Help! DS suddenly refusing to wear nappies

[KleineMaus]

But he also refuses to use the potty. Not sure what to do? I'd given up on the idea of potty training for the moment, despite him being over 2.5 as he was refusing to even sit on the potty and I didn't want to make the potty an issue. In the past couple of days he's been refusing to wear a nappy during the day. We've been in the house as he has a bad cold, so I've let him. He can go a couple of hours without peeing, which I think is a good sign. Do I just wait and see how many accidents it will take to make him want to use the potty - he hates having wet trousers? If I say to him 'what do you say if you need to pee?' He shout's 'mummy, potty!', but has absolutely no intention of using it. One of the other reasons I've put off training is that I'm 12 weeks pregnant and suffering rather with nausea and am really not in the right frame of mind for this at the moment. Maybe I should just insist on nappies, I've suggested training pants or big boy pants but he refuses those too. Help?

Would he use the toilet if you got a step and a trainer seat? I think you have to make it clear there are only two options - nappies or toilet/potty. People don't just pee where they are at the time! 2.5 is old enough to know what grown-ups do and what babies do, so he may be happier to do what grownups do and use the toilet itself.

Why not try the toilet and not the potty? Tell him he is a big boy and big boys go on the toilets.
Take him with you to choose some new special pants.

Give him an ultermatm youe eather go in the toilet or you wair your nappies.

Maybe you're both right about the toilet (or Daddy's potty as he's been calling it). Yesterday I found him tugging at the bathroom door with wet trousers (I was in the next room), but when I've suggested he use the toilet he says no, but I think I'll go and get a toilet seat and step anyway.
