10 useful books to teach children to remove the diaper

In addition to the classic method of removing the diaper that we have told you about in the past, many parents have found it very useful to introduce the little ones to the potty through entertaining children’s reading on the subject.

The moment of leaving the diaper and therefore knowing how to control one’s “needs” is a natural process in the life of every child. Clearly everyone has their own times and parents must learn to respect them and not force themselves.
But however natural and inevitable the transition from diaper to potty (or toilet with reducer) may be, everything doesn’t always go smoothly. In fact, children are often afraid and even refuse to try.

In addition to the classic method of removing the diaper that we have told you about in the past, many parents have found it very useful to introduce the little ones to the potty through entertaining children’s reading on the subject.
In fact, there are many books on the market on how to remove the diaper from children that can help you make pottying, I’m not saying something fun, but at least softer for both you and your little ones.
Many of these books are to be read together with the children, possibly every day, also allowing the little ones to have the opportunity to leaf through them whenever they want. And as also stated by Dr. Erika Silighini – psychologist, psychotherapist and pedagogical coordinator – it is necessary
make the child listen to the reading as if it were any story, because what it is! And you shouldn’t make comments like: “You see, this little animal has figured out where to pee while you don’t!”

Books to teach children to remove the diaper

In order not to drive you crazy looking online for books on how to remove the diaper for babies, I did a search and I selected among the best books on diaper removal those that seemed to me the most interesting.

Among these are books for parents with tips and tricks and fun and clever books for children able to stimulate the little ones to go to the potty by imitating the characters of the stories or to teach them to familiarize themselves with pee and poop, dealing with the topic from an unusual point of view.

The Princess Potty and the Pirate Potty

These two cute little books are part of a series of motivational sound books. In particular, The Potty of the Princess and the Potty of the Pirate (respectively version for girls and boys) are among the most appreciated by mothers and children (they have excellent reviews). The characters, with their stories, help the little ones playfully understand the importance of using the potty rather than doing their needs on the diaper.

Babies love the motivational button they can press to enhance the moments when the protagonists take steps towards independence from the diaper.


I can look in your diaper

Interactive/educational book.
Can I look in your diaper?  it is a really cute and well done hardcover book, with  nice interactive illustrations.  In fact, the characters all have a diaper that children can open and close and this amuses them a lot. In fact, by interacting with the animals (to which the mouse asks if he can look in the diaper), children feel part of the story. Just like Topotto, who is the only animal that doesn’t do its business in its diaper, the child should also be pushed (the conditional is a must) to emulate the mouse and not get his diaper dirty again by starting to use the potty.


No more diapers!

Even Enough Diaper! it is a book that I really like. It is wordless but the plot, very cute and funny, is extremely direct and intuitive and parents can explain it in their own words. The book tells the story of a child who decides to say goodbye to the diaper. A world full of… potties of all shapes and colors awaits him. But not everything will go as adults expect. Small and handy, the book teaches both potty training and toilet training, so it shows the child both options.


Whose potty is this?

Here’s another cute little book for kids with an intriguing story about an abandoned potty on the lawn. All animals intrigued by the object would like to try to use it: after all, you can do many things on a potty… But an emergency pushes its real, little owner to finally want it all for herself!


Bye Bye Diaper

And who doesn’t know Topo Tip !   He is the famous character of a thousand adventures and the one that tells how to teach his little sister to leave the diaper and use the potty could not be missing. The story, like all those in the Topo Tip series, deals with the topic in order to make the little ones understand in a pleasant but still didactic way, with examples and figures on how to behave in life (and in this case to leave the diaper).


White Bear’s underpants

White Bear’s underpants is a book that is a bit out of the ordinary and that deals with the diaper/potty topic from a different point of view than usual.
In fact, by telling the story of a poor bear who has lost his underpants, he diverts the child’s attention from the potty issue, directing it instead to how important and nice it is to have underpants.
Certainly an interesting and effective approach especially for children who need to know how to take it in the right direction. 


Who did that to my head?

Also the book Who made it in my head? is a book that helps children become familiar with the subject, without explicitly asking the child to imitate anyone, but simply making him understand that everyone poops. In fact, the book tells the story of a little mole who on a quiet spring evening is hit on the head by a brown sausage-shaped thing.

Who will be the culprit? To flush him out, the Mole will have to carry out thorough, stinking investigations.


And now we take off the diaper?

And now we take off the diaper? is a particularly useful read for parents because it was born as a collection of notes from the experience of a novice mother.
The text gives very useful and clear indications on how to go from diaper to potty independence with suggestions that can also be applied in other growth situations. The book also offers alternatives and advice on how to behave in response to certain reactions of the little ones. Reactions that are explained by the author herself with interesting references to child psychology


Take off the diaper!

“Take off the diaper!” is a book by Elena Dal Prà , pedagogist and infant massage teacher and mother of 2 beautiful girls. The text, designed for adults, talks about potty training  from many points of view and for this reason it is certainly helpful. It tells of parental experiences (in the book under the name of “Voci di mamma e papa”) and illustrates scientific research, giving the reader a range of complete information on the subject.
