I'm two years old soon. I’m already quite big and I can do a lot myself: I eat with a spoon, I play, I know a lot of words and even sit down on the potty! And now I have a completely different diaper, not like babies. It is almost the same as panties, so I can take it off and put it back on myself. Mom said that very soon I would not need it at all, because, like all big children, I would go to the potty. And now he's just in case, so that I always have dry clean panties..
Parents often argue about the age at which a child should sit on the potty.. Someone proudly declares that his child began to go to the pot even before the year, because the crumbs were planted from 6 months, and someone even at two and a half and three years old cannot part with diapers, because " What parents should do to make the transition from diapers to the potty efficient? We asked this question to a pediatrician with twenty years of experience Natalia Geiko.
“Pediatricians recommend starting to potty train children no earlier than 1. 5-2 years. Planting up to a year is not recommended. It doesn't always bring positive results.. Often too early accustoming leads to the fact that at first the kids go to the potty, and after a while they categorically refuse to do it.. This happens because a child under 1.5 years old is not yet ready either physically or psychologically to master this main hygiene skill..
How to understand that the baby is ready?
•Child is at least 18 months old.
• During daytime sleep and a few hours after it, the baby does not write.
• The child understands speech and your requests, responds to them.
• The baby is able to independently remove panties and put them back on.
• The child distinguishes parts of the body.
• The baby can easily sit for 5-10 minutes in one place.
Basic principle: to form the “urge-potty-empty” reflex. It is important to teach the child to feel the urge in time and understand that it is at this moment that you need to sit on the potty.. It is important that baby underwear is comfortable for the baby and the process of taking off and putting on panties and panties is easy.. During this kind of “transition period”, it is best to use special panties-diapers Helen Harper Soft\u0026Dry Pants. They are removed and put on like ordinary underwear, and children can handle them very easily.. In addition, if the child starts playing and forgets about the potty, diaper panties will absorb all the moisture, the baby's panties will always be dry and clean, which means that he will be more confident.
How to create the right conditions?
• Place the pot so that the baby sees it all the time.
•Prepare several pairs of spacious pants that the baby takes off and puts on easily.
• Put on a short blouse on the child, which does not need to be specially lifted and supported.
•Put your baby in special diaper panties.
• Pick up simple words that you will call the excretory processes (“pee-pee”, “ka-ka”, “ps-ps”, “ff” or any other that the baby associates with emptying processes).
To make it easier for the baby to consolidate a new skill, praise him for his success and in no case scold him if an incident occurs..
It turns out that going to the potty is very easy.. I even got used to it! And most importantly, I'm not afraid that my panties may suddenly become wet, because my mother still puts special panties on me, just in case..
