To put ds back in nappies against advice?

If you say to DS (3 and 1/4) to come for a wee, he always does. And he seems able to hold on between wees. As long as you’re fairly regular with taking him to the toilet.

Without this, he doesn’t go independently and he is still pooing his pants.

I am finding it very stressful, the laundry is awful. I spoke to HV who said not to put him back in nappies but AIBU to think it’s just not working?

I have an appt tomorrow with my DS with a paed community DR and i’m intending to discuss potty training anyway. I’ll let you know if they say anything that can be of help :)

Hi op :)

Had a chat about it today with paediatric dr.

She said not to worry at all about my son being 3 and not yet trained. She said if he is not sensing/telling us when he needs a wee then he may not be ready quite yet. Also said it can be helpful to keep with visual aids like books about potty.
