Initial weaning from diapers

At the clinic you can get an organized 6-week rehab program for children aged one and a half and up. To make an appointment

The process of weaning from diapers is accompanied by many parents with many concerns and question marks:
Is the boy or girl ready for rehab?
How to start rehab? Should I take off the diaper? Should I use a detox diaper? pot? Ishbanon? Urine? How to combine detox with the gene?
From all directions the parents are inundated with advice, examples, instruction books, articles and articles, there are those who try and back down, and there are those who hesitate to try, postpone and postpone the process. There are those who are actually full of desire and motivation but encounter a stubborn factor - the kindergarten teacher or caregiver - who stands by her refusal, claiming that the boy or girl is "simply immature" ....
The signs or criteria for diaper ripening in toddlers are: motor ability (sitting, not necessarily walking) and basic verbal comprehension ability - ability to say pee and poop or at least a basic understanding of these concepts. Also - the boy or girl should understand the concept of "well done!" Accompanied by applause and applause.
It is important to know that there is a fundamental difference between identifying the "product" (usually, poop) and distinguishing the making process (poop or urination). A child can know how to identify a product but for the purpose of weaning from the diaper he must identify the secretion process itself. The identification process is not simple, especially when it comes to pee and this is because disposable diapers today do not get wet and can, as the advertisement says, soak and soak and soak .... That he does pee. The size of the bladder in babies and toddlers with a diaper is very small - whenever a little urine is stored it immediately drips out, they do not hold back at all. Therefore, even the sphincter muscle of the bladder does not go into action and as a result it is not strengthened. Therefore, the practical urination process in the diaper can be seen as the process of strengthening the annular muscle of the bladder, as a result of the fact that the child notices, notices, that urine has accumulated in the bladder, and that he must empty it proactively, in a distinct place. The detoxification process is a process of differentiation. In this sense, it is easier and clearer for the child to identify and discern the excretory process of poop.
In order to help the child identify and discern the secretion process, as a basis for diaper weaning maturity it is recommended to draw the child's attention to the process on different occasions:
1) In the bath after undressing, the child often pees - it is worth telling them and signaling that "he or she is peeing"
2) If the child is straining in a diaper and it is clear to us that he / she is now pooping - it is better to explain to him / her that he / she is pooping (and not to ask "Do you poop?" Because he / she can deny only because it is not really clear what he means)
3) If you go to the sea, or walk around the garden and the child walks around without a diaper - you should pay attention if they pee, and again, explain, "here's a pee"
4) It is recommended that a parent / grandfather of the same gender of the child, go to the bathroom with the child and explain to him that he pees, if possible. If there are big brothers - this of course can greatly help for demonstration and distinction
5) If there is an animal in the house, a dog or a cat - you can show him about them that they poop or pee.
