There are always many differences between older and younger parents about when to give their children diapers.
The older generation thinks: diapers or quit early, the baby's little butt is always covered, a little attention will cause prickly, urine rash or "red butt", how much the baby suffers!
And young parents feel: it is best for the baby to quit diapers naturally, without deliberately training the baby to go to the toilet.
In fact, when to quit diapers for the baby depends on the baby's own will. Because the use of diapers is only to help the young baby transition, the skill of going to the toilet will eventually be learned. In the process of learning, you can simultaneously carry out the "big project" of diaper abstinence. If there are the following 3 signs, it means that you can try to quit diapers for your baby:
1. The baby can express his thoughts in simple words and can answer with parents. For example, the baby can distinguish between urine and urine, or when the parent asks the baby if he wants to go to the toilet, the baby can respond clearly. This is a sign that the baby understands what "going to the toilet" is all about.
2. The baby has regular bowel movements, such as urinating every two hours, or the baby does not urinate after sleeping during the day, etc. This indicates that the baby's bowel movements are gradually orderly, and parents can use these rules to remind the baby whether to go to the toilet.
3. Babies have obvious curiosity about toilets or toilets, such as when playing with toys at home, they will take the toys to "go to the toilet".
It shows that the baby is already curious about "going to the toilet", and parents can expand the "toilet" mini game on this basis to teach the baby how to use the potty and practice the action of going to the toilet.
For example, teach the baby to sit independently on the potty, have the consciousness of taking off pants and lifting pants, be able to stand up from the potty independently, and so on.
How to determine the best time to quit diapers?
Parents should rationally look at the matter of babies quitting diapers, do not compare "other people's children" with their own children, and accept the rhythm of children's growth with an inclusive heart.
If the child is not psychologically prepared and physically prepared, parents should train the baby to quit diapers, which will make the baby have psychological pressure and be resistant to going to the toilet, resulting in confusion in the baby's bowel frequency and easier to pee pants.
So under what circumstances should you not quit diapers?
1. The baby has changed the caregiver in the near future, or has just moved, the baby is in a strange state of the surrounding environment, there is a sense of insecurity, parents should first help the baby adapt to the environment, quitting diapers can be slow, so as not to increase the baby's discomfort.
2. When parents let the baby use the potty, if the baby has strong resistance behavior, such as sitting on the potty and starting to cry, this indicates that the parents and the baby's preparations are not done, then you can not be anxious, slow down the steps, and help the baby do a good job of psychological construction from scratch.
3. When the weather in some places is hot and cold, it is not a good time to quit diaper wetness, and it will make the baby cold because of changing clothes back and forth.
What should I pay attention to when quitting diapers?
Regarding quitting diapers, parents should have an idea: "I can definitely quit, it's just a matter of time!" "If you think about it like this, is your heart less anxious?
If parents show impatient and reprimanding behavior, repeatedly remind and urge their children, the child will be full of anxiety about "going to the toilet".
First of all, you can let the baby understand the knowledge of going to the toilet through picture books and cartoons. Tell the baby: we have to say goodbye to diapers slowly, and when playing during the day, don't wear diapers first.
Secondly, parents judge the frequency of bowel movements according to the baby's water intake, have a kind and easy-going attitude, remind the baby to go to the toilet, and remember not to ask repeatedly. When the baby is in a good mood, take the baby to play with the potty, such as sitting on the potty, but pay attention to the time spent sitting on the potty each time, not too long.
Third, parents should carefully observe the baby's reaction before defecation, whether there is crying and resisting, whether he likes to use the potty, etc., and comprehensively judge whether he quits diapers or not.
Finally, parents can take their children to play the game of "going to the toilet", such as letting the child visit how adults go to the toilet, and let the baby choose a "special language" for going to the toilet, such as the baby shouting "monster", when the child uses the "code" and successfully completes the toilet action, it is necessary to give praise in time.
In short, when you can quit diapers, you have to listen to the baby's arrangement. Of course, if the baby is more than six years old, he still reacts vaguely to the toilet, and does not regularly pee his pants and bed, and take the baby to the hospital for examination in time.
