Potty Training..When to start??

Hari ni aku nak berbicara tentang potty training. Sebabnya anak dara aku dah nak masuk 19 months 15hb Julai ni. So aku berhasrat untuk memulakan latihan menggunakan tandas bagi tujuan menjimatkan pampers.hehehheh Pastu boleh la plan untuk 2nd baby plak. 

Dari hasil google aku potty train dah boleh start seawal 18 bulan iaitu bersamaan dengan usia setahun setengah. Berikut adalah checklist bahawa tanda anak dah bersedia untuk di potty train. Ni yang aku dapat dari babycenter.com. Kalau dari web tu ada perbezaan kalau nak kenal persediaan antara baby boy & baby girl;-

Your child may be ready to start potty training if she:

• Has regular, soft, formed bowel movements - Nuwaila dah pass ni

• Can pull her pants up and down - Nuwaila baru nak belajar

 
• Imitates others' bathroom habits (likes to watch you go to the bathroom, wants to wear underwear, and so on) - Nuwaila sangat tak suka nak pakai pampers or sepender. asyik kena main kejar2 jek.

• Makes a physical demonstration when she's having a bowel movement (such as grunting, squatting or telling you) - Bab ni Nuwaila dah pass. Kalau dah wee-wee dia suka buat muka cute sambil mencangkung sambil tarik2 pampers dia suh kita ganti lain. Tapi dia selalu cakap dia poo walaupun cuma wee-wee.

• Has words for stool and urine - Nuwaila belum reti sebut betul lagik. Tapi kalau kita tanya dia angguk2 kan kepala sambil senyum.

• Can follow simple instructions (such as "Give me the toy.") - Nuwaila dah terlebey pandai bab ni. kadang-kadang advanced sudah..

• Understands the physical signals that mean she has to go and can tell you before it happens - Nuwaila tak pass lagik nih

• Dislikes the feeling of being in a dirty nappy - sekarang ni baru sekali kencing pun dah suruh tukar pampers. kalo tengah ngantuk sangat tu, berak pun sanggup tido jugak.

• Has "dry" periods of at least three or four hours (this shows her bladder muscles are developed enough to hold her urine in and store it) -Pass

• Isn't negative about everything -Pass

• Understands the value of putting things where they belong -Baru separuh markah

• Demonstrates a desire for independence -Pass

• Can walk and sit down -Pass

Kesimpulannya, boleh tangguh lagi atau boleh mulakan kelas??? tapi kalau nak bagi dia fun with the potty pun okay gak kan?? Yerlah bagi exposure so that when she is ready, dia dah boleh guna potty itu. 

Tapi nak guna potty yang macam mana ek??yang ada music??yang ada gambar katun??or yang simple jek???

Ikut bacaan dari babycenter.com, anak pompuan lagi cepat pickup dari baby boy. Entahlah..my first time experience nih. So harap2 nuwaila membantu dalam proses nih.
