The heat comes and with it a purpose of many parents (not many children) and that is none other than that of "the diaper operation." It seems that summer is the ideal time to enter that great "challenge" that is that our boy or girl finally stops using the diaper. But, in that process, which can be more or less long, there is always something that is going to be repeated: the pee leaks.
Pee leaks during diaper operation They are totally normal and very frequent. All his life the boy has gone with a diaper and has had no problem peeing (and pooping) on top. By simple custom, the child will urinate on him more than once, even when it seemed that he had "begun to control."
What happens many times is not that the child makes a setback, but it is the parents who often relax and we are not so aware of, for example, asking them so often if they feel like peeing or not sitting in the toilet or the potty as usual as at the beginning.
These occasional "accidents" may also be due to other causes: if the child's routine is disturbed (for example, with a trip, a day away from home ...), if there are important changes in his life (the arrival of a brother, start the school ...), if you are so entertained that you wait until the last moment and don't have time to get to the bathroom ... In the less frequent cases there is some physiological reason. What advice can we give parents in front of pee leaks?

It is best to prevent these small accidents. Ask your child regularly if he wants to pee and have a bath or potty on hand.
Put on clothes that are easily removed so that you can sit down to do your needs quickly, without complications or wasting too much time.
If there has already been "surprise", it is best to change quickly so that you do not feel uncomfortable or give rise to skin problems due to moisture and contact with urine or feces. Talk to him about how well it is clean and dry.
Don't get mad at your child or fight him. We must encourage them that nothing happens and I'm sure that the next time they will do it in the bathroom.
If time goes on and the leaks are not reduced in frequency, it is that your son is not ready to leave the diaper. Each child has a rhythm and some cost them more than others, sphincter control does not come when we say parents, pediatricians or teachers ... but when the child has reached maturation, something that happens in a few children two years and in the majority at three or up to four years.
In Babies and more The best time to leave the diaper is not always when the pediatrician says it, neither the neighbor nor the teacherIf you are concerned about the fact that your child is unable to control the sphincters or has begun to do so after a period of control, it should be asked what might be due (have there been major changes in our lives?) And go to the pediatrician so that Rate the case.
In the case of pee at night, we have to be much more patient. We do not have to worry or pressure our children, since it is not considered that there is nocturnal enuresis (persistence of uncontrolled urination beyond the age at which bladder control is reached) until around five to six years. If during the day it has been difficult to control the pee ... what will be at night, when they are sleeping?
