How old can a diaper be for a baby? Not 2 years old!

As a "good partner" that babies can't live without from birth, diapers accompany babies at every stage of their growth.

How old can the diapers be for the baby? When should I take off the diaper? Many mothers are still ignorant about this issue.

According to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), most children develop spontaneous bowel movements between 18 and 24 months.

Therefore, many mothers will try to let the baby gradually wean off diapers when the baby is about 2 years old.

But this does not mean that diapers can only be worn until the age of 2. Whether the child can get rid of diapers depends on his performance. When the child has these signals, toilet training can be put on the agenda:

· Can understand instructions;

· Diapers stay dry for more than 2 hours;

· Regular bowel movements;

· I like the feeling of dry buttocks, and will actively express discomfort when the diapers are wet;

· Willing to imitate adults to go to the toilet;

· Able to sit on a small toilet by himself;

· Ability to lift and take off pants by himself.

So, taking off diapers is not something that can be done overnight. There is no clear time point, and each baby's performance is different. We need to "go with the flow".

Even if the baby is 2 years old and is not ready to take off the diaper, you can continue to wear it. It is only a matter of time before leaving the diaper. Don't be anxious and don't be impatient~
