As your little one grows beyond the need for nappies, you'll begin training
them on potty and toilet use. We sat down with our friends at Huggies to get their advice on how
best to start your child down the path of becoming one of the big kids…
Knowing when the time is right
Every child is different,so there’s really no ideal time to begin. The
majority of children are ready sometime between 18 months and three years old.
Some children will take months to toilet train, and others can go sailing right
through.
The key to successful toilet training is timing. The more ready your child is
the smoother the process will be. You know your child best but if your toddler
shows at least two or three of the following signs on the next page,
it’s probably time to start toilet training.

1. Grobag
Sleeping Bag
Babies often wake from the cold, particularly once they are active enough to
kick off blankets. The temperature between 3–5 am is significantly cooler than
when you put your baby to bed.
If your baby is waking around 3–5am and can self settle at bedtime, then
cold is highly likely to be the reason. Plus it is a very simple problem to
resolve, so you can then see if there is any other cause for waking in
the night.

Ewan
the dream sheep could help restless babies settle quickly and sleep
soundly!
Ewan
replicates the soothing sounds of a pregnant mum's womb and heartbeat. The
sounds have been combined with household, musical and natural sounds at low bass
frequencies of 125hz to produce ‘pink noise.’ This is the type of noise that
babies predominantly hear when in the womb, which is why he is so effective.
Ewan also emits a soothing pink glow – research has shown that babies are
comforted by certain aspects of the womb, so a pink ambient glow is the natural
choice for Ewan's tummy.
Winner of countless Baby Product & Gift Awards in the UK, Ewan is now
available in Mighty
Ape baby
