Removing diapers and having children tell parents when they need to "pee" is just one method of toilet training and may not suit every child. This is because each child experiences the sensation of "warm liquid flowing down the inner thigh toward the calf" differently.Regarding potty training, mothers should find suitable methods based on their baby's actual situation. Here are several suggestions:
Tips for Training Babies to Defecate Regularly (Public Health Network)
(1) Actively observe your child's reactions before they need to use the bathroom. Generally, children are more receptive to training when they feel the urge.
(2) Choose an attractive potty for your baby. If they like it, they'll be more likely to use it.
(3) The potty prepared for the baby should be lightweight, allowing them to hold and use it independently. Typically, babies prefer activities they can do themselves.
(4) At this stage, babies respond well to praise from parents.
(3) Choose a lightweight potty that your child can hold independently. Children often prefer activities they can manage themselves.
(4) At this stage, children are motivated to repeat actions that earn parental praise. Offer prompt encouragement when your child successfully uses the potty.
(5) Potty training won't happen overnight, so moms shouldn't rush it. Avoid criticizing your child for accidents in their pants, as this can delay their ability to control when they go.
(6) Establish a regular bowel movement schedule. Most infants have one or two bowel movements daily, but conscious control over elimination typically develops between 18 months and 2 years old.Therefore, there's no need to rush potty training. If your child typically has a bowel movement after breakfast, have them sit on the potty or accompany them to the toilet at that time each day. If they cry or refuse, don't force them. Even if successful, some children may resist again around age one as self-awareness develops. Persistence and patience will eventually lead to success.
Nighttime Urinary Control
It's ideal if your baby wakes up on their own to urinate at night. However, if your baby doesn't yet wake up for nighttime bathroom breaks, there's no need to repeatedly wake them to urinate. This can cause crying in a deeply sleeping baby and disrupt their sleep cycle.There is no evidence that frequently waking a child at night to urinate, or waking them at fixed times, helps them learn nighttime bladder control earlier. A full bladder will naturally signal a sleeping baby, prompting them to wake up and communicate their need to urinate. Mothers need not worry—your child won't consistently wet the bed simply because you didn't wake them to urinate.
