How old should babies abandon diaper?

diapers for babies

Scientific research shows that the excretion control muscles of kids generally reach maturity between 12 and 24 months, with an average age of 18 months. Therefore, at different growth stages of the baby, different corresponding measures should be taken!

0-18 months:
Use diapers as many as possible, so that babies can urinate as they want and let the baby get enough sleep.

18-36months:
During this period baby’s gastrointestinal and bladder functions are slowly developing and maturing. Mothers can try to quit diapers for babies gradually in the day time and train them to use toilet bowl and closestool. At night could still use nappies or pull up diapers.

After 36months:
Can try to stop using diapers and let babies develop a good habit of urinating and defecating on their own. Only when babies are able to clearly express their need to go to the toilet, keep the diaper dry more than 2 hours and learn to put on and take off the pants by theirselves, then can say goodbye to diaper completely!
In addition, considering every baby’s physical and psychological conditions are different, the timing for them to quit diapers naturally also varies from person to person, and it still depends on the actual situation and treatment.

Never covet a momentary convenience, let baby wear diapers until he is very old and will not excrete on his own; and don’t oppress the child’s nature to save money by urinating or wearing open-crotch pants.
