Potty training is essential when your baby comes of age. It takes a lot of time and requires patience, so you need to be prepared. These tips will help smoothen the process when you’re on the road:
Plan ahead
Always bring extra diapers and schedule bathroom breaks often to prevent accidents. You can use an alarm clock to help you remember to take them on a bathroom break. This can be exhausting, but it will be worth it in the long term.
Give them time
It is more difficult to potty train while you are on the road. This is because public toilets don’t make it easier. It is better for the baby to use a diaper until you reach your destination.
Make it interesting
Using public restrooms can be scary for kids, but you can ease their fears by staying with them through the whole process. You can sing, hold the child’s hand and even promise the infant a small reward after everything.
Be flexible
Always be ready to change your processes when they fail. Kids react differently to potty training so find a strategy that works and stick to it.
Be ready for accidents
No matter how meticulous you are during this process, there must be accidents. So plan for days like this. Bring extra diapers, a change of clothes, as well as a portable toilet seat. Sometimes, you may not need these items, but it is safer to have it handy.
