After the baby reaches around one year old, they become aware of their own urination and defecation. However, sometimes due to unclear expression, they may pull themselves in their pants. In order to reduce such situations in the future, it is recommended that parents teach their babies how to urinate and defecate. So, let's learn how to teach babies to express their desire to defecate?
Before training, parents should first understand the specific time when their baby defecates every day, and then choose the appropriate defecation time based on their own situation, and consciously train. Parents should schedule regular bowel movements for their babies when it's time! It is best to schedule bowel movements in the morning, as this is beneficial for promoting healthy detoxification. Let the baby defecate in a fixed place, and many babies prefer to defecate in their own homes. Parents should remind the baby when it's time.
At the beginning, the child may resist. Parents should be patient and make a "hmm..." sound to signal the baby to defecate gradually. The training time should not be too long. If there is still no interest in defecating after a few minutes, parents should give encouragement after the baby defecates, such as "baby, great, so smart". Don't think that the baby is still young and doesn't understand. In fact, they can hear the praise of adults, and gradually they will actively cooperate.
Cultivating good bowel habits in babies is quite difficult and cannot be achieved overnight. As long as it is done day after day, it can gradually establish the child's conditioned reflex. Parents need to be patient, and gradually the baby's bowel movements will become regular.
