Infant Potty Training Tips

Infant Potty Training Tips
 
The most essential tip for successful infant potty training is time. Moms are always busy. There's cooking to do and minding the house and husband apart from keeping an eye on the baby and if mom is employed, the likelihood of potty training an infant seems far-flung. If this stops you from infant potty training, these simple tips will ease your load and help you manage baby's potty time.

In the first few weeks of infant potty training it will be difficult because you and baby need will rest after the whole day of training. But this time can be best used to observe baby's elimination schedule. 

It is best to ask yourself some of these questions, baby settled on a regular rhythm? Is baby toilet active during day time or night time? Knowing all these will help you or your caregiver roll out a working system to train baby.

Design the baby's day and night elimination schedule so you can allocate the daytime training to your caregiver and do the night routine with the help of baby's Dad. This way, the training won't disrupted and confuse the baby. On weekends take the day time load.

It is good to let baby wear cloth diapers so she learns that being wet is not comfy. This is the opposite with disposable nappies where they absorb all the wetness leaving the baby still dry. Though these are opportune for the parents, they will not develop good hygiene habits and most of the times lead to diaper rash and irritation. Chances are baby won't shed her nappies for cloth diapers or knickers and it will be difficult to introduce the potty routine.

Training the caregiver and Dad in the proper reading of the baby's body signals and show them how the baby should be handled and in no way should they hurry the baby or lose their temper - infant potty training is never easy. But they will have to learn eventually.

Involving Dad in training the baby to recognize the sensations leading to elimination, does not only ease your load, it also eases his too. His participation also ensures bonding between father and daughter (or son). So no matter how busy you are, there's Dad who can take over the task anytime.
