The issue of baby’s bowel movements has been one of the points of debate between two generations. The older generation will always argue that the earlier a newborn is pooped and peed on, the better the child’s growth will be. Many older people even start “boo-booing” from the moment your baby is born ~ and with the successful whistle of peeing. Young parents will always think about their children’s bodies and feel that early pooping and peeing will affect their children’s crest development, or they want to let nature take its course. Two generations are arguing about this. In addition to the physiological aspect of toilet training, the psychological aspect is also very important: let your child decide for himself when he can be toilet trained, so that he can feel in control of his own life and be his own master. If the child is deprived of his or her autonomy and trained in advance, it will not only bring parents a lot of unnecessary trouble, but will also put psychological pressure on the child and cause harm. Traditional urination can sometimes cause damage to the child’s hip bone or leave behind frequent urination. The urethral sphincter and anal sphincter muscles do not develop until the baby is 2 to 3 years old, which is the basis for controlling urination. A lot of parents understand that practicing sitting early is bad for the development of the crestal vertebrae, in fact, it is the same thing with pooping and peeing, it is practicing the muscle groups that are not fully developed yet. Perhaps some mothers will say, my family less than 6 months old can be fixed time to put the poop and pee ah. This is not really worth bragging about, it is just a conditioned reflex due to the intensive training. They do not know how to defecate according to the urge to urinate, but are waiting for their parents to put the action or “boo-boo” sound to urinate. This early training of immature muscles can lead to a lack of reflex to hold urine or even lack of it. In other words, the baby can not learn to pee and poop according to their own needs, but to rely on external reminders to carry out. 2. Instead of getting older, children who wear diapers to bed at night are prone to frequent bedwetting. Many children who wear diapers to bed at night are able to control nighttime urination around the age of 2 or even earlier, or hold urine all night until morning. In contrast, most children who are diapered at night still need to bother their parents to get up in the middle of the night to put the diaper on when they are 2 years old. Children who don’t or seldom do urinate during the day are more likely to start telling their parents to pee earlier and to start using the potty or squatting down to pee earlier. This is because children who don’t and rarely do have a better grasp of the urge to urinate because they have always done so based on the urge to urinate. In contrast, children who are overly wetted are always confused between wetting according to the urge and wetting according to the action of wetting, and have a poor grasp of the urge. In addition, when the child wets the bed when he/she is older, the parents will easily blame the child for wetting the bed. This further increases the baby’s psychological burden, thus entering a vicious circle. How old can my baby be trained to go to the toilet on his own? Successful toilet training depends entirely on the physical and emotional readiness of the baby, and there is no exact time frame. Most children show interest in “going to the toilet on their own” by the age of 2, but some children wait until they are 2 1/2 or older. There is no rush in this matter. Starting training too early may cause your child to take longer to learn. How to properly and effectively train your baby to defecate? 1. For the first few weeks, let your child (without undressing) sit on the child’s potty and tell him about the potty, such as what it is for and when to use it. 2.After your child willingly sits on the potty, parents can remove the diaper and try to let your child sit on the potty. 3.After the child gets used to the potty, you can throw the excrement from the baby’s diaper into the potty, so that the baby can understand the meaning of the potty more deeply. 4.It is a good choice to prepare a cute potty. A convenient and cute potty will make your baby more willing to go to the potty voluntarily or tell an adult when he/she has to pee. It will also allow your baby to slowly learn to remove and lift his or her own pants, learn to control his or her own precise sitting on the potty, and learn the skill of not peeing outside. These improved abilities will also enhance the baby’s confidence. There are many different kinds of potties available on the market, including cross-seat and backrest ones. Mom can choose according to her baby’s preferences. If you don’t like one, try another one. 5, there is also a widely applicable way, is to let children come in when adults go to the toilet “observation”. Children learn by imitation, and especially like to imitate what adults do, and feel great about themselves when they do it. Tell your baby, “Mommy wants to pee, go to the toilet, sit on the toilet, then pee, then get up and lift your pants, then flush.” Many babies will enjoy using the toilet simply because they like to flush. The following points can be used to determine if your baby is ready for self-controlled bowel movements: 1. is interested in the toilet, potty, or wearing underwear; 2. understands your commands and follows them obediently; 3. can express with words, facial expressions, or other postures when he or she wants to go to the toilet; 4. can keep his or her butt dry for more than two hours; 5. complains of discomfort after wetting or pooping in a diaper; 6. has learned to pull down and lift 6. has learned the action of pulling down and lifting pants; 7. can sit and stand up on the potty.
