Potty Training the Clean Way
Make potty training easier -- and keep germs at bay -- with these quick toilet training tips for tots.
While your child is learning to stay dry at night, it's a good idea to keep a plastic sheet on the bed in case of bed-wetting says Duberg. "This helps to prevent urine staining the mattress, and again, although urine is sterile, it is a good culture medium for other bacteria."
The best way to keep your child and home clean while potty training, says Kintiroglou, is to model clean practices yourself. "Children are very observant of what we do," he says. "If they see you closing the lid when you flush, washing your hands, using good bathroom habits, they'll learn that this is part of the process."
