Potty Training

The Do's and Don'ts of how to effectively handle toilet training for your child

Updated on 27 January 2023

Do's and Don'ts when Potty Training Your Child

There is no definite time to start potty training. But you need to look out for the following signs which indicate that your little one is ready.

Physical signs: The first thing you want to check is whether your baby can walk or not. You may also want to wait and see if he/ she has a well-formed bowel movement at a particular time.

Observation: Wait and watch, if your baby can quietly sit at one place for a time period of over five minutes. When a child starts to dislike the feeling of a wet diaper or shows signs of bowel movement, it is a good indicator to start with potty training.

Other signs: Important behavioural signs include being cooperative, demonstrating the ability to sit at a place and desire for independence.
