Potty training is something that should be taken seriously, not just when your child learns how to walk, but as soon as your child is born. There are presently more moms who are considering letting their children wear only cloth diapers during the day so that when the child is wide awake in preparation for potty training. They will be able to distinguish the wet feeling and as soon as they are 6 months old, they will begin to hold their bladder for a longer time. This is something that is definitely true. If your child is asleep, then you should switch to disposable diapers because it is something that is definitely they need for longer sleep. When they sleep longer and more comfortably, then they will be more alert and also brighter when they are awake. Try to observe this for at least a few months on your infant and you will surely be amazed at the effect this has.
