My son is 2 years 11 months and is still in nappies.I am getting so much grief from my mum and my MiL that I'm really getting bothered about it.But I truly think that he just isn't ready.
We have done the choosing big boy pants thing, and being very proud of them.But once he has them on he just wets them.I have potties upstairs and down,and I praise him if he does do anything.But in the nappy free day we had yesterday he didn't once say " i need the potty" or I did a wee or anything.He just weed and carried on as normal with wet clothes.If he has a nappy on and I ask if he's pooed, he always says no .I just don't know what to do.My mum says I should persevere and he will get fed up being wet and uncomfy but I'm not convinced that's the best approach.Plus I can't keep up with the washing...5 changes
of trousers yesterday!!!!
Sorry for the essay!!

Thanks guys, I tried the reward system again and basically just went back to how we potty-trained her the first time. It worked, so I'm hoping it was just a glitch!
