¿Cómo puedo saber si su hijo está listo para dejar el pañal?

No hay una edad donde podamos decir que están preparados los niños para dejar de usar pañales, todos los niños son únicos, el desarrollo de cada niño no es el mismo la mayoría de ellos habrán desarrollado las habilidades físicas y cognitivas necesarias entre los 18 y los 24 meses.

Muchos padres deciden esperar hasta los dos años y medio cuando se puede confiar más en el control de la vejiga y también hay niños que no están listos hasta que tienen casi 3 años, o incluso 4.

Para ayudarte a determinar si ha llegado el momento, hemos elaborado una lista de las principales señales que indican que tu pequeño está listo. Recuerda que, si empiezas antes de que tu niño esté en realidad preparado, seguramente el proceso será más largo.

Antes de los 12 meses de edad, los niños no pueden controlar el pipí y popó, y muchos niños pequeños que muestran señales de que físicamente están listos para ir al baño solitos, no pueden controlarlo en realidad.

Incluso a los niños que pueden mantenerse secos en el día, les puede tomar más tiempo despertar para hacer pipí por las noches y muchos dejan de tener accidentes nocturnos hasta la edad de 5 años.

If your child attends child care, it is important to have an effective relationship with your child care provider so together you can work through this process, which will help a lot.
