At what age can a baby pee? Why can't a baby pee too early?

When many babies are just born, parents urinate their babies early in order to develop a good habit of urinating regularly. They don’t realize that this is wrong. How old can a baby be to pee? Why can't the baby urinate too early? The editor will explain it to you one by one below, hoping it will be helpful to you.

How old can a baby urinate

When a child is one year old, he will begin to have a certain awareness and ability to control his own urination and defecation. The frequency of bedwetting will be greatly reduced, and you will even be able to tell your parents when you need to use it, or squat down and start peeing. At this time, it is not a big problem to urinate the child occasionally, but not too often. At the same time, we must also respect the child's wishes and ideas. If the child does not like being peeed, parents should not be too reluctant.

Does peeing have an impact on the child?

1. It is not good for the child's spine

The spine of a baby within three months is still a straight line. The first neck curve will be formed after raising the head at three months, the second thoracic curve will be formed after sitting at half a year old, and the third lumbar curve will be formed after walking at one year old. Urinating too early, if the time is too long and the posture is wrong, may cause scoliosis, hunchback and other phenomena.

2. It is easy to cause prolapse and other phenomena 

It is said that the high incidence of hemorrhoids in China is related to urinating and pooping since childhood. Urinating too early or using force too frequently can cause the rectal mucosa to protrude from the anus, which is called anal prolapse. I think that if it is summer, the child wears less clothes and is already one year old, the child can be slowly guided to learn to defecate independently. If you find that your child feels uncomfortable after peeing, you can practice voluntary urination every time there is a signal to urinate.

Why not urinate too early 

1. It affects the healthy development of the child

Scientifically speaking, the child's sphincter cannot mature until he is three years old. According to Cui Yutao, a well-known parenting expert in my country, peeing a child too early can cause anal prolapse or anal fissure. It will also affect the child's spinal development and the development of the sphincter to varying degrees. When the child grows up, the chance of hemorrhoids will increase.

2. Psychological impact on children

Because parents use their own wishes to impose on their children during the process of peeing. Therefore, there are many times when children will cry and be unable to urinate. Some parents will reprimand their children loudly, and even touch the child's butt to force the child to pee. This will have a great impact on the child's character growth. In fact, peeing can also be done when the child is older.
