Most kids are potty trained at the age of 2 or a little later. Although this is the most common way to potty train a child, there is another option available. Baby potty training, although it may be harder to implement for some families, has its own benefits. This article will discuss 5 reasons to try potty training your baby early. 1. Improves Baby-Bonding: Supporters of this method believe that infant potty training can bring you and your baby closer, though there has been no scientific study on the matter. A kind of communication is formed between the two of you that isn’t usually there since it is necessary to be so closely tuned into your babies needs and signals. 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. Normal and Natural: In Africa and Asia, mothers will carry their un-diapered infants around. They have become in tune to their babies needs and signals and anticipate when their babies need to go. By holding them away from their bodies when they are aware that their child needs to relieve themselves they avoid being soiled. This technique won’t work quite as well for modern families, but the same principles apply for reading the signs of your baby and knowing when they need to go. 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. This method is not a well documented one and is greatly debated, however if you are considering giving it a try you probably have more questions… Want to learn more?
