At what age can a baby control their bowel movements1

  Generally speaking, babies have already developed good self-control between the ages of 1 year and 3 months to 1 year and 5 months. Some babies may develop slower. So the ability to control urination and defecation may be delayed, but parents don't need to worry, just guide them slowly. Don't scare the baby just because they can't control urination and defecation, as this will cause psychological pressure on the baby.

  Parents can do some training work. Many parents will give their babies urine when they are 7 or 8 months old, gradually forming a habit. When the baby has the intention to urinate, they will also remind the baby through certain actions. After they can speak, they will go and urinate on their own.

  Some babies develop better, usually around 10 months old, when they sit on the toilet, they will defecate, so they gradually develop a habit. When the baby has bowel movements, they will sit on the toilet to defecate on their own. This way, parents can take care of it more easily.

  If the baby controls urination and defecation for a longer period of time, parents should not rush, and gradually exercise the baby. Encourage your baby more, so that they can better control their bowel movements.
