TIME TO POTTY

Surely, since our baby was born, we've been buying and buying diapers, and all we think about is the time for potty training, but it's very important to do it at the right time. The time to start potty training a baby is different for everyone, but ideally, it should begin between 18 and 24 months. Not all mothers sometimes feel worried, but the reality is that all we need is patience and time to give them the necessary attention.
This task is easier in warmer weather, as children often wear fewer and looser clothes so they don't struggle to take them off. Once we've decided to start, we must be persistent, but never imperative.
There are signs that indicate our baby is ready for potty training. They usually show discomfort and point to their diaper when it's wet or soiled. If they wake up from their nap or stay dry for two hours or more during the day, this can be another indicator that they're ready. It's also important that they understand instructions and can pull their clothes down and up independently.
The next step will be to buy him his training potty. It's good for him to get used to it, observe it, touch it, and sit on it. Little by little, we'll explain to him how to use it and that he should let us know when he wants to "pee" or "poop."
Once he has become familiar with this exercise, it is necessary to support him. How?
-Putting on loose clothing that is easy to take off.
-Taking him to the bathroom as often as possible.
-Be aware of their facial expressions, as they generally change their face or body position when they feel the need.
Most children usually have a bowel movement once a day and urinate one hour after drinking fluids, so it's important to keep track of their schedules.
-Stay with them and talk to them so they feel relaxed.
-Don't force them or get angry with them if they didn't succeed.
-Praise them when they succeed.
The time it takes to train them is approximately three to six months. Some people do it in less time; it's not a rule, so we'll have to be patient and provide undivided attention. If the child is in daycare, they'll most likely support this task there, but we have to continue the routine at home to ensure follow-up and reinforce the learning.
Children tend to get wrapped up in their games and may occasionally wet their clothes, so it's best to remind them often to go to the bathroom or take them there, and not scold them if they suddenly forget or can't reach it. Instead, encourage them to continue learning and, when we least expect it, goodbye to diapers!
