I'm planning to start training soon — is winter or summer a better time for the child to adjust?

While summer and winter each have pros and cons, summer is generally considered easier for most babies and young children by pediatric standards.
In summer, warmer weather means fewer upper respiratory infections (colds, flu) — this also cuts the risk of getting sick during adjustment. Longer days also make it easier to plan outdoor play and transition activities.
On the flip side, starting in winter has one advantage: children who start in summer and continue through fall encounter illnesses in winter, while those starting in winter face virus-heavy weeks right away.
The most important factor is actually not the season but readiness — choosing a time when your child is ready and when you can support the routine. Early summer offers a lower infection load and smoother transition in practice.
