When potting training your toddler who would be
just about standing up, and balancing around
the furniture, then remember for potty or
toilet training to be successful that patience
is the solution, as long as the infant has no
underlying health problem. Just because your
child is not as quick as the next child for
weeing or pooing in the potty doesn’t mean you
have to rush him or her off to the doctor.
Children are different, some being slower than
others at learning things like walking and
talking, and others being faster at standing on
their own two feet and picking up words. Well
this goes for potty training too.
The following
months that follow the birth of your baby,
he/she will have a lot to take in. Things
change so fast in a baby’s life like being
weaned of the breast and getting used to
drinking milk from a bottle, or just trying to
get baby to stop sucking a dummy/pacifier is a
mission alone
Give baby a wide
birth while they are learning other things
before rushing them with their potty training.
Take one thing at a time to make sure they are
comprehending the things they need to know that
suits their age i.e. from 3 months to 6 months
up towards toddling years when maybe is the
right time to introduce the infant to the
potty, and if your child is quick at picking up
on this, then slowly take time doing the same
for their toilet training
Little babies have
a lot to take on board. Some youngsters fly
through the potty training stage while others
don’t. Some babies may even panic when they see
a toilet. If an infant shows fear of the loo or
potty do not force them to sit on it. Babies
have their own way of letting you know when
they are ready to use the potty. Some signs of
a toddler wanting to wee or poo might include
them dancing on the spot trying to hold in
their wee. While their face being another
giveaway sign to say they want to
piddle.
It can be a
frustrating time getting baby to use the
potty/toilet, but we all have to do it, only
some mother’s have to clean their baby’s dirty
bum longer than others. To the young, potty
training is a complicated issue which includes
various types of actions that need to be
remembered in order – so bear this mind and
consider the little mite at this time trying to
take in so
much.

Signs of
him or her ready to use the potty
include:
The
toddler stays dry for several hours of the day
and starts to have a specific time for bowel
movements. This shows they gain control over
their removal muscles which is a necessity for
potty training sessions to be a triumph.
Toddlers don’t like to be left to long in a wet
or soiled nappy, and will pull at it to remove
it. As a mother you will know your own Childs
behavior and know what they are up to when you
see them squat and grunt, that’s right ready to
open up their bowels to poo. Expect accidents
to happen throughout the time of teaching your
child how to use the potty. Its good advice to
have toilet roll, or paper tissues easily to
hand at every possible convenience for cleaning
up after the
toddler.
Babies
understand and remember basic instructions and
series of behavior, and has an attention span
long enough to make it to the potty, and,
remember it’s for weeing and pooing in. Just
keep on reminding him or her frequently to see
if they need to go to the toilet or use the
potty. Some kids tend to forget until it’s too
late when the pee trickles down their leg or
worse still if we talk bottoms here. And if a
toddler is enjoying themselves playing out with
friends or other, they will wee their pants or
panties before they’ll stop having
fun.
Little boys and
girls love the catchy little phrases you say or
do for different actions. For instance: the
penis might be his Willy or Widgee, and the
girl, her Tuppence or the Minnie.
Let the child pick
his or her own potty when going out to buy one.
An ideal way to begin potty training is to sit
the child while still in his/her nappy on the
potty at around the same time every day, when
you think they need a wee or poo. This will get
them used to being on the potty.
Make potty
training a fun time for the infant. This will
make the process more exciting for them,
instead of being a boring act. You can try
sitting the child’s favorite cuddly toy on the
toilet/potty to coax them to follow what the
teddy or dolly is doing.
Explain in a fun
way this is where they should go if they feel
like they need to have a wee, or do a poo like
their toy is doing.
Keep the potty in
the same place so that it’s always accessible
now baby knows when he/she needs to use
it.
Reward charts are
great for getting a child to use the potty.
Draw up a reward chart and mark a star each
time your child uses the potty. Once they earn
an allotted number of stars reward them with
whatever works best like a pieces of fruit
being the healthiest option.
When your child uses the potty
or toilet, praise and give them big hugs. Show
how pleased you are with their effort and let
them now know that they are mommy’s big boy or
big girl now they are out of
nappies.
