Firstly, parents should take their babies to choose the potty seat they like in order to help them accept the seat more easily.

Secondly, parents should be patient, meticulous, and persistent in training their babies to defecate.

They should explain to the baby that defecation is waste and should be put in the toilet or potty seat in a relaxed tone. They can let the baby watch the mother use the toilet or show them a picture book or video about using the toilet, which will encourage the baby to imitate.

Thirdly, when the baby defecates using a newborn potty seat, mothers should encourage them in a timely manner to let them know they are doing things correctly. Mothers should pay attention to their attitude when the baby is defecating, otherwise, the baby may feel mother is disgusted with cleaning up which may make them feel ashamed to defecate on the potty seat.

Lastly, mothers should dry the baby's buttocks immediately after defecation, and use running water to wash the baby's hands. To reduce the chance of bacterial infection, the baby's buttocks and external genitalia should be cleaned every day. Don't feed the baby or let them play with toys while they are on the potty seat.
