What's wrong with a child who doesn't pee?

The issue of babies going to the toilet has become a matter of concern to parents. Some children often do not urinate, which is a very bad habit. As long as it is not due to pathological factors, parents should give their children corresponding training in time. Whether it is a boy or a girl, they should be trained to urinate and go to the toilet to increase the smoothness of the child's excretion system.

Toilet selection

For toilet training, it is best to choose a seat-type toilet that your baby likes. This helps stimulate your baby's interest in going to the toilet. When choosing a toilet, you should pay attention to the fact that it should be firm, comfortable, and of appropriate height, so that when the baby sits on it, both feet should touch the ground.

Boy babies: When your baby boy is just starting to learn to use the toilet, you don’t need to rush to buy a toilet. You can use a plastic bottle to do bowel training for your baby first. When he is a little older, you can choose a suitable toilet.

Baby girls: For baby girls, mothers can prepare a potty that is similar to a toy with bright colors or sounds, so that baby girls who have a special liking for colors will not resist this "colorful toy".

5 Signs of Potty TrainingGo Top

When can babies stop wearing diapers? This is the number one problem young parents encounter when they begin to potty train their baby. When exactly to start will depend on the circumstances. Here are 5 signs that your baby is ready to start using the potty:

Signal 1: The baby can feel that the diaper or diaper pants is wet after defecation, and expresses the feeling of discomfort through words or actions.

Signal 2: The baby can express the urge to defecate verbally or through actions.

Signal 3: The baby has bowel movements at a fixed time every day.

Signal 4: The baby shows interest in adults' toilet behavior and may even sit on the toilet for a while.

Signal 5: The baby can keep the diaper dry for more than two hours, and the diaper is not wet when waking up from sleep.

Toilet training for men and women Go Top

Once the baby has the concept of gender, the urination patterns of male and female babies will be very different. In childcare practice, it is found that boys in middle and senior classes sometimes peek at the sexual organs of girls, while some girls do not want to go to the toilet in front of boys, so they have to hold their urine. This will have adverse effects on the baby's physiology and psychology. Therefore, "toilet training" should also be different for boys and girls.

In terms of training, the father’s personal education is very helpful for baby boys to master the correct way of urination, while the mother should tell baby girls the simple way to deal with urination.

Baby boy

1. Teach him to sit first, then stand

Since urine and stool often come out together, your baby should initially be allowed to sit down for both bowel movements so that he or she learns that both should be done in the potty. This way, he won't be distracted by the fun of splashing around when he pee and will learn to focus on the basic routine when you need his attention.

2. Play the "firefighter" game with your son

For baby boys, imitation is important, so dads should teach them by example how to use the toilet. In view of the naughty personality of male babies, fathers should give accurate demonstrations and teach them how to "aim" at the potty. You can also put a piece of colored paper in the potty and let them aim at the paper when peeing. For a boy, sometimes peeing is like playing a game of "firefighter," which also increases his motivation to go to the toilet and get rid of diapers faster. Sometimes a boy may want to stand up to pee while he's having a bowel movement. This is because peeing is often accompanied by a bowel movement, so in this case it may be easier to get your baby to use the potty from the beginning.

Baby Girl

1. Imitation training for baby girls

Baby girls are mainly trained by their mothers and they prefer to use potties, especially those in the shape of cute animals. When training a baby girl to urinate, the mother should teach her the correct wiping direction, especially after defecation, she must wipe from front to back to prevent urinary tract infection.

2. Don’t wear clothes that are too complicated

An important thing to note when training a baby girl to urinate and defecate is to never dress her in clothes that are too complicated and difficult for her to get out of. Babies usually tell their mothers only when they can't hold it in any longer. They are already very nervous and find it difficult to control themselves. If they add unnecessary frustration such as not being able to unbutton their pants, then wetting their pants will definitely be a frequent occurrence.

Most babies complete daytime training at around 2 years and 4 months old, and nighttime training at around 3 years old, and boys spend more time on training than girls. Therefore, if you wait until your baby reaches the appropriate age for toilet training before starting training, your baby's toilet self-care ability will be more effective.
