Recently, many parents have been "forced" to care about the baby's toilet training, why is it forced? Because in the past month, friends in Shanghai are trapped by supplies, and even many mothers are anxious about diapers.
As a result, many mothers are asking in the background whether they can put "toilet training" on the agenda.
Although we will have some last resorts, how exactly do we give our baby a diaper? When is it better to quit?
The key is to consider both experience and science.
These signals tell you you can quit diapers
Recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) show that most children develop a sense of spontaneous bowel movements by 18 to 24 months of age. At this time, the child's digestive system and bladder are basically mature enough to control their bowel movements.
For most children, you can try to take off your diapers after the age of 2.
But age is only a rough range after all, each baby has its own individual differences, if your child has the following manifestations, then you can try to get him to start toilet training:
“
Can understand the instructions of parents;
Diapers can stay dry for more than two hours;
The time of pulling the rice began to become regular;
Desire to keep farts dry, wet diapers will express discomfort;
Willing to imitate the way adults go to the toilet;
Ability to sit on a small toilet by yourself;
Be able to lift and take off your pants by yourself.
Of course, there is no only standard answer for raising children after all, and these standards are only used as a reference, not necessarily fully met. When he has most of the above signal performance, the mother can take the baby to try it.
How do I train?
1
Children's toilets are important
Whether it is a male or female treasure, you can use the children's toilet to start training. There is no need to choose a cute riding straddle toilet, some babies will be more difficult to sit on their legs, but it is easy to distract him from defecation.
Choose the toilet used by the baby, parents should consider the child's feelings, go shopping with the child, and let the child choose his favorite "small toilet".

Choose a good time to start
Spring and summer are the best time for toilet training, and the temperature is the most suitable. Start training when your baby is emotionally stable.
This process is not necessarily smooth, then do not rush, do not put pressure on the child, excessive pressure often leads to the child to feel afraid of defecation, but lead to stool, constipation and psychological problems.
There is a difference between male and female treasure training
There is still a difference between male and female treasure training. Training doesn't simply start with diapers!

Baby girl
Crouch down and pull in the urine.
Parents can tell the baby to squat down about half an hour after drinking milk, drinking water, feeding porridge or about half an hour after drinking milk, drinking water, feeding porridge or when there is a defecation performance, and the mother also crouches down and says: "Baby, we have drunk water and milk, we want to pee and defecate!" Let's pull together in the diaper, pull a good mom has a reward! "Encourage the female treasure to urinate and defecate independently in the diaper, the mother should patiently accompany the baby to crouch to let the baby pull clean at once, touch the baby's diaper hot, smell the stink of the explanation baby has been induced to urinate and defecate.
When the child can say through words and actions to pee and defecate, you can try not to cover the diaper, at the beginning parents should help the baby wear strippers, wipe the small fart with toilet paper, and gradually encourage and teach the child to wear strippers and wipe the fart, wash their hands with running water after the toilet.

Baby boys
There is a difference between the anatomy and physiology of male treasure and female treasure, defecation can be trained with the female treasure method, urinary training can use a urine cup to help the baby pick up urine, tell the male treasure: "We want to pee, urine in the urine cup, urine brie dry and comfortable!" "Praise and rewards keep up, children gradually express themselves with words and body language before urinating, and train babies to urinate on the urinals and urinals.
How to do night toilet training?
Baby can already use diapers during the day, and it is time to start night toilet training. Parents need to pay attention to the following points:
1, do not let the baby drink more water before going to bed: let the baby drink milk or drink water 1-1.5 hours before going to bed, brush your teeth before going to bed to clean the mouth, go to bed after urination, at the beginning you can wrap the diaper to sleep, slowly observe whether the baby urinates at night to decide not to wrap the diaper at night.
2, do not let the baby be too excited before going to bed: before going to bed, the baby is too excited and easy to wake up at night, so it is easy to wake up to drink milk and drink water, increasing the probability and frequency of urination. Half an hour before you get ready to go to bed, pay attention to the lights dimmed, put on some light music to help sleep, and tell your child a little bedtime story.
3, encourage children to have urine at night to get up and urinate: babies with night milk habits gradually quit night milk, sleep baby turn over frequently When parents can ask the baby to pee? Let the baby be relatively awake and continue to sleep after urinating on the toilet next to the bed, do not let the baby urinate in the urine bristle or the male treasure is asleep and urinate with the urinal pot, which will increase the chances of the child wetting the bed in the future.
This is the most recommended child-oriented training method in Western countries, but it does not mean that it is the only one. We should also encourage us to choose the method that we feel is the best, no matter which method is used, the principle is to try to avoid the influence of external pressure on the child, so as to avoid his resistance to "going to the toilet".
