BABY CENTRE NIGHT POTTY TRAINING



BABY CENTRE NIGHT POTTY TRAINING

Night time potty training is the same as bed wetting. Most of the times it has been very difficult to actually find what the difference is between night time potty training and bedwetting. The night time kind of potty training is meant for children who are under the age of 5 years, whose bodies are still naturally growing as a very fast rate and their bladders find it very hard to keep up. However, bed wetting is for children between the ages of 5 to 13 years who have wetting accidents at night. Most of the times parents to children who have accidents at night are likely to be aggravated since they think that these children do it because they are lazy or they are trying to be rebellious.

Achieving night time potty training is not simply a learned skill, but rather a physiological development and the control is involuntary. In most cases, circumstances require learning how to achieve night time control. Research has shown that most babies urinate around the clock and then at the age of 18months, they make the transition from urinating around the clock to only urinating during the waking hours as is the case with most adults.

The key to dealing with nighttime accidents is slightly different with dealing with day time accidents, because these accidents are not intentional. The child does not have the aptitude to control the accidents so, there are no consequences given. The child does not want to have the accidents any more than you do. Therefore it’s the parents obligation not to get angry , clean up the mess and move on.

If your child is having more than 3 accidents per month, I would recommend the usage of pull ups and cloth training pants until your child get a bit older and hopefully achieve night time control.
Below is a guideline on how to achieve night time potty training faster.
  • If your child is dry most mornings, subsequently try moving to underwear and see if your child will actually stay dry or wake up during the night to use the potty. Make sure that you have some mattress protection in place, so the clean up can be done easily with minimal frustration.

  • Mattress pads can to put on top of the bed sheets or wrapped around both sides of the mattress. It is always safe to have two of these pads so you do not have to strip the whole bed at night but just change the mattress pad.


  • If your child is wetting often say like 2-3 times per week, I would suggest that he be sleeping in disposable pull up. This makes it easier on everyone involved.  The pull ups should be put on just before bedtime and this is after he has used to potty or toilet. These pants should be removed as soon as the child wakes up. Removing the pants in the morning will encourage the use of potty in the mornings.
So, to be successful with night time potty training do the following,
  • Know your child's behavior pattern for waking up dry
  • Based on this information, be prepared with a plan on how you will address night time potty training
  • Be patient and be flexible; adjust plan as needed.
  • Consult your child's pediatrician if you have issues or concerns.



BABY CENTER EARLY POTTY TRAINING



BABY CENTER EARLY POTTY TRAINING

The best time to begin potty training is between the birth of the kid and four months. This is according to those parents who have used infant potty training also known as baby led potty training. It is the same parents that claim that the older the child, the longer it is going to take him to learn this transition. Today we are going to review a few basic steps on early potty training.

The most important and crucial sign to watch out is when the child can make one distinctive elimination sign. This can be achieved by gently holding him gently over a toilet or a potty where he can easily go on his own and without much sweat.
The next step is to watch your kid and get to know his abolition patterns. It is good to know how often your child goes to the bathroom. It is also good to get to know if he has a particular time that he goes.


Make some repetitive sounds or phrases whenever you see that your toddler goes to the toilet or potty and this will make him learn to associate with his eliminations. After some time your baby will familiarize himself with these sounds and he will connect hos won impulses with the act of using the toilet.


Accidents are bound to happen, but stay relaxed and it good and this attitude helps your child to also stay relaxed about the whole process too. If you can put him on diapers it is also a good way to prevent these accidents at night.

It is wise to keep a potty right next to the bed at night and also it is recommended that the baby uses the potty immediately after nursing or if he wakes up in the night and is restless. This sign of restlessness could be a result of the bowel movement or if they are pressed since children do not pee or poo in their sleep.

Being flexible is another basic step in early potty training. You do not need to be a perfectionist in infant potty training. As we had discussed above, it is fine to use diapers at times during the night. This makes life a bit easier and reduces laundry and mess in the bedroom. Also cloth diapers can be recommended for night use since they are absorbent and cost effective unlike diapers. They are washable and reusable.

Last and not least stay positive and avoid using pressure or any kind of punishment. Nonetheless your child will learn to use the potty eventually. Be gentle and always be positive. Commend him for the times he has been able to use the potty and also reward. A little sense of humor can go a long way. Make jokes about the pee and poop at one time or the other.



TOILET TRAINING REGRESSION



TOILET TRAINING REGRESSION

Toilet training regression can occur due to several circumstances. One of the chief cause of this relapse is simply the development regression. If you take a look back at your child’s development at the various stages since childbirth you are likely to remember instances where your child seemed to back track after making a huge developmental leap forward. This is completely natural and but at the same time it can be very frustrating. However it is vital to keep calm and avoid expressing negativity outwardly towards your child. It just another stage in life and it will soon pass.

Another reason for potty regression is when a child is faced with stress. This may occur immediately after moving into a new home or even when the child changes school. Other times regression in children can be caused if a new born arrives in the family. Marital chaos is also another cause of potty training regression in children. These stress felt by the child are commonly represented outwardly in regression. None the less it is advisable for parents to give these children the time and space to adjust to these major changes in their lives. It is also recommended that the parents should keep the potty training pressure off their children as much as possible during these trying times.

Toilet training regression is very normal and quite common in most potty training children. As soon as you discover that your child is suffering, stop everything and take a breather. By doing this you are able to keep at bay the frustrations that you are the parent is going through. Most of the times before children start relapsing there must have been a few heated words exchange and the children now have the idea that Mommy or Daddy is not pleased with their training performances.

Another reason for a regression could either be rooted in a psychological problem or could even be a medical problem. While doctors could investigate the medical reasons better, here are a few tips which could help you to counter potty training regression in your kid in case it has stemmed from an emotional upset.

Be Patient
 
Patience is the most basic requirement for effective potty training. Refrain from creating a fuss over accidents then and try to stay calm. Instead of punishing the kid for the accident, mention briefly that it should better be repeated in the washroom next time and simply clean up the mess.

Say No to Diapers
 
Potty training regression does not necessarily have to be accompanied with regression to the use of diapers again. If the child gets adapted to diapers, it would be doubly tough to prevent himfrom using the potty.

Counter Potty Training Regression By Acting An Emotional Cushion
 
At times, children have fear of leaving their activity or being expelled from a playgroup if they take time out for potty. Relief them and reassure them that you would not let their favorite toy being taken away from them until they return. This would make him feel secure and he would not shy away from going to the washroom.

 Keep note of routines
 
Take a note of the timings when accidents happen and reach to a pattern. This would arm you better in countering potty training regression as you would now be able to persuade your kid to use the potty at the right time.

Be Praiseful of his efforts
 
Lastly, do not let your praise for the child's efforts to die away as he learns the task. Make it a point to let him know that he has done a commendable job by using the potty. Your acknowledgment would coax him to do even better.

POTTY TRAINING CHILDREN LESS THAN TWO YEARS OLD

Potty training children who are less than three years old can a daunting task as the little ones can be repelling and very messy. If the parents make one wrong move it may end up consuming a lot of hours in potty training. Understanding toddlers can also be very difficult. You are not sure when they want to go pee or poop. Most of the times parents do not understand why their toddlers do not want to make the transition from diaper to potty. Although the diapers do a good job of keeping your child comfortable, it also delays potty training and poses a major health risk.

Potty training toddlers who are less than three years old should start as early as possible. The longer you delay the potty training sessions, the more dependent your child becomes to diapers and the more difficult it is for the parents accomplish their mission of potty training.
If you want to start potty training your toddler who are less than 3 year old, you will need to know all of these things. If you make one wrong mistake, it can cost you hours of training and you will set you back. This is why many parents hire a professional that will get the job done fast. Therefore, it is the best for parents to get educated about some simple and yet powerful techniques that can save days of headaches. Potty training toddlers who are less than 3 year old does not have to be difficult if approached correctly!

Nevertheless, if you begin the procedure before the appropriate time, the child will be uncomfortable with the process and harmful to the welfare of the child. However, if you are too late to begin the training, your child will be more difficult to be trained to potty.

Listed below are 5 major potty training tips that can help you succeed in training the toddlers who are less than 3 years old.

Start Early

Start putting your child on the potty early sometime between 12 & 18 months is good. This isn't to get him to do anything but to get him used to sitting on it. Once a child reaches the age of two he is at the "no" stage and often doesn't like anything new being introduced into his life without it being a battle. Think how much money you could save if your child is potty trained at the age of two instead of three years of age.

Make a Decision

One of the most confusing things for your child is if you chop and change. Make a decision as what day you want to start toilet training and then do it. Don't start potty training for a couple of days and think that tomorrow's going to be a busy day so lets forget about it and put diapers on again. This will confuse your child and make potty training much more difficult.

Be Consistent

At whatever age you start be consistent in the way you potty train, this includes the words you use. Every member of your family and any other adult involved in caring for your child need to do and say the same things. Therefore decide before you start how you are going to undertake potty training your child and once this decision is made stick to it.

Praise & Reward

Use praise and rewards for success and never punishment for accidents. This can be more difficult if you tired or are having a very busy day. If you would like a free potty training chart to use as an incentive then I will give you one at the end of my potty training course. If you let your child choose their own stickers to put on the chart then this will be an added incentive to use the potty or toilet.

When not to start potty training
Never start potty training when there is going to be a big change or a very exciting time in your child's life. What may be a little change in your life may appear to be quite large to your child. Going on vacation, Christmas time, moving home or having someone visiting for a few days are all times when it would be advisable not to start toilet training your child.
Last and not least, approach toilet training with confidence and not fear and you will succeed much quicker and with less stress.
