To teach your child to pee on the potty or toilet and thus to stop wearing diapers, it is advised to take her to pee at the following times of the day, every day:
- When you wake up in the morning;
- When you wake up from the afternoon sleep;
- Before you go to bed.
The ideal age to start discontinuing diapers is from the age of 18 months, which is when the child is more comfortable in controlling the sphincters.
Steps to leave the diaper
The steps consist of:
1. The first step to unfurl is as soon as the child wakes up to put her to pee in the bathroom and then wear panties or underwear to get accustomed to the feeling of not being in diapers.
2. Ask her several times if she wants to go pee in the bathroom. Children usually pee within 2 hours of having a meal or drinking liquids. So keep an eye on the clock and take it to the bathroom when it's time.
3. Be alert to any sign that the baby wants to pee. Some sit in the same position for a few seconds and if this happens, take it quickly to pee.
4. If the time for peeing is approaching, what you can do is place the baby sitting on the potty and put his feet in a bowl of water. Children usually pee when their feet are wet.
Whenever the baby pees in the potty or in the pot, make lots of compliments and be very affectionate with him. If you need a reinforcement, buy stickers with stars and other designs and give as gifts every time he can.
