Toilet/Potty Training

 

Thinking about saying goodbye to your baby's diapers? When is the right time to potty train your toddler? What are the advantages of early potty training? Read up our information below as a guide to start potty train your toddler. Potty training is a skill that your toddler has to learn and develop when the time is right. The usual sequence of gaining bladder and bowel control is:

 

1.    night time bowel control

2.   daytime bowel control

3.   daytime bladder control

4.   night time bladder control  

 

Toilet Training Readiness Checklist

 

Use the checklist below to test if your child is ready to 'become a grown up' in using potty and eventually sharing the same toilet with adults. You don't have to wait until you've checked off every item to start. Just look for a general trend towards independence and an understanding of what it means to go to the bathroom like a grown-up.

 

Physical signs

 

*  Has "dry" periods of at least 2-3 hours, which shows that his bladder muscles are developed enough to hold urine.

 

Has regular, well-formed bowel movements at relatively predictable times.

 

 

Behavioural signs

 

*  Can sit down quietly in one position for two to five minutes.

 

*  Dislikes the feeling of wearing a wet or dirty diaper.

 

Refuses to wear diapers.

 

Shows interest or imitate in others' bathroom habits (wants to watch you go to the bathroom or wear underwear).

 

  Gives a physical or verbal sign when he's having a bowel movement such as grunting, squatting, or telling you.

 

  Demonstrates a desire for independence.

 

Takes pride in his accomplishments

 

*   Isn't resistant to learning to use the toilet.

 

Is in a generally cooperative stage, not a negative or contrary one.

 

Cognitive signs

 

  Can follow simple instructions, such as "go get the toy."

 

Understands simple words like

 

Understands the value of putting things where they belong.

 

*  Has words for urine and stool.

 

*  Understands the physical signals that mean he has to go and can tell you before it happens or even hold it until he has time to get to the potty.

 

 

Toilet Training Tips

 

1.     Start early

 

Although some experts will advise you to start toilet training when your child is ready but base on many mothers experiences, the earlier you start the better it is for your child to grasp and accept the idea of using potty or toilet seat. You can start by training on 'big business' to create a consistent routine even when your child is in infant stage. Observe and look out for his passing motion routine and put him on the potty on that particular time frame daily. Once your child has a passing motion routine, you actually save time and money plus your child is learning to associate passing motion with potty. This will make his 'small business' training much easier when the time is right.

 

2.    Toilet/Potty Tour

 

Before you begin your big plan to train your child, it is best to familiarize or introduce him to his potty or toilet. Explain the process of using a potty or toilet. The next time he poops in his diaper, take him to the potty, sit him down, and empty the diaper beneath his into the bowl. Afterward, let him flush if he wants to (but don't force him if he's scared) so he can watch her diaper contents disappear. Toddlers are great imitators and naturally curious. Subsequently, you can also bring him along whenever you, your spouse or elder siblings need to use the toilet.

 

3.  Be consistent

 

One of the major reasons for failing to potty train your child in the shortest time possible is inconsistency. Whenever there's a cue that he's likely to have bowel movement like straining or suddenly stay still and quiet down, set your toddler on the potty seat or simply put him on the potty same time everyday to create a routine, whichever you deem suitable.

 

For a start, you may need to bring the child to the potty every 30 minutes and gradually increase the time until he is able to tell you the urge of using the potty automatically without reminder. Some mothers used timer to help them to be consistent.

 

4.  Avoid using disposable pull-ups

 

To speed up the training process or have better succeeding rate, put your child into training pants to let your child aware that he's pee or poop in them but still able to contain the mess or lessen the leak. When your child consistently seeks out the potty whenever he has to go, it's time to move on to "big-kid" underwear. ,

 

5.    All praise but no punishment

 

Give your child some ego boost by praising them whenever he makes a successful trip to the potty. There are all kinds of praise can be used -  sing a song, Hi-5, chicken dance, sticker rewards, treats etc. Whenever there is an accident, you shouldn't punish or shrug off the incident by saying, "its ok, Honey" as it will give a negative message to the child. Instead, put up a sort-of-disappointed face and explain to him that pee-pee or poop-poop should go to the toilet or potty.

 

6.    Right equipment

 

Invest in the right potty chair that is the right size, comfortable and anti-slip. It is a good idea to buy a portable toilet seat (adapter seat) if your family travels a lot. Do include an anti-slip stool for the child to get up and down easily if your child uses the adapter toilet seat.

 

7.   Be patient

 

Expect some accidents before your child is fully trained as his bladder and rectum muscles are maturing. In all developmental milestones, babies take two steps forward and one step backwards. Once he's declared toilet independent, you might want to remind him to go toilet once in a while especially when he's in the midst of having fun and preoccupied with interesting activities.

 

8.    Introduce night training

 

Don't give away that stash of diapers just yet. Even when your child is consistently clean and dry all day, it may take several more months, or even years, for him to stay dry all night. Generally at the age of 18 months or so, his body is still too immature to wake him up in the middle of the night just to go to the bathroom. If he manages to stay dry for five nights in a row, it's a good time to start nighttime training in earnest. Put a plastic sheet under the cloth one to protect the mattress, and put your toddler to bed in underwear (or nothing) and see how it goes. For a start, you might want to wake him up for toilet trips as mastering the process takes time.

 

9.    Follow up habits

 

Do teach your little girl to wipe their private parts from front to back after passing urine and wash their hands thoroughly.
