Are babies diapers , that absorb liquids, making mums and dads , start Potty Training babies later ?

Question

As Jason C says below....in the old days , when there was only Terry Towel Nappies....and all that washing....the incentive , to get babies potty-trained, was to get rid of the washing chore !

My very bright , intelligent Grand Daughter , is 2 years and 3 months old....and still in diapers....which I am told is "normal"! I'm sure I remember my own kids , being Potty-trained, well before that and asap !

Answer 1

Defiantly, when my girls when little we lived in South Africa and baby diapers were made from towel. As a result of having to wash them we very quickly potty trained them both.

Answer 2

I've known parents who were anxious to get their kids potty trained, since diapers are costly...... so not always. And if you've got a kid in diapers- you have to clean their dirty butts- which is more work than potty training, so the lazy claim is not too valid.

Answer 3

I started potty training my daughter at about 12 months, that was when she met my personal training requirements, she could walk and she could say gotta go. Btw I hated those super absorbant diapers, and used them merely for the time saving convience.

Answer 4

Yes,its the lazy mans way..

Answer 5

I would say so..Good call.
