Ds is 2 years 8 months. He's known for a while when he needs to go and we were offering potty and pants but he always said no. A week ago we left him without his nappy for a few hours and told him to go on potty every half hour. No wees, but no complaining. We put a nappy back on for going out/naps and he peed in that. We've only been doing a few hours here and there and had first wee in potty beginning of the week, then 2 wees yesterday.
We praise and give a choc button but he honestly isn't that bothered. His sleep seems to have been affected with struggling to go to sleep a few times. Then last night we had a 2 hour period in night of him being awake and wanting one of us with him.
This morning I left his nappy off and he got really upset so I've put it on.
What should I do now? Stop and wait until he actually says he wants to do it (I'm doubtful that day would ever come) or persevere a bit longer just doing a few hours each day?
I should also add he has a 3 month old sister and has taken well to her but we have seen some regression in other areas. The thought of staying in for a week to try and crack this isn't appealing as feel I need to get out to keep my sanity!
