Giving up nappies and potty training
Children learn to be dry at different paces, most often between the ages of 2 and 4. Recognising the signs of readiness and a calm approach make learning easier.
You will need
- A potty or a toilet seat reducer and a step stool
- Plenty of spare pants
- Detergent and a disposable mattress protector
- A few calm weeks without big changes
Steps

Your child may be ready when their nappy stays dry for a couple of hours, they tell you when they are weeing or pooing and they become interested in the toilet.
Choose the timing
Get to know the potty
Introduce routines
Move on to pants
Stay calm about accidents
Praise the effort
Agree with the daycare centre
Be patient about night-time dryness
