Potty training

Wide selection of potties for children

Time flies when you have a little child. Suddenly, they start showing interest in getting rid of the diaper, and then it's just a matter of seizing the opportunity and starting potty training. It can be a challenging process for both children and adults, but don't despair, it will succeed. You can help yourself and your child by having a nice potty and possibly a child seat for the toilet, so your child feels comfortable using both the potty and the toilet.

Potty training, when should you start?

It's not straightforward to answer exactly when you should start potty training, but the best time to consider it is when your child starts showing interest in it. Avoid pressuring your child, but let them explore at their own pace. Try to encourage and support without putting pressure on the child to perform. Most children get rid of the diaper when they are between two and three years old.

How to succeed with potty training

If you can make sitting on the potty a cozy and safe thing, even if nothing comes out, it can make it easier for your child. As mentioned, avoid pressuring, as it only creates frustration for the child if they can't give you what you're asking for.

Once your child has cracked the code, it's about making it a habit and responding to it when the child feels the urge. Therefore, it can be a good idea to have the potty or toilet seat ready and help the child check in between.

And make sure to have a good stack of old underwear that you wouldn't mind getting urine or feces on, and dress the child in the oldest clothes during that period. That way, you don't have to stress about the clothes getting ruined.

Potty, toilet, and potty training pants

When you're potty training, it's about finding the solutions that work best for you.

You can use a potty that can be ready on the floor. This solution is often the most straightforward and the one most children feel safest with. The potty is close to the ground, and they don't have to be afraid of falling down.

You can also use a child toilet seat for the regular toilet. It can be handy to have a stool so the child can reach. Make sure the child can reach the toilet paper.

Potty training pants can collect a small amount of urine and remind the child that wet pants mean they need to go to the toilet. However, they cannot be used instead of a diaper.
