When raising a baby, it is very important to instill in him the necessary hygiene skills in time and, above all, to potty train him. Of course, we must try to make this process as natural and comfortable as possible for both the baby and the mother.
Step 1
First of all, parents are concerned about the question of when and how to potty train a child. As for age, the opinions of experts differ. Some believe that attempts should be made from the first months of his life, and by the age of one, the baby should master this skill. However, most pediatricians believe that the best age to naturally potty is between 18 and 24 months. It is at this age that the child is already ready for learning, and it goes quickly and naturally. The kid feels discomfort from wet pants and can take them off himself, he shows interest in everything new and wants to imitate older brothers or sisters. He is able to understand when they explain to him how to use this hygiene item correctly.
Step 2
To potty train your child, observe him and you will see at what time and with what regularity he goes to the toilet. Try potting it every 40 minutes, and after sleeping and eating, before and after a walk. Do it carefully, be patient and kind, do not do it forcibly, otherwise the baby will resist, and you will have to spend many months to potty train the child.
Step 3
Choose a beautiful, bright pot for your baby that will arouse his interest, you can use a musical one. Praise and reward him every time he successfully uses the toilet article. You can read books or give toys while using the pot, but don't overuse it. Sitting on it for a long time, more than 7-10 minutes, is harmful.
Step 4
Give up diapers completely (as a last resort, only for the night and for a walk in the cold season). The child will not want to endure discomfort and will start asking for a potty. Remember that it should not be cold, too large or small, the child should be comfortable on it. It is best to teach your baby in the summer, then you can continue the learning process on a walk.
Step 5
The main thing is to be patient and affectionate, do not scold the child for the next wet pants, then your beloved baby will quickly master this necessary skill.
