A lot of kids are potty trained around the age of 2 or later. Another option available is baby potty training which has its own benefits even though it might be harder for some people to implement. This article will discuss 5 reasons to give early potty training a try.
1. Encourages Baby-Bonding: Even without scientific study on the matter, supporters of this method are claiming that infant potty training has the potential to bring you closer to your baby. Since it is necessary to be very in tune to your baby's needs and signals, it creates a kind of communication between you and your baby that wouldn't normally be there.
2. More Comfort: Diaper rash is believed to cause an increase in crying and fussing. Since less diapers are used with this technique, your child will experience less troublesome rashes that can occur while wearing diapers.
3. Develops Independence: Diaperless babies are encouraged to crawl to a potty at an early age, which gives them a sense of independence that diapered babies do not experience. Instead the diapered babies are very dependent upon the parent to change their diaper over and over again.
4. Less Diaper Waste: The number of diapers used around the world has created significant waste in our landfills. Cloth diaper usage can be one solution, yet it has its own negative effects on the environment as considerable energy is used to launder them. Baby potty training can help in these areas as well as being friendlier on your budget.
5. Completely Natural: Mothers in Africa and Asia often carry their un-diapered infants around. They are able to do this without being soiled because they have become accustomed to reading the signs of their babies. While the technique of holding your baby away from you before being soiled won't work for most modern families, the same principles of reading your child's signs apply.
This article looked at 5 reasons to potty train your baby early. Not using diapers can encourage baby bonding, be more comfortable to the child, increase their independence and reduce diaper waste all at the same time and has been considered more natural.
