Potty training – even before the child has learned to walk. Parents should receive information about blöjavvänjning latest at tiomånaderskontrollen, according to new national guidelines for child care centers. The hope is to reduce risks for example infections.

Children using diapers ever further into old age, which among other things can lead to sensitive children have problems with urinary tract infections.

child care centers now have guidelines for which the council BVC nurses should give to parents of young children. The recommendations shows that parents should be encouraged to start potty training “happy before the child has begun to walk”. Information should be given on the BVC visit later at ten months of age, according to “National Handbook of Child Health” put forth by the country’s county councils and regions. Some similar recommendations have not been before.

– It is important to child health care gives advice consistent with proven experience, rather than going on opinions. Getting rid of the diaper is a milestone in the development of children. It’s amazing when the child discovers its own ability to control, says Helena Bergqvist, a psychologist at the University Children’s Hospital in Uppsala, who wrote the guidelines.

60 years ago was the majority of the children in West diapers at 1.5 years. Today it is common that children get out of diapers when they are three to four years. One of several reasons for this development is that the diapers has become much better. At the same time there is a growing trend where some parents throw the diaper during the children’s first months of life. One of them is Lisa Löfving in Stockholm together with his partner let his son Anton try the potty when he was three months.

– I read an article about baby spitting when I was pregnant. I thought it was interesting and reasonable test. The tips I got the discussion was to test the potty for food, for sleep and when you have been out and gone. We do not capture everything. He pees and poops in the diaper off and on, but I do not see it as no big deal, she says.

Instead of disposable diapers use the family cloth diapers. Today, Anton seven months and they see several advantages with early toilet training – not least economic and environmental benefits.

– Then you can think about how fun it actually is for an infant to walk around with pee and poo around the crotch all day? There has to be more comfortable and better for the skin to get rid of it. Baby Kitty Ning also increases the capacity for communication, says Lisa Löfving.

The new guidelines for child health clinics also stress that potty training should take place in a “positive and permissive atmosphere” and that parents themselves should decide time because it is “very important to be well-founded”.

An advice to parents is to let the child sit on the potty at the sign that the child wants to pee or poop – and be extra attentive example after awakening and meals.

A study at Sahlgrenska University Hospital have shown that early toilet training can make sensitive children do not get trouble with urinary tract infection.

– They compared Vietnamese and Swedish children and found that Vietnamese children become dry early. They had no residual urine in the bladder after 9 months of age group compared with Swedish children who emptied the bladder completely until the age of 36 months, says Helena Bergqvist.

The bladder does not empty properly can cause problems in the urinary tract, for example, infections.

DN’s round neck ten child care centers also show that constipation seems to have become an increasing problem in recent years. The development is likely to have multiple causes, but a likely connection may be the increasingly later diaper use, according to Lotta Lindfors, healthcare developers at the Child Health Unit of the South at the Stockholm County Council:

– The child clinics is common with older kids who are constipated. We feel that the diapers are so good that the kids do not have their own need to take them off. It is therefore important that parents begin to put the baby on the potty for short periods several times a day from ten to twelve months of age.
