The baby's diaper should be taken around the age of 2, which is when the baby begins to control his bladder and bowel. However, it is normal for some children to be ready to take off their diapers at the age of three.
The important thing is to respect the baby's rhythm and have the patience to teach the child to use the adapted toilet bowl or potty.
Some signs that help parents realize that the baby is already ready to take off the diaper are:
- The baby says he has poop or pee in his diaper;
- The baby tells you when you are doing poop or pee in the diaper;
- The baby says he wants to poop or pee;
- The baby wants to know what the parents or siblings will do to the bathroom;
- The baby stays with the diaper dry for a few hours.
The diaper of the night should be taken when the baby begins to wake up with the dry diaper.
Tips to take off baby's diaper
Some tips for getting a baby's diaper include:
- Explain to the baby that the parent will go to the bathroom to poop or pee;
- Leave the bathroom door open for the baby to see and begin to understand how it is done;
- Put the pot where the baby usually plays, next to his toys;
- Let the baby play with the potty so he gets used to it;
- At first, sit the baby in the pot of panties or underwear;
- Put the diaper poop on the potty in front of the baby so he can see what the pot is for;
- Put the baby without a diaper in the pot several times a day;
-
Leave the baby without diaper initially for 30 minutes, then 1 hour and then longer.
Baby nighttime diapering tips may include not giving the baby water before he sleeps and taking the baby to the bathroom before bedtime and at night.
It may take 5 to 6 months for the baby to unpack and at the beginning it is normal for the baby to pee on the bed, to pee or poop on the clothes or to spend a lot of time sitting in the potty and then when going out to pee or poop on the clothes.
With the arrival of a brother, the baby can stop using the potty and need to use the diaper again, taking more time to leave it.
