Recently my DS - 15 months - started taking off his nappy at every opportunity and pooing everywhere! Nappy changes were also becoming a battle. He'd clearly started disliking the feel of a dirty nappy (he didn't care before).
I thought maybe he'd prefer to use to a potty, so I keep it in his play area. For the last week he's only pooed in his potty, and goes for quite long periods dry without a nappy (a good few hours). He cant walk or talk (just babbles) - i put him on the potty after he wakes up and when it looks like he needs a poo.
The thing is he's starting nursery in a few months when I go to back to work full time. I can't expect nursery staff to watch when he needs a potty. So how "trained" do they need to be before sending them to nursery in pants? How does it work exactly? Do they need to be able to go to a nursery worker and tell them when they need to go?
I'm just wondering if there's any point in continuing with the potty if he will go to nursery in nappies, or if anyone has managed to get a baby trained by 18 months?
