The DotPot is a 3-in-1 product that supports all fases of potty training.
The 3 steps of DotPot.
DotBabyIn the first place, the Dot Pot is a potty that can be used to give toddlers their first toilet training. The middle has an inner potty that can be removed easily for cleaning. The handle makes toddlers feel more secure because it acts as a backrest, as well as making the potty very easy to carry.
DotBabyIn the next stage, the Dot Pot becomes a toilet trainer that is kept in place by a special non-slip system. When the child is ready, the seat, that it has become completely accustomed to, can be placed on the ‘big toilet’. This is both safer and more comfortable for the toddler! Nothing is as bothersome and frustrating as feeling as though you are falling into the toilet…
DotBabyThirdly, the Dot Pot can be transformed into a step. This makes using the ‘big toilet’ much easier, but it also makes doing other things in the bathroom much easier as well. Children of up to 40 kg can use it to reach the washbasin, to wash their hands or brush their teeth, for example. Of course it can also be used as a step outside the bathroom as well. When it no longer serves this purpose, the Dot Pot can be used as a pretty storage basket.
Toilet training. Your ankle-biter has to start one day too. It is often a milestone in your child’s development, something both of you can be proud of.
Are you looking for a potty with potential? Then take a look at our Dot Pot! This potty is not only cheerful in appearance and well designed, it is also easy to use, environmentally friendly and combines three different functions.
* DotBabyThe Dot Pot is, first and foremost, a potty on which your toddler embarks on his or her toilet training. In the middle is an inner potty that is both simple to remove and quick to clean. The handle makes the toddler feel safer because it also acts as a backrest and, in addition, makes it easy to take the potty with you wherever you go.
* DotBabyIn the second stage the Dot Pot becomes a trainer seat that is held in place on the toilet by a special non-slip system. When your child is ready, the potty seat with which he or she is familiar can be placed on the ‘big toilet’ and used as a trainer seat. That is not only safer for your toddler, it’s also much nicer! There is nothing as annoying and frustrating as falling down a large toilet…
* DotBabyThirdly, the Dot Pot is a step-up stool. You can use it to reach the ‘big toilet’. And even when your child is bigger it can be handy in the bathroom. In fact, anywhere where your children need a step up. Because of its design, it can just as easily be used in the kitchen and the bedroom as in the bathroom. Children up to 40 kg can use the step-up stool to reach the wash basin, the sink or higher bookshelves more easily. And, once that function is no longer required, the Dot Pot can be used as a cheerful storage container for toys or other objects.
The Dot Pot looks like a small bucket and that’s not a coincidence! By making it a shape that is well known to the child and that the child regards as ‘one of their toys’, it is less scary for him or her. A cheerful little bucket that you can take with you wherever you go. Safe, fun and familiar.
Potty training
Rules of the potty…
Up till now your child has always worn a nappy but you have noticed that they are ready for the next stage in their development. The first confrontation with ‘the potty’ does not always go as you expect. A lot of children simply find it easier to pee or pooh in their nappy. They are rather scared of the potty and are overwhelmed by the whole thing.
Fortunately, you are not on your own! All over the world children receive toilet training once they reach a certain age. In non-Western cultures this happens much earlier than here in Europe and babies are placed on the potty from as young as three months of age. That is not, of course, necessary but by the time they have reached the age of two your child will certainly be ready.
* 1 Your child will only be toilet trained when they are ready to be. You can try between the age of 18 months and 2 years but don’t worry if it takes longer than you expected.
* 2 Try to ascertain when your child wets their nappy. There is usually a pattern to it. You can also look out for all kinds of signs, such as standing with their legs apart, crying or suddenly running round. Use these signs to put the child on the potty. Did you know that most children do not pee in their sleep, for example, but just as they are waking up? If you anticipate this, you can teach your child to pee in the potty first thing in the morning when they wake up.
* 3 Give your child enough time to use the potty in peace. Don’t force things. If necessary, put them on the potty next to you when you use the toilet yourself so that they see how to do it. Children are sometimes scared because ‘something comes out of their body into the potty’. Reassure them that this is a normal occurrence that happens to both people and animals.
* 4 Teach your child to squat with their legs apart. That way they adopt a comfortable position in which they can comfortably have a pee or a pooh.
* 5 Dress your child in clothing that they can easily remove themself and that is easy for you to remove too. It would be a shame if your child wants to use their potty and is thwarted by clothes that won’t come off!
* 6 Ask at the crèche how they approach toilet training. They have a lot of experience and will be only too pleased to give you advice. You can also find out at what times your child uses the potty and can stick to the same pattern at home too.
* 7 Do not get cross if an accident happens. This is normal. Shouting or punishing your child will only make them feel insecure.
* 8 Empty the potty together with your child and let them flush the toilet themself. That way the child sees the connection between the toilet and potty.
* 9 Provide a special child’s toilet seat if your child wants to use the ‘big toilet’. A doubled-up position or hanging down inside the toilet is bad for their bowels.
* 10 See a doctor or specialist if you are worried.
