After the birth of a newborn, because its body is still in the state of the mother's stomach, the transformation of its various body functions still needs a period of time. Many old people like to urinate for the newborn three days after the birth of the baby, so how about urinating for the baby?

Should I pee the baby

I. benefits of urinating for the baby

Although there is not much scientific research on urination, people who support urination for babies think:

1. Urine can improve parent-child relationship. Because in order to urinate for your baby, you should frequently observe the signs of defecation, which will make you more aware of his needs, so that you and your baby are more closely related. Moreover, some mothers urinate for their babies in the evening, and make them sleep in the same big bed with themselves.

2. Urinating will make the baby more comfortable. After baby pees wet or defecates dirty diaper, often can cry, even with diaper sometimes also can be like this. Moreover, without diapers, babies rarely develop diaper rashes.

3. Cultivate the baby's self-awareness. With the improvement of baby's big movement skills, when he can climb or walk, it's easier for you to encourage him to go to the urinal or 'use the big baby's toilet', instead of fighting with him for changing diapers several times a day.

4. Reduce the waste of resources. Around the world, 22 million tons of waste diapers are piled up in landfills every year. Reducing the use of traditional diapers is also good for the environment, as cleaning cotton diapers also requires energy. Reducing the use of diapers will not only protect the planet, but also save you money.

5. Urinating is a natural way. In China, there is a long history of urinating for babies. Babies don't wear diapers, and mothers can carry them to do all kinds of things. The baby's bare little butt doesn't stain the mother's clothes, because the mothers know how to predict the need of defecation. When you find that the baby sends a signal to excrete, you can make the baby face out and urinate for him. And you don't have to stare at the baby all day. After a period of practice, you will naturally know when the baby is going to defecate, just like you know he is hungry or sleepy.

2. The disadvantage of urinating for the baby

There are many experts who are opposed to urinating the baby too early, which is not easy for the new mom and Dad:

1. Waste time and energy on urine. People who support urination also think: you don't have to urinate for your baby 24 hours a day, you can urinate for him when he doesn't go out in the daytime, and use diapers for him at other times. However, it can be confusing for the baby. In fact, the more consistently you keep your baby urinating, the more likely you are to succeed. If you have been back to work and have a baby sitter at home, you have to persuade the baby sitter to keep urinating. So in any case, you have to spend a lot of time and energy on it.

2. The baby may not be ready. Child development experts say babies can't control their bladder and defecation mechanisms until they are 12 months old, and only have a little self-control before they are 18 months old. Although each baby is different, before the age of 18 months, most babies can't consciously go to the toilet on their own, or even tell you they need to defecate.

3. The baby may resist. The process of urinating for the baby will not be smooth. Some babies urinate in the past few weeks, but frequently in their pants after two weeks; some babies don't give you a signal before defecating; some babies resist urinating, or even don't defecate for a few days.

Urine is actually a kind of conditioned reflex, a bit like Pavlovian dogs in the experiment. When they hear the bell, they secrete saliva. If your baby doesn't get used to this kind of training, you may as well wait for him to decide when he is ready. Don't let your baby have a negative association with urination. Never force your baby to pee, or scold or punish him when he makes a mistake.

4. The baby may make mistakes. If you pee for your baby without a diaper, he may pee his pants often. Sometimes, the baby may not give you the signal to defecate, or you may not have time to receive urine for him. Although supporters of urinating insist that it's generally cleaner than diapers, you can always have your cleaning supplies and baby's laundry ready.
