I'm looking for some advice on potty training my son who is 2 and half and will be 3 beginning of August.
He has been in a private nursery since he was 1 and since moving into toddlers at 2 he is used to being around older children and around 6-8 months ago I noticed I was packing a lot of nappies and he was still coming home with just as many. It was only after a month or so i asked nursery and they said he had been seeing the older kids going the potty/toilet and was following suit now and again. I did try the potty few times with him but he wasn't at all interested and at this point i thought his understanding of the toilet and knowing to tell me when to go wasn't quite there yet so we proceeded with nappies.
Anyway, to cut a long story short this weekend I bought a miniature potty which is a bit like a small toilet, I've put it in the corner of the living room and stuck a sticker chart on the wall for encouragement. We started in the morning by taking the pull up off and me telling him to let me know when he needed a wee or poo. Within 15 minutes he'd wet himself and pooed! Over the next few hours he had two more accidents and whilst we were out to which point I give in and put a pull up on!
He generally doesn't like the potty and doesn't want to go on it at all really. He doesn't like going about with a bare bum and asks for a nappy on.
Just looking for some advice as to how I can get on with it and whatever else helped you with yours. Sorry for the huge post but wanted to give as much detail as possible 🙂
