It's Been One and A Half Year and It's (more serious) Potty Training Time

Today is the eighteenth months of my youngest son and I think it's the right time to teach him harder about potty training. It's not that I did not train him previously. He hesitated to sit on the old potty which was used by his daughter (twelve years old now, but I think the potty still deserves to be used.

I might need to have better potty to make him sit and enjoy this 'regular activities' as I don't think I am strong enough to lift him every time he needs to pup.

As a mother of three, I have been experiencing many problems related with baby, including the choices of nappies. There are hundreds brands of nappy available worldwide, and they are all available on various styles, sizes, quality and prices. As usual, price always comes up with quality and it can be said that a good price nappy has good quality of absorbing baby’s urine.

However, not any nappy can bring comfortable feeling to your baby. The most comfortable nappy for your baby is the one that will not leak when your baby is at very active—which starts from the fifth month. A nappy will not leak when it fits to your baby’s bottom. Choose nappy which can fit on active baby, yet stretchy on both sides for making him comfortable during playtime or sleeping time.

For the best comfortable feeling, choose a nappy which feature soft texture so that it is breathable for avoiding nappy rash which commonly takes place. There are some high quality brands offering thin shape of nappy which will not change in shape when it is full. So, when choosing the best baby nappy, spend time for reading every description on the product that features guidelines representing certain weight for certain size. 

So, you know how to deal with your baby nappy and how to choose the best one for your little angel. Keep in mind that no matter how good the quality of the nappy, you should remain changing your baby’s nappy when it is full. Most nappy has indicator for it.

Locking all the doors is the main prevention of problems will include the ability of the baby to walk outside.

A baby can suffocate to death unless you make sure it falls asleep on it’s back. The crib should also have bars that are close enough, so the baby can’t slip through and get stuck.

The best thing for you when your baby starts crawling is to get a walker to let it learn how to walk. Have yourself a child gate to be placed on steps in your home. This will prevent your child from falling down the steps. Such kind of gate can also be used in doorways to rooms that you don’t want the child enter without your notice.
