potty training

Each child is different but I would not try before the age of two. There are signs of potty readiness. They really need control of their bowels before they can. Even if they are physically ready, they might not be emotionally ready. It's never a good idea to push it just to get them out of diapers early. A good idea is to just introduce them to a potty chair. Whenever you notice them doing something in their diaper, fully clothed just put the toddler on the chair, so they start to associate the act with the toilet. Some signs of this control are having bowel movements around the same time each day, not having bowel movements at night, and having a dry diaper after a nap or for at least two hours at a time. Children must also be able to climb, talk, remove clothing, and have mastered other basic motor skills before they can use the toilet by themselves. Each child is different and there are many approaches to toilet training. My son was ready in the summer and I had bare floors, so I let him run around without diapers, and if he had an accident, I cleaned it up, made no big deal of it and brought him to the potty. With my daughter, she did fine with cotton training pants. She was younger as girls usually are more mature at that point.

as soon as you can-that way you wont have to wipe and clean everytime he didnt reached the comfort room. Its nice to have a bedpan that way they can easily associate with it. Its ver useful too, if its youre first child better invest in a good one that way future kids can use it too, well same for all babies needs like walker, highchair,crib-its a wise investment
