How old does a baby need to be to be potty trained?

Patient's question:

What kinds of diseases can pediatric surgery treat, and which symptoms belong to pediatric internal medicine? How old does a baby need to be to be able to hold urine?

Doctor's answer:

The earlier the better. In fact, it makes no sense to try potty training before 7 or 8 months, because at that age, children urinate unconsciously. As for some people who say their child knew how to urinate at 3 or 4 months and would urinate every time they held them, it's only because they managed to time it perfectly—just when the child was about to urinate. You can start at home by propping up the weaker side with a pillow (filled with rice). If that doesn't work, you can have surgery at the hospital.
