Disney Cars 2 Steady Potty - Red - Lightning McQueen

Product Information

Teaching your child how to use a potty and feel comfortable around wee and poo gives them a gentle journey towards being independent from nappies. It also helps avoid many common potty training problems in the future. If you see any of these signs or you know your child needs to do a wee or poo, gently direct them to use the potty. Many children spend part of their day being looked after by someone other than you and away from home.

Once they can stand, do nappy or pull-up changes standing up and involve them in cleaning up and flushing poo down the toilet. Talk to them whilst you're doing it so they begin to understand where wee and poo goes and the language we use for the toilet and how our body feels.Try to stay calm and not put pressure on yourself or your child. It's fine to only do what feels manageable for you both - it's all part of their learning process. You don’t need to abandon potty practice, just pause until your child is feeling better or more willing. Research shows it is better for your child’s bladder and bowel health to stop using nappies between 18 and 30 months. Constipation affects 1 in 3 children and is especially common in under 5s. Your child may be struggling because they have some underlying constipation that was there before you started potty training.

Make sure your child is drinking enough during the day. Aim for 6-8 drinks a day. Water is the best drink but milk in moderation and well-diluted squash is OK too.This cookie, set by YouTube, registers a unique ID to store data on what videos from YouTube the user has seen. Just like when helping them to walk and talk, you can start teaching your child to use a potty before they stop using nappies. This gives them all the time and practice they need to succeed with being independent from nappies when the time comes. Reusable cloth potty training pants are handy if you are travelling or when your child is at nursery. These are like underwear but with an absorbent layer to help soak up accidents which can be washed and used again. Find out what they are offered to drink to you can supplement appropriately at the beginning and end of the session. If the setting will only offer water, and your child is reluctant to consume enough water, talk to staff. Offer to supply juice or squash for them to dilute; it is vital for your child to stay well hydrated when they are away from home. Your child has a lot to learn at each stage. This is why it makes sense to do some preparation and practice together before they stop wearing nappies.
