Potty Training Tips
Ensuring a smooth transition from nappies to potty training is a much anticipated milestone for both parents and little ones. In the beginning stages make sure your little one and you are ready. Is your little one showing signs they are ready? Like willingness to sit on the potty, are they aware of the need to go, are they interested in your or a sibling’s toilet habits, do you have the time to really focus on potty training? If yes, great, if not don’t feel pressured that other people’s kids are out of nappies - make sure the time is right for your family.
First off, the comfort of being at home during potty training cannot be overstated. Creating a home environment conducive to potty training involves factors like dedicating a few days, perhaps a long weekend, to focus on the process without any interruptions. Having two potties strategically placed and a toddler toilet seat can make for a seamless experience, encouraging your little one to transition from diapers to using the toilet independently.
While the changing bag ensures preparedness on outings, you can make the process more efficient at home, by using your changing bag as a central hub for supplies. It should carry extra pairs of pants, wipes, portable potty training tools, and emergency clean-up essentials to help make the process as stress free as possible whether out and about or at home
We suggest our ANA Eco Changing Backpack as it features a light grey interior which allows you to quickly locate items, and its numerous pockets inside will definitely allow you to over-stock on your essentials. A central hub for supplies ensures that parents have everything they need within reach, making the process much more manageable.
Additionally, having new toys, books, etc to entertain your child at home during this time, can turn potty training into a positive and engaging experience. The transition from diapers to potty training becomes a collaborative and positive experience, fostering independence and confidence in the comfort of home. Good luck!
