Bladder Control

When does the development of bladder control occur

The development of bladder control occurs when your child's bladder can hold more than a few ounces of urine without spontaneously emptying itself. The first sign of bladder control is when your baby's diaper remains dry after a reasonable amount of time has elapsed. Your child will soon be able to go through her nap with a dry diaper. Once she is capable of warning you that she wants to go to the potty, you can stop making her wear diapers completely. Be prepared for accidents and do not scold her when they happen. It is not her fault.

When do I know she is completely toilet trained

It is more difficult for a child to control her bladder than her bowels. Signs of an imminent bowel movement are also easier for parents to spot than signs of urination. Once the child has control over her bladder, she is reaching the point of being completely toilet trained. A two and a half year old child often finds it difficult to hold urine for more than four to five hours. Getting through the night with a dry diaper is the ultimate step in bladder control and toilet training.
