Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy2 years agoA. there is no problem in making the child wear diaper throughout the day but the important thing would be that it should not cause skin allergy as well as you have to change it frequently before urine accumulation causes perianal rash.
that means diaper has to be changed according to the urinary frequency of the child
you can apply coconut oil before making the child wear diaper which will help in decreasing the chances of rash .
potty training and toilet training should be initiated as soon as the child completes one and half years of age. avoid before that except if you feel that the child is giving cues when he or she wants to pass stool.
also good demonstration has to be given again and again to the child to reinforce the habit.
make the child sit on potty seat daily so that the child gets accustomed and not fearful of the seat and situationw
kindly go through various articles on potty training on firstcry.

please be patient as after starting training it may take 6 months also for the child to learn.
