subject: Travel Potty Chairs And Toddler Bibs - Staying At The Dry End Of Baby Care [print this page] Wet wet wet Wet wet wet
Teething and toilet training can be some of the most trying times with tiddlers. Unfortunately, both events normally happen at around the same time and our tots find themselves leaking out of both ends - quite literally! Thank goodness, today's potties and bibs make life much easier for parents when it comes to dealing with puddles.
Routine and familiarity are essential to a child that's learning a whole new way of controlling their bodily functions. But when they need a wee away from their familiar surroundings, everything seems to go to pot or, in this case, not. A lot of children find this so distressing they simply can't go or wet themselves rather than ask. Suddenly no one is relaxed, there is a lot of stress and the whole potty training thing can become a 'big deal' which takes much longer than necessary.
The Potette Plus gets over this brilliantly. It's designed to be a doddle to take out and about and super quick to set up ready at those "need to go NOW!" moments. The disposable, bio-degradable liners make tidy-up a fuss-free experience and, for bigger boys and clever girls, it turns into an already familiar portable toilet trainer seat.
Of course it's not just the bottom end of the sweethearts that leaks. Dribbles aren't something you can train away and all the teething gel in the world doesn't stop them soaking through the top half of an outfit as fast as you can say "Let's pop that wet shirt off, shall we?"
Even though some toddler bibs can be quite cute, they're not any parent's first choice when it comes to dressing our babies? Personally I dreaded the moment when I'd have to cover half of the gorgeous outfit I'd chosen with a piece of terry towelling to catch the constant waterfall of dribble, even more so if we were visiting someone that had gifted us the outfit in question. Having said that, I'm well aware there's quite enough laundry without changing babies clothes even more times a day, and a damp chest is neither healthy nor attractive.
Fortunately, a very clever grandmother had a brainwave and came up with an innovative answer. The Dribblebuster is a neckerchief, it looks cool and catches drool at the same time as allowing the clothing bought for your little one to be seen and cooed over. For a fully-matching answer to dribble dressing, there are also co-ordinating t-shirts!
