I am completely clueless. Have no idea what I should be doing.
18 month old DS is very clear about when he needs a poo/wee and I have got into the habit of asking him if he wants to do it on the potty (which he always does with poos, sometimes with wees). Almost all of his poos are done on the potty (shows no interest in the potty at nursery which is odd - or is it? No idea!!!) and probably 2/3 wee's a day. He wees in his nappy when he is having fun and not near a potty and so doesn't tell me he wants to go, not that that is a problem of course, as he is very little and not potty training anyway!!!!
I wasn't planning on potty training him until at least 2.5, or he asked for it, but perhaps this is asking for it? I don't want to try to train him if he isn't completely ready and then have negative associations.
The thing is, I don't really think he is ready to be completely potty trained and I have been told by nursery today that sometimes using the potty and sometimes not is confusing and will put him off potty training in the future. He is really keen on telling me and using the potty (probably due to the positive attention?), so I don't if ignoring him would put him off either? I'm not really sure what to do for the best, please help.
