How to leave the diaper

Leaving the diaper is a great step forward in the child's autonomy. For the process of leaving the diaper is quick and easy you have to choose the right time with great care taking into account the state of physical and mental maturation of the child. In order to leave the diaper we must first be sure that the child is able to control sphincters, a maturing process that the child usually reaches between 2 and 4 years. Leaving the diaper in summer is more comfortable because the child has less clothes and if there are accidental leaks there will be less clothes to wash but it is best to start as soon as we detect that the child is ready whether it is summer or not. In addition, summer coincides many times with trips and vacations, activities that break the routine and can generate nervousness in the child. The goal is to integrate the routine of going to the bathroom in your life so that in choosing the right time in addition to the state of maturation of the child we will take into account the time of the environment and family activities. It is necessary to avoid that the moment of leaving the diaper coincides with events such as trips, removals, births of brothers, beginnings of schooling and remember that this type of event can cause regressions in children who already have the acquired habit.
