Make it happen!

An important moment arrives for every baby, in which he must leave the diaper to start wearing pants. If your little one is about two years old, it is time to start the exercises to achieve it.

 

The reality is that, although it is a natural process, it takes a lot of perseverance and patience to achieve it. We recommend that the moment you decide to start with this transition, there is no turning back.

That is, you should not confuse him by taking off his diaper one day and putting it on the next day. In the beginning, you only have to put a diaper at night for your comfort, always explaining that you will take it off in the morning.

Here are some tips that will help you in this process of leaving the diaper , so that together they enjoy this new stage:

 

  1. Get a potty or potty. You can have attractive colors or figures to make your appearance look nice to your baby.
  2. Dress your little one with comfortable and practical clothes. So that when you feel like going to the bathroom, it's not hard for you to take off your clothes.
  3. Give him the example. If you and your partner ask your baby to accompany them when they go to the bathroom, he or she will understand more easily how it is done.
  4. Avoid pressing your baby when sitting in the potty. Give him opportunity to explore and be comfortable with this new object.
  5. Accompany him to give him instructions and also to praise him when he does it well. This will help increase your confidence and make the process much faster.
  6. Do not scold or punish him. At the beginning, this transition will be difficult and probably will be pee or poop in the pants. If this happens, NEVER scold, punish or humiliate. Better, put on clean clothes, make him feel comfortable and invite him to keep trying.
  7. Ask your baby to tell you every time he wants to go to the bathroom so you can take it and accompany it.
  8. Always load one or two changes of clothes and shorts so you can change it anywhere.
  9. Reassure him with his favorite toy , especially if he is afraid or very scared.

The most important thing is that you be patient and that you support your baby in this transition. Remember that it is a natural process and that at any time your baby will be a child able to go to the bathroom by himself.
