ok ds is wearing 'big boy' pants!!!

[alexsmum]

have decided that today is the day and have put ds in pants.so far so good.he's 2 years five months and has been doing wees and poos on the potty while naked for a while now. made such a pigs ear of the whole thing with ds1 that really at a loss for what to do this time.
what should my next move be? more of the same ? do i put a nappy on him if we go out? any advice gratefully recieved!

bumpt!

Cod has a potty training thread.
Not on it myself as ds finally got there at nearly four, but I think she says cold turkey on nappies.

I wouldn't put a nappy on him for going out - it can be confusing for them. I just took dd to the toilet every fifteen minutes (or every time we passed one!) when we went out for the first couple of weeks, until I got used to how long she was going between wees and how long she could hold on for. She got heartily sick of it in the end and told me in no uncertain terms that she would tell me when she needed a wee and she did.

Just make sure you know where all the public loos are, which shops have toilets in them, and be prepared to whip his pants off and let him pee into a drain if he needs to.
