Did you know your baby’s body is designed to stay dry while sleeping? 😲
Here’s why: The antidiuretic hormone (ADH) helps prevent peeing during sleep. When we wake up, ADH wears off, the bladder fills, and—surprise!—we need to pee. This happens for adults and babies alike!
So let’s use this biological cue to make pottying easy for our little ones 🌙
How to do the Wake-Up Pee:
STEP ONE: When baby starts stirring, grunting, or rolling around = bladder is filling!
STEP TWO: Hold baby in the EC Classic Hold over a top hat potty, sink, or toilet
STEP THREE: Say “pssst” to cue them. Running water or gentle blowing on their head can help relax them.
STEP FOUR: If baby is mobile, set them on a mini potty or hold them over the toilet.
Even if the diaper is wet, offer anyway! There’s often more to come ⏳ Why bother? This routine builds the expectation that we pee upon waking, setting your child up for independent pottying later.
Nurse first or potty first? Up to you! But pottying first often leads to a better, more focused feed.
