When should we stop using diapers for a baby? Nowadays, nappies or diapers worn by small children have become a convenience for many parents. With the help of these, parents take their children anywhere and do not have to worry about whether their clothes will get spoiled if the child pees or poops, or whether they will have to find a toilet to clean the child. Due to this, many parents keep making their children wear diapers till the age of 3-4 years or even more. But do you know till what age children should be made to wear diapers, and at what age they should stop wearing diapers?

The Indian Academy of Pediatrics' Guidelines for Dental Care Diapers and Clothing say that in many parts of the world, even in many places in India, toilet training is started from infancy without any pressure. Due to the method of making children pee and poop on time and repeated efforts, children here never wear diapers. This has a great benefit on the health of small children. They are saved from fungal infection and urinary tract infection. Along with this, it also saves the money spent on diapers every month.

However, many people advise that children should be taught about potty and pee at the age of 18 to 24 months. At this age, children start understanding well. This is the age when children remain dry for a long time at night and wet during the day. In such a situation, when your child becomes toilet-trained, you can stop making him wear diapers at night and encourage him to go to the toilet before sleeping at night and to go to the toilet after waking up in the morning.

At the same time, many people keep making children wear diapers till the age of about 3 years, and the children pee and poop in the same. Till this age, children are not able to tell about these things. After this, they stop making children wear diapers at the age of 3-4 years.

Guidelines say that it is possible that parents may get some benefits from this but it has many disadvantages. This habit of making children wear diapers should be stopped by this age.

In such a situation, according to the guidelines, it is better to give toilet training to the child from the beginning. Make them wear diapers only when needed. And even if you are making them wear diapers, stop wearing diapers by the age of 1.5 to 2 years.
