Product Information

Using the toilet away from home is a good thing for your child to get used to.Talk to them about things like how the flush at the supermarket is different from the one at home or nursery for example. If your child's nappy is dry or only slightly damp when your child wakes for a few mornings in a row, they may be ready for night-time potty training.

If your child is not ready to stop wearing nappies and it's hard for them to know when they've done a wee, you can put a piece of folded kitchen paper inside their nappy. It will stay wet and should help your child learn that weeing makes you feel wet. Night-time potty training If your child has been dry for a while, either at night, during the day or both, and starts wetting themselves again, it may mean they have a bladder infection, constipation, or type 1 diabetes. Ask your GP for more advice. Training pants should be a step towards normal pants, rather than a replacement for nappies. Encourage your child to keep their training pants dry by using the potty. The YouGov study involved 1,176 adults who had at least one child of six and under and was commissioned by the Nappy Alliance, which is campaigning for reusable nappies, and reusable nappy maker Bambino Mio.

Don't forget at this practice stage they can still wear a nappy, but it will boost their capabilities and awareness if they have some nappy free time and potty sits. If you have a boy, encourage him to sit down on the potty for both wees and poos especially in the beginning. We empty our bladder better sitting down and it helps to prevent constipation. You could see if your child is happy to sit on the potty for a moment, just to get used to it, when you're changing their nappy, especially when you're getting them dressed for the day or ready for bed at night. How to start potty training Soft runny poo can then leak round these lumps and bits of hard poo can break away into their underwear.

Encourage your child to be physically active. For more information, read the physical activity guidelines for children aged under 5 years. Give your child plenty of encouragement and praise their efforts. When your child uses the potty or manages to stay dry, even if it's just for a short time, tell them how pleased you are. The trend also has significant environmental implications, since the vast majority of nappies are made from single-use plastic and are not reusable.

For most children, encouraging and supporting them to be as independent as possible is the best way to motivate them.When the bowel gets overstretched, a child can stop feeling the urge to pass a poo. It also makes it harder for them to fully empty their bowel when they go to the toilet.

There are however lots of things you can do to gradually work towards night time dryness including: Critically, the survey showed there is little or no recognition of the relationship between successful potty training and healthy bladders and bowels. Constipation is the most common bowel problem in children, affecting up to 30% of all children and particularly common among pre-school children. It can have a huge impact on potty training yet only 16% include how to identify and manage constipation in their policies. Using play can help teach your child what you expect as well as motivate them. You can use stories, characters and toys to explain to your child what they need to do and teach them how to do it. 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.
