Babies and childs
The little ones grow up and their rest changes
Your baby has become a big boy
The time to sleep is usually the last step to forget about the diaper definitively since, being asleep, they do not notice so easily when they have to relieve themselves and an accident is more likely to occur. Therefore, the choice of bedding in this phase is essential.
Probably the bottom sheet and/or mattress protector get wet frequently, so you need products that are easy to put on, that are waterproof to adequately protect the mattress and isolate it from liquids, and that also resist washing well without deteriorating.
Keep in mind that not all waterproof products are the same. Depending on the type of sheet or membrane that they incorporate, it can be noisy, rough to the touch and not very breathable, which will cause the little one to sweat at night and wake up more frequently.
Children do not usually like to wake up wet, as they feel like a failure. For this reason, it is important to choose the right products that can accompany you in this stage of change.
Going from wearing diapers to wearing underwear as an adult is a very important change process for our children that requires time and patience.

VELFONT TIPS
Goodbye nappies!
How do you know when he is ready to remove the nappy?
- He begins to identify when he feels like it and even wakes up dry.
- He is able to sit on the toilet for a few minutes.
- You notice that the diaper is starting to bother him and he tries to take it off.
- Try not to coincide with another major change. Summer is usually the best time.
Velfont BREATHABLE terry mattress protector
It is the most recommended protector for this stage. Made with a maximum absorption 100% cotton terry cloth designed to absorb the liquid and retain it where it has leaked, preventing the liquid from moving and wetting the entire surface of the mattress.
Its waterproof and breathable sheet prevents liquid from penetrating the mattress, but allows the skin to breathe, reducing sweat and the sensation of heat.
RESPIRA waterproof and breathable Velfont sheet
Another good option to protect the mattress. Made with a 100% organic combed cotton knit fabric, it allows you to sleep directly on the garment. The waterproof and breathable sheet that it incorporates prevents liquids from passing into the mattress, allowing the skin to breathe freely, reducing sweat and the sensation of heat.
*A very practical trick is to use two superimposed waterproof sheets when making the bed. If an accident occurs during the night, you can remove the first wet garment and you will find the second dry one to continue resting and with the mattress protected.
In general, children are usually ready to stop using diapers between two and three years of age, although each baby is different. It is an important process of change that usually occurs with the entry into the infant stage of school, so we must accompany them, understand the times of our child and do it when they feel ready.
This process can take months and still leak once completed. For this reason, at home you have to arm yourself with patience and take it as a new learning for your little one. Here are our tips to make diaper removal definitely easier:
Explain it to him/her
Tell him you’re going potty training in a way he can understand. In addition, you can let him accompany you to the bathroom so that he can see how it is done and imitate you.
Establish a routine
As much as possible, sit him in the bathroom or on the potty at the same times every day. Ideally when getting up, after eating, before going to sleep, etc. This will make it easier for you to create a routine.
Start by taking it off during the day
It is important to start during the day because that is the time when you can be warned. However, taking it off at night will likely cost you more time. But yes, do not put the diaper on him at times, he can get into a mess and not understand what he has to do.
Explore different techniques
No one knows your little one better than you, so if you’ve been in this process for a while and they don’t assimilate it, consider using a different technique. Maybe it’s just early days and you need a little more time to get ready.
