Please how can I stop my baby of 1 year and 7 months old from wearing pampers?
Potty training starts usually at 18 months .. Though you can start making him sit on the potty. There are things that show that a child is ready to be potty trained.... Most of these are rarely achieved before age 18 months
How do I know my child is ready to begin
toilet training?
It depends on several factors, including your child’s
age, awareness of toileting-related issues, physical
readiness, and communication skills. Beginning
toilet training too soon will make the process more
frustrating for both you and your child

Look for some
of following signs of readiness:
• Notices when diaper or clothing is wet or soiled.
• Shows interest in self-care (e.g., dressing,
hand-washing, toileting).
• Shows interest in other’s toileting behavior.
• Completely empties bladder when voiding and
stays dry about 2 hours at a time.
• Has bowel movements that follow a regular and
predictable pattern.
• Is able to walk to and from bathroom independently.
• Has the balance to sit on toilet 2 – 5 minutes.
• Follows a few simple directions (e.g., sit down).
. indicates need to go to bathroom through facial
expressions, postures, gestures, pictures, or words.

Is there an app that tells me how long my baby cried throughout the day? Any app? Curious!I am a new mum curious about why my baby cries especially at the oddest times. Is there an app that can help me know the time and...
Yes. I actually started using my Baby Cry tracker app. I got early access through a friend. It's currently invite-only.
It gives me daily reports showing trends of how much my baby cried, and what at the time of the day she cries most of the time, and I also get to see week-to-week comparisons as my baby grows.

You can request invites here bit.ly/BabyCryTracker

I've been seeing an orange stain on my baby diaper should i be worried?
The staining of the diaper depends on how soon after the baby passes the urine you look.....most urine change colour after sometime". You may have to see a paediatrician to confirm if the stain is something to be worried about.

Yes, it can be applied on other parts of the body but be sure it's prescribed by a dermatologist. It's important to note that the type of skin conditions determines treatment.

Pls when do I stop ma baby from wearing diaper?
It depends. Sometimes it's hard to predict exactly when that will happen. This is because potty training is only successful when your child is physically and emotionally ready to leave diapers behind. Some kids are ready to start at as young as 18 months old, while others aren't ready until they're 3 or 4 years
