TIPS AND ESSENTIALS FOR UNFURL TIME
Leaving diapers can be a challenging phase for both children and parents. It takes a good dose of calm, patience and counting on several oversights during the process. Relax and uncomplicate... it's part of it!
With the hot summer months approaching, it is usually time to start potty training for children between the ages of 2 and 3 years, when most children are already able to control their sphincters and consciously identify when they need to go. the bathroom.
Trust, complicity and praise are essential to help a child out of diapers. Check out our tips for getting started:
understand the signs
Walking safely, already knowing how to sit, having a dry diaper after naps, or showing (even if not verbally) that you already recognize when you need to go to the bathroom, are signs that your child is ready for potty training.
Get ready
Not only do children need to prepare for potty training – parents do too. The best time for potty training is when the family is ready to try and follow each step of the process.
don't be in a hurry
Achieving the desired result will be easier if the process is done calmly and patiently. Start by taking off diapers during the day – when daytime accidents reduce, they'll be ready to start trying to potty train at night.
Celebrate every achievement
Whenever you congratulate your child on an achievement, it will help him to feel proud and motivated to continue the training. On the other hand, the pressure will make you feel incapable which can delay the process.
Have the right articles
To simplify every step of potty training, it's essential to have the right items: a potty, training pants, toilet seat, a support stool and clothing that's easy to change and clean.
If you have doubts about which items to choose for the entire unfurling process, we explain below which are the most suitable for each stage and situation:

Toilet bowls and reducers
To start potty training, you need to choose the essential potty (or pot), which is available in several models:
Simple potty: designed for its essential function, it is available in plain colors or with the little ones' favorite characters, such as Mickey or Minnie, to encourage children to use the potty. Some of these models integrate music to make the moment more fun.
Toilet-shaped toilet: simulates the toilet for adults, being available with a lid, flush toilet, music and/or flushing sound to make the moment more fun. In addition, being a perfect simulation of the toilet, potty training is facilitated by imitating adult behavior.
Multipurpose potty: accompanies the child's growth. In a first phase, it is used as a potty to start the potty training; later as a toilet reducer, when the child is more secure and ready to use the toilet and, finally, as a support bench to be able to use the toilet independently or reach the sink.
Toilet reducer: in a second phase of training, the toilet reducers are ideal for the child to leave the potty and start using the adult toilet directly, with a support that makes them safe and calm during use. There are ergonomic models, padded and/or with side handles that promote greater safety, stability and comfort. The toilet reducers are also useful and very practical for travel or simply going out of the house, ensuring that the child can use the bathroom with total hygiene and safety.
There are also toilet reducers and portable multifunction pots designed especially for walks and trips. These are essential so that the child can continue to train safely and hygienically even outside the home. In the case of multifunction pots, given their high portability and the possibility of using refills, they can be used anywhere and at any time, such as on the beach or at a stop in the middle of the trip. To protect the car seat, there are waterproof covers designed for this purpose, which ensure that the car seat remains dry and odor free.
Learning Underpants
Learning briefs are also essential for the potty training process. They are the perfect underwear for the transition between diapers and underwear.
The outer layer of the learning briefs is water resistant and the lightly padded inner protection catches small leaks - but does not absorb high flows - so they are ideal for reminding your child when they need to go potty.
As they dress like normal panties, they also promote the child's autonomy, being able to change them alone or with a little help. They usually have fun prints that encourage the child to want to use them and to better accept the process of leaving the diapers.
In turn, reusable swimming diapers can also be a perfect ally to start potty training. Designed for use on the beach or in the pool, they have a water resistant layer and are lined on the legs, preventing any oversights from leaking.
Clothes and Footwear for Unfurl
When working on the child's autonomy during training, always choose clothes that are easy to put on and take off. It is important for the child to be able to take off his pants or shorts quickly. So, at this stage, avoid overalls, overalls, bodysuits and other more complicated pieces of clothing that can compromise the child's dexterity.
A few changes of clothes will also be essential during the potty process. If the training is carried out in the summer months, the cotton t-shirt and shorts sets are the most practical and light to take and change at any time. In the final stage of training, cotton underwear packs are the best to take in your suitcase and change with every possible oversight.
We can't talk about potty training without talking about rubber sandals or clogs . Given their ease of cleaning and quick drying, rubber sandals are the ideal footwear to use during training, being practical and quick to sanitize after any carelessness or accident during the process.
Remember that training should be started under the guidance of the pediatrician and, if the child attends day care, with the support of kindergarten teachers. In case of doubts, it will be the health professional who can help parents to understand the most favorable time to start, interrupt or resume the training process.
It should also be noted that daytime training does not have to coincide with nighttime training. In fact, it is quite common for children to leave diapers first during the day, when they are more aware of when they need to go to the bathroom, and only later at night. Assess your child's preparation and maturity and understand whether you should start the two processes at different times, as each child has their own pace and time.
Now that you've taken note of all the tips and articles you need for the potty training process, prepare this challenging phase and turn it into a fun learning experience for the whole family.
