I've always felt the best way to potty train was to just go cold turkey on nappies (except for bedtime) as using pull ups etc would be too confusing. With my older two children I taught them the concept of the potty (by catching something in the potty and then cheering madly) and then once they knew what if was for and had used it a couple of times I waited for a convenient time to set aside a week to lose the nappies. This worked so well.
Dc3 I planned to do the same, introduced the potty a while ago but he's shown reluctance. He figured of out this weekend (saw his older sister use of while camping and has to copy everything she does). Today he's refused a nappy and had 4 successful wees on the potty so far, but we've got a holiday to go on on Friday and then another short break with lots of travelling and public transport and day trips booked shortly after. I really wanted to wait until those were out the way first. Has anyone done nappy free at home and nappies for out of the house? Is this a recipe for a long drawn out process or could it work out ok?
