Indian Commode Vs Western Commode

One reason I love India ( amongst many other reasons ) is that we can wash ourselves clean after the job...Though I have enjoyed all my trips abroad the pain point during all my travels has been the tissue... However travelling to Japan was fun... They have water jets attached to the seat of the commode.. You can even adjust the temperature of the water...
We Indians are terrific when it comes to customizing.. Though most houses have now started using the western commode we ensure that we have a water faucet installed..
Anyways, my intention of writing this post is to compare the two commodes with respect to bringing up babies..
The Western Commode is amazing for cleaning soiled nappies... I just hold the soiled nappy on the pot and flush down all the waste using the water jet...
I just cannot think of any other way to clear the poo off the nappy... I don't think using a mug of water would be half as effective in pushing it down... But I guess the Indian Commode would be a wonderful choice when it comes to potty training the child..
Babies can squat just on one side and it would be easy on the mother to wash the child..No need to buy a potty for the baby or a toilet seat either..
In my house all our bathrooms have the western commode.. Not a good idea...I should have gone for atleast one Indian Commode...
I was cleaning PC's bottom with a wet cotton ball till he was about 4 months.. After that I have started washing him off... And it feels really clean... No diaper wipe would be so effective in getting this clean feeling...
