Should the diaper be taken off right away?

The diaper comes off step by step

No, actually, it’s better not to. When you start potty training, your child will first learn what the toilet is for and what happens in their body. And that big kids and grown-ups go to the toilet. If you take the diaper off right away, your child won’t really know what to do. They need to learn that with your help.  So first, spark their interest by reading books and talking about it (Step 1). While they’re still in a diaper. Then, take the diaper off for an hour every day (Step 2). Your child will occasionally use the potty. Is that going well? Then gradually extend those practice hours. In step 3, your child spends a few hours at a time without a diaper, wearing underwear. Only when that’s going almost perfectly can the diaper stay off all day (step 4). Each step takes a few weeks.
