But it is also understood if parents feel that they baby is not ready for potty
training. Potty training is a learning process, so you and your child should all
be ready. Your child has to understand what you want, and then has to learn how
to do it.
1. Those who succeeded in potty training since baby said they started by wearing
their baby a clothes diaper. It saved so much money since you don’t need to use
expensive disposal diaper. Cloth diapers are made of an absorbent material, such
as cotton. Cotton is the best natural fiber for absorbency.
When the cotton fibers comes in contact with a liquid, each fiber will absorb as
much liquid as it can hold, then pass the remaining liquid to the next dry fiber
until all the liquid is absorbed. Baby who wears clothes will feel uncomfortable
wet feeling and the knowledge that they can prevent it. Most babies will wake up
dry in the morning at several months of age, demonstrating that they are
physically able to "hold it".
2. The second step is to make your baby understand more about his body. It's
only natural during this development stage that your child notices the parts of
his body. He may be able to name some parts like his eyes and feet. He knows his
eyes see.
He knows his feet walk. Now, he's beginning to know what the beginning of a
bowel movement or bladder feels like. Since that he realizes what happened to
his body and why he needs to go to the bathroom, he will understand that potty
training is important. By that time, it will be easier for you to potty
training.
3. After your baby gets bigger take him into the bathroom when you go. That way,
they know what's going on in there. Talk to them about what toilets are for. If
you are a woman at home all day with boy children, encourage Daddy to show them
how it's done.
4. For the continuity of potty training, buy 3 or 4 of those cheap little molded
plastic potties and put them around the house. At least, one in each bathroom
and one in the kitchen or the room where you spend the most time with your
child. Stick a towel underneath for the sake of your carpet if said child is a
boy.
5. Last but not least, always give your baby appreciation for what he/she has
done. One popular method is to give stickers and a calendar to keep track of
his/her successes. Every time he/she goes to the potty, your baby gets a sticker
that he can then paste onto the page.
If your child starts to lose interest but is well into toilet training, you may
want to consider offering other rewards.
