Summary: Very inspiring, educational and eye-opening!
Comment: We enjoyed both disks very much and learned a lot from them. It was fascinating to actually SEE how babies are toilet trained in other cultures and eye-opening to learn how western families can do it too; of course there are some differences between how it's done in different parts of the world (sanitation and caregiver assistance for example), and the DVD explains the differences. The stereotypical misconceptions about infant potty training are cleared up nicely. Also, it was refreshing to hear opinions from doctors who have actually had experience with it and who are knowledgeable about it.
On a personal note, both our girls love watching the many children who are featured and have learned from the behaviors of some of the kids in the video. There are cute and humorous moments that make us all laugh too. We are using potty whispering with our second child (didn't know about it in time for our first), are amazed at the results so far (only a few accidents a week at 22 months) and recommend it to families who are open to the concept. It's important to know in advance that there isn't a strict regimen, it can be done part time, and it is very hygienic (you can use diapers or training pants at any time you want) and "green" (helpful to the environment). We also learned a lot from the companion book Infant Potty Training.

Summary: Ok but not great
Comment: My husband and I watched part of this but found it hard to listen to. The audio is not very high quality. Some of it is hard to understand. It seems very "home-made". For the price, I expected a professional quality video. I can't comment on the actual content yet as we haven't watched the whole thing yet.

Summary: Potty Whisper!
Comment: I recently stumbeled upon the underground world of "EC" or elimination communication and this DVD was able to explain much of that technique to my partner who doesn't like to read as much. For those that aren't too framiliar yet, Potty Whispering is based on the logical thought that you can totally notice when any infant (like my newborn) is ready or starting to go to the bathroom. Instead of deficating in the diaper as usual, the technique teaches how to eliminate over a toilet, potty, etc.
I think this method is great. I am a new mom from NJ, (5 day old as of July 4th 2007) and caught my daughter's first poop today. I am using disposable diapers like most people, and consider this a "part-time" trial for now - which they teach in the tapes and books.
The way I see "part-time" is, even if you "catch" one poop and save ONE diaper, that's one less to buy, and one less to send to a landfill. If you like this tape, you might also like to buy "Diaper Free Baby."

Summary: Seeing is Believing...
Comment: It's one thing to read about infant pottying in theory. It's another to see it in action. That's the value of this video. I showed it to a friend of mine, who was convinced that it was too much trouble, yet interested to know 'the basics.' Shortly after viewing the first three sections of this video, her 3 month old daughter began to fuss and I suggested she try to pee her. And guess what? The mom was truly impressed and surprised when her baby peed into a potty for the very first time! It was so simple. Watching this video will help any parent learn the basics, and probably inspire them to give it a try! The interviews with professionals provide interesting research and commentary, and the portraits of different families give an in depth look at particular circumstances and special cases. Not only is this video an excellent learning tool, it is beautifully put together, chock full of charming footage of babies and families, with fun, upbeat music as accompaniment. It's not just a how to, or why to, it's a testiment to the love and warmth that develops between parent and child when potty training is done in this gentle way. Thus, it is a valuable tool for all parents who have young children.
