Currently, pediatricians recommend potty training from one and a half years. It is believed that only by this age the child can consciously control his natural urges. But it often happens like this: the baby is happy to go to the pot during the day, and at night his mother puts a diaper on him. So how do you get rid of the diaper for good?
It is necessary
- - 2-3 sheets (or disposable diapers);
- - 2-3 interchangeable panties;
- - oilcloth;
- - a pot.
Instructions
Step 1
Most likely, leaving the diaper will take more than one night. Therefore, immediately prepare 2-3 replaceable sheets and the same number of clean panties. "Misfires" in this matter are inevitable. To preserve the mattress, you can lay an oilcloth or special disposable diapers under the sheet. If you choose oilcloth, then choose thicker sheets. Otherwise, the baby may not like the chill from the oilcloth.
Step 2
Before going to bed, be sure to put your child on the potty. Even if he doesn't want to go to the toilet right now. This should become a rule: you go to bed - you need to go to the toilet. If the child is capricious, then for the company you can put both a bunny and a doll on the pot.
Step 3
Sensitively sleeping children immediately sense that an "accident" has occurred. They quickly make the appropriate relationships and begin to wake up on their own. But there are not many of them. If the baby has been running around during the day and is fast asleep, then he, most likely, will not hear the signal from the brain. In this case, a couple of nights are enough for a mother to see how many times and at what time the child goes to the toilet. And mom at this time can get up herself and plant the child on the potty. Gradually, the child will get used to this regime.
Step 4
Often the cause of nighttime "accidents" is a large amount of liquid drunk at night. Therefore, the mother should watch how much the child drinks. This does not mean that the mother should forbid the baby to drink in the evening. It often happens that a child drinks sweet juice or compote not because of thirst, but because they are delicious. Give your child regular water. If it is thirst, the baby will drink water. Otherwise, he will refuse.
