Today I found my toddler in his cot grinning at me with his nappy and pyjamas off. Also a lot of poo everywhere. He has been doing this for a few months. Is this a sign that I should start potty training him (at least for poos)?
He frequently takes his pyjamas off at night, I have tried several different types (babygros, babygros with poppers down the side, poppers at the back, 2 piece pyjamas) but he can get them all off. He can also undo a vest with poppers on to get at his nappies.
He also doesn't make a fuss if he's poos, I.e. we can't tell if he's done something needing a major clean up or is just singing/babbling to himself. He has slept through the night for over a year now so I don't want to interfere with him putting himself back to sleep by checking on every whimper.
I was going to put him into a bed as the cot will be needed for DS2 next January. Would this be a good idea as he'll be able to come and get us if he needs to poo?
I'm worried that it's the wrong time for potty training as things are set to change at home and I don't want to disrupt him too much.
I'm back to university tomorrow and this is my last full day at home. (DP still works from home though)
DS2 is due late next January and DS will be moving to the bigger room (with the bathroom right next to it, admittedly) and be giving the cot up at some point. I know this doesn't have to be immediately as DS2 will be in a crib in our room for a good few months. But maybe sooner is better?
I'm want to get things right for DS1 as I don't want lots of things to change too suddenly for him but I don't want to keep finding poo surprises of a morning.
Thanks
