and her cousin took her son to register in kindergarten. She mainly wanted me to see the environment of the kindergarten. After all, the kindergarten where her son went was very expensive.
We kept talking about kindergarten on the way back. She asked me a lot about what preparations my children should make for kindergarten, and I also told her what I knew.
At this time, I passed by a maternal and child store. I asked my cousin if the underwear prepared for the baby was enough. My cousin was still confused when she heard it, and asked me why I should prepare small underwear?
I also looked at her with a puzzled face: "Is your son still not wearing underwear when he is three years old?" She answered me simply " no".
Talking about wearing underwear for babies, it just so happens that there are several babies in the mother group who will start kindergarten in September. They are also asking whether they should wear underwear for their babies, and the final answer they got is "yes".
Why should we prepare underwear for babies in kindergarten classes?
Not long after my daughter’s small class started, the teacher suggested in the WeChat group that some parents should guide their children to stop using diapers. In a class of 30 people, five children had to use diapers during naps. In addition to increasing the teacher’s workload, The amount has also had a bad impact on the children.
Help me put on my clothes before going to bed and help me undress them when I wake up. The classmates who don’t use diapers next to me find this scene funny. They either stare at them or laugh at them.
As for those children who don’t use diapers and have adapted to wearing underwear early on, because they don’t have this problem, they consciously go to the toilet when they wake up and follow the teacher’s instructions.
However, diapers are still worn in kindergarten classes, and the proportion of boys is higher than that of girls.
Because:
Mothers who have female babies have put on underwear for their babies very early, but male babies are not as particular as female babies. Many elderly people like to wear crotchless pants for male babies. They think it is convenient to go to the toilet. So much so that the child is already in kindergarten and has not yet realized that he should wear underwear.
In addition, some boys did not wear underwear before they were 3 years old. Some boys have no habit of wearing underwear when they arrive at kindergarten. Even if they are provided with underwear, they are not used to wearing underwear after peeing. Then they sit on a small stool and do various things. It was uncomfortable and affected the teacher's class.
In fact, putting on underwear for your baby at the right age can not only keep the abdomen warm, but also protect the private parts from being invaded by bacteria.
What are the benefits of wearing underwear for babies?
. Help children establish a sense of privacy
When children wear underwear for the first time, they don’t like it and even ask why they are wearing underwear. At this time, mothers need to teach their children a lesson and tell them that wearing underwear is In order to protect the private part, this part is the baby's little secret. No one can see it except mom and dad.
. Avoid children’s bad living habits. Pay attention to hygieneSummer is hot, and many boys wear crotchless pants and sit on the floor to play, but they are also very curious. If they see their private parts, they will inevitably play with them, which is more common than parents. If not discovered in time, children will easily develop bad living habits.
If you don’t put on underwear for your children, when they play in kindergarten, they will easily feel uncomfortable due to the friction of their pants, and some may even cause skin abrasions.
Sometimes you wet your pants. If you don’t change clean pants in time, you will be easily invaded by bacteria. But if you have the protection of underwear, since the underwear is pure cotton and breathable, the child will be embarrassed to wet his pants and it will not be too stuffy.
Therefore, whether it is a boy or a girl, mothers should prepare a few pairs of underwear for their babies when they enter kindergarten in September.
Having said that, if you want such a young baby to get used to wearing small underwear, you can put them on the baby when he starts toilet training.
As for when to start toilet training , it usually starts after 18 months, and you can basically become familiar with it by the age of 2.
The American Academy of Pediatrics reminds that to successfully complete toilet training, the baby must first be able to distinguish the feeling of needing to pee, and understand the meaning of peeing and having a smelly bowel movement. When babies are 18-24 months old, their digestive systems and bladders are basically mature and they can control bowel movements well.
How to choose children’s underwear?
① Underpants are mainly divided into triangles and four corners. Generally speaking, children in kindergarten classes are more suitable to wear four-corner underwear, because the area covered by boxer briefs is large, and girls are not easily exposed when wearing skirts.
My daughter has been wearing four-corner ones since she was a child. I changed them to triangular ones. She said she stopped wearing them because she was not used to them because the triangular ones would pinch her butt, but the four-cornered ones would not.
For fatter children, they may prefer the triangular ones, because they wrap less parts, do not strangle the thighs, and do not feel constrained.
② Underwear for children should be pure cotton, and the style should be as simple as possible, because children’s skin is delicate and some decorations can easily scratch the child.
In addition, each child’s body shape is different, so mothers must compare more and read more reviews before making a purchase to avoid not being able to wear them after buying them.
Finally
Kindergarten children must have 2 sets of clothes from the inside out in their schoolbags. On the one hand, they sweat more and on the other hand they pee their pants more often.
