Planting a child over a pot or basin from the first months of life is a method for training a baby to hygiene, understanding and controlling one's body. Also this is a wonderful occasion for mom and baby to learn to feel each other better.
This technique came to us from Africa and South America. It has been practiced there from time immemorial, to this day. For the inhabitants of these countries, planting is a natural habitual process, an integral part of the care and upbringing of the child.
When can I land a child?
It is advisable to start the planting from the very birth of the baby. The earlier you start, the faster you will understand the signals of your child. And he, accordingly, will soon feel his desires.
How to properly plant a child?
Planting, until the child can sit alone (6-7 months), has nothing to do with the pot. The planting position should be as comfortable as possible for the mother and child. The most correct position:
- In the sitting position, take the child and hold it with one hand parallel to the body of the baby (if the supporting right hand, then pressing to yourself, take the right leg of the child and pull the knee to the tummy).
- On the left hand brush put the left leg, also bent in the knee.
- With your left hand, lightly pat the baby's genitals and say "pss, pss" or "ah, ah."
- Before planting is best to give the baby a breast or other liquid (if the child is on artificial feeding).
- Do not forget to put the basin under your feet, that's where the emptying should take place.
- If you have a son, you can manually adjust the direction of the jet.
Peculiarities of planting
In the first months of life, the baby experiences some discomfort during emptying and behaves restlessly before the start of the process. Your task is to attach it to your chest and plant it, every time it hurts. A little later you will understand how the young man behaves before defecation or urination.
Early planting promotes hardening of the body, tk. Several times a day, the child is exposed to the lower part of the trunk.
When to put the baby on the pot?
On the pot, the child can be planted no earlier than 6-7 months, until he is physically ready for this. It is permissible to plant a potty when you can dexterously cope with this process. But one should not connect the planting method too early with the early independent use of the pot by the toddler. Most likely, consciously going to the toilet without your help, he can not earlier than a year and a half. And only by the age of two years this will not cause problems to you or him.
