Learning to be clean is an important milestone in a child's life, just like learning to walk. Baby becomes potty trained with much simplicity. However, before starting this stage, parents have many questions about how to help their child become clean and what equipment to buy.
As a parent, it is essential not to rush the child and not to compare them to others. Family and friends can worry parents about reaching this milestone. Cleanliness comes at the right time for those who know how to wait.
At what age does a child become clean?
Children generally become clean between 2 and 3 years old. Even if a child can be enrolled in school from age 2, parents should wait until the child has good control of their sphincters before starting school in September or January.
At what age should the potty be introduced?
Some children, from 18 months, begin to show a real “interest” in the potty. Others may have a real blockage for various reasons. The potty is a hard, cold plastic object. Contact can be unpleasant. Baby may feel punished because the potty is often placed in a corner of the room to promote privacy. Baby likes to be at the center of action and on the potty, they may feel excluded.
The potty should therefore be placed within easy reach of the child so they can use it independently.
Does the child become clean during the day and night at the same time?
It depends on the children. Some children are clean both day and night from the start. For others, it is much more difficult. During sleep, the child may have frequent accidents.
To combat nighttime enuresis, it is essential to give the child time. To ensure safety, wearing a diaper at night and placing a sheet in the bed can help during this transition.
Wipes or toilet paper: which is better for cleaning your child's bottom?
Initially, it is preferable to wipe with wipes. Toilet paper, which is rougher, can discomfort the child and not leave the skin perfectly smooth. Our wipes without parabens or phenoxyethanol can be used both for diaper changes and for wiping baby after using the potty.
Is buying a toilet reducer seat really necessary?
Not necessarily. It is more comfortable for the child to have a reducer seat to transition from the potty to the toilet. However, some children find it uncomfortable. A small step is essential so that the baby does not lose balance and fall.
