At what age can babies sleep without wearing diapers at night?
The age when a baby can stop wearing diaper at night should be determined based on the child's growth pattern. Generally, a baby can stop wearing diapers when they are two years old. When a child shows signs of reluctance to urinate in the diaper, the diaper is dry for several consecutive nights, and they mimic their parents using the toilet, it indicates that the baby can stop using diapers, and parents should carefully guide the baby to urinate and defecate independently.
The following signs indicate that it's time for the baby to stop wearing diapers:
1. The baby does not urinate in the diaper when they have the urge to urinate
When a baby reaches around two years old, they begin to develop self-awareness. When they have the urge to urinate, they don't want to urinate in the diaper but don't know how to express it. They may cry and inform their parents. In this situation, parents can first ask the baby if they want to urinate. If so, take the baby to the toilet. Afterward, parents can guide the baby to inform adults when they have the urge to urinate again and teach them how to use the toilet.
2. The baby's diaper is dry for several consecutive nights
When a baby is younger, they often wet their diaper every night, sometimes even causing it to bulge. However, if you suddenly notice that the baby's diaper is dry for several consecutive nights, without any traces of urine, this indicates that it's time to stop using diapers. During the day, parents can guide the baby to practice independent defecation, and at night, they can place a pad under them to avoid wetting the bed.
3. The baby often follows parents to the toilet and imitates them
After reaching a certain age, some babies will follow their parents into the toilet and imitate their actions. When this behavior appears, parents should not just find it amusing; instead, they should practice toilet training as soon as possible and teach the child to inform adults when they have the urge to defecate.
