An important milestone in your child's development is potty training. An additional advantage is that you can finally get rid of those mountains of diapers and - not unimportantly - changing them. Unfortunately, your little one won't potty train on command, but you can guide him as best you can with the potty.
Babies up to 12 months urinate reflexively when they have a full bladder. Starting at 12 months, the bladder's sensitivity to reflex urination decreases. Your baby will be able to initiate or stop urination more consciously. Between 2 and 3 years, your child will have the first sensations of potty training. Your child discovers that a wet diaper or full pants does not feel pleasant and at the same time finds it annoying.
If your child is physically able to hold up urine and has sufficiently developed bladder control, this is already an important step. After this, your child will become interested in the toilet or potty. It will talk about "peeing" and gradually have dry diapers up to two hours after the previous pee. When you notice this, you can let your child go on the potty. You can possibly omit the diaper so that your child will have a better sense of when to pee.
From the age of 2 you can try to start potty training. Some children are potty trained by age 2, others not until age 5.
During the day, most children become potty-trained between the ages of two and five. And up to age 7, bedwetting is not abnormal. One in four children is not yet dry by age 2.5. One in 10 is not yet dry at age 3.5, because it is not mature for it at that time. And 15% of 5- to 7-year-olds still wet the bed at night. So there is no need to worry if your 6-year-old son still wets the bed or your 3-year-old daughter is not yet dry.
As a parent, it is important to take this pace into account and not force your child if he or she is not yet ready.
Your little one will not spontaneously sit on the potty, you will have to guide him in this process. This will be potty training although training may not be quite the right word. It is more about helping and encouraging your little one to potty train.
Help your child potty train by following these steps:
For many children, a potty feels safer than the toilet. In addition, your toddler can independently go on a potty sit down independently, whereas he or she still needs help with the toilet. For example, put the potty near the toy or in another familiar place so he or she can get used to it. Let your child sit on the potty occasionally, initially with clothes on. Try to make this as casual as possible, at least don't force him.
Toddlers imitate everything they see. Take advantage of that! Go to the bathroom yourself and put the potty next to it. Explain what you are doing and why you are doing it there.
Put your child on the potty at regular intervals without pants and diaper. Do this once a day in the beginning and build up slowly. Eventually you can put him on the potty about every 2 hours. Good times for this are right after waking up and after meals. Don't reluctantly keep your uk on the potty if he doesn't pee.
Your child may understand fairly quickly what to do, but it may also take a while. Reward him (but don't overdo it) with a compliment, a hug or a sticker when he does a pee in the potty. If it doesn't work, also stay positive and patient. If you don't do this, it can backfire. After all, peeing works better when your child is relaxed.
If your child has another full diaper, explain in a positive way that this is actually in the potty belong. That way he understands that poop and pee belong there.
If he has peed on the potty a few times, he knows what this means. Now ask him regularly if he needs to pee. This way he will learn to consciously deal with the feeling of a full bladder.
