The parent's awareness of baby's timing can help here too. When the mother is in tune with the baby's needs and rhythms, she provides a peeing opportunity at a timely moment, rather than expecting the child to hold it in. These parents may rely on using public bathrooms, or bring along a container such as a tight-lidded bucket. Being aware of your baby's timing patterns and providing regular peeing opportunities is helpful. Staying close to home in the first weeks and months allows you time to establish a relaxed and close communication with your baby.
Some parents feel more comfortable using diapers on outings, especially in the beginning.
There are several approaches to naps and nighttime. Babies rarely pee while in a deep sleep. They almost always stir first, usually enough to wake the mother, so she can either take them to the toilet, or hold them over a potty that is kept right beside the bed. Some mothers pee the baby before, during or after a nighttime nursing. You can cradle your baby in a nursing position while holding her over a bowl or potty resting on your lap, between your thighs, beside you on the bed, or on the floor by the bed.
