up comfortably. I was 4 months old. Wearing my nappy, my bottom was close to the floor of the base, with no hole to worry about.
The Intermediate Baby Throne: The base is turned up the other way and the floor of the base is farther away from your bottom. With no diaper on you can feel the air on your bottom and can get used to it. I was 7 months old when I tried this and as I was quite happy after a few minutes, I moved onto the Advanced Baby Throne.
The Advanced Baby Throne: Used without the base. The seat is simply placed on top of the toilet (it fits square toilets as well!). Toddlers can also use these gentle and progressive stages to get onto the Advanced stage quickly without getting a fright.
