Cleanup Tag on this page
I am wondering from looking at the contents of the article and its general layout, how on earth it could require cleanup. It may be a little short, but it contains most of the information required to make it a viable entry into the encyclopedia. If anyone has ideas on what could be done to improve this article, could you please post them here and let us see exactly what does need doing to bring it up to Style Guidelines.

Earliest age to start
My wife reports that her younger brother was poo-toilet-trained (in some sense) by the age of one month: each evening, at an appropriate time after eating, his mother would lift his legs, and he'd know to do a poo. Is this common? Is it recommendable? Pjrm
A:) No, it's not common. B:) No, it's not recommended, and C:) Many babies have a regular bowel. You feed them, time them until you get the hang of when they will poo, and catch it. It is not potty training in any sense of the word! Thor Malmjursson 00:20, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
No it's not common, but it is possible. It is far more likely for a baby to start having control over bowel movements after 2 months of age. As long as the method used does not force a bowel movement (by use of suppositories or enemas) or use punishment, then there's no harm in attempting toilet training from birth. It is training, because not only does the parent learn the baby's natural elimination times, but the baby can, even at 2 months, start controlling his bowel movements if the potty is offered predictably, either by a schedule or by reading the baby's cues. See the articles elimination communication and infant potty training for more information. In my case, I started offering the potty to my daughter at 3 months and she was bowel trained by 7 months. (Definitely trained, as she held her bowel for the potty.) Historically this is not unusual, and even today in developing countries it is still common. Earthnut (talk) 02:49, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
Cleanup Tag -- Wikipedia is not an instruction manual
Wikipedia is not an instruction manual, but in fact that is almost entirely the way this page is written. To quote from What Wikipedia is not:
I have added a cleanup tag to request work on this problem. Nova SS 03:51, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
