Choosing a baby pot for your growing daughter or son is actually not such a simple matter. The success of accustoming the baby to the toilet depends on how well you cope with this task. How convenient, easy to use, hygienic will it be? Will the child like it or not? All these questions will have to be answered.
All parents want to buy their best all the best, fashionable, beautiful. But it is better to give preference to a more convenient and practical model, rather than the most beautiful one with a large number of different "special effects."
For example, a children's music pot will begin to publish a melody when the baby has done his work. Of course, the son or daughter will enjoy the music very much, and you will definitely know when everything is ready. But there is a possibility that this melody may develop a reflex. Hearing a familiar tune, he decides it's time to go to the toilet. Therefore, this option can not be considered the most optimal.
A good option would be a children's pot in the form of some kind of toy. Such a model will attract the attention of a child, help to quickly learn how to use it for its intended purpose. But for permanent use, it is also not suitable, as it will provoke the baby to sit longer than it really needs. And this is harmful to the health of the child. For the same reason, you should not give toys and books that will distract the child from the main lesson while being accustomed to the toilet.
When the baby is four years old, you can begin to think about purchasing a special toilet seat. At the same time, do not forget to buy a low chair or footrest.
Selection recommendations
Remember that the baby pot must correspond to the size and anatomical features of the crumbs. It’s best to even take your son to the store to be able to “try on” the purchase. The model for the boy should have an elongated shape and a special protrusion in the front. For girls, a round model is suitable.
The best material is plastic. It is light, not cold, just wash it. Color does not matter. The main thing is that the child is to his taste. Make sure it is sustainable. An expanding base must be provided for this.
It is very important that it is always clean. There are models equipped with a special handle that allows you to pour the contents. It is unacceptable that on the surface there should be any damage, cracks that can harm delicate baby skin.
Types of pots
The potty chair is a regular children's chair with a hole in the seat. The pot itself is inserted there directly.
Camping baby pot can come in handy on a trip, on a walk. The plastic case is easy to fold out, a special disposable liner is fixed on it, which, after use, is hermetically closed and thrown out. But do not forget to practice at home so that this item is already familiar to your son or daughter.
The toilet seat is either placed on the toilet itself and pressed against a normal seat, or it can be installed directly on the adult seat. The second option is much more convenient, more hygienic. The seat for the baby should be firmly fixed and completely exclude any contact with the toilet. In the shops you can find a folding seat, which will be indispensable on the road or in travel. When folded, it takes up very little space.
Transformer pots “grow up” with your baby and allow you to gradually replace a children's pot with an adult toilet. This model will save you from unnecessary spending.
Now you know all the secrets of choosing the perfect pot for your beloved baby. May your child grow healthy and happy!
