Most often, parents teach a child to potty at the age of about 1.5-2 years. You shouldn't wait for summer to get out of the diaper habit, it can be done in winter too. It is enough to follow a few rules.
1. Plant often in a pot
It sounds hackneyed, but without it in any way. Is that to wait until the age when an adult child takes the pot himself and sits on it. At first it may seem that this is an endless process: the child does not want to sit on the potty, he has to offer it again and again. But over time, you will automatically calculate in your head how often the baby needs a pot, depending on the amount of liquid drunk, etc.
2. Keep the number of diapers to a minimum
At first, you can put on a diaper for sleep and a long walk, but the rest of the time, take it off immediately. By and large, until the child sees the effect of wet pants and realizes that without the pot he will just sit in a puddle, the training will not budge.
3. Stock up on bedding, clothes and diapers
It is better to have in stock several sets of mattress covers, although they do not get wet through, they still get dirty. Do not scold your child for wet pants and sheets, the result does not come the first time. Have patience and washing powder - and send your baby to bed without a diaper.
4. Set the alarm
It is difficult for a child not to go to the toilet all night, but he himself still cannot get out of the crib, sit on the potty and go to sleep further. So you have to help him. Set the alarm to put the child on the potty 2-3 times a night. Of course, you don't want to wake him up, but if there is a puddle under him, you will also have to change clothes.
5. Do not stretch potty training over time
You can get away from using diapers within a month if you show persistence and patience. For example, diapers for sleep and for a walk can be abandoned almost simultaneously - with a difference of several days.
