need some serious help with potty training...

[confuzed90]

So my son is 3 in may.. I am 30 weeks pregnant so really want him potty trained before hand. I've tried before where he took to it really well, did wees and poos on potty. So I attempted to put him in underwear..now he will not go on potty or toilet. He screams and cries and refuses to use anything other then a nappy. I do find it embarassing, as my mum and mil keep having digs at me about him not being potty trained..and has a go at DS when his nappy is full.is he to old for nappies? He knows exactly what the toilet is for..if I go for a wee he'll say "mummy gone for a wee wee" so he knows. He tells me if he's weed in his nappy and if his nappy is full.just refuses to not have one on. Even for 2 minutes.screams. What do I do? I've made a reward chart which he is fascinated in..or was until I told him its for when he goes wee in potty.

He's not ready. Just leave the potty out for him to play around with got now and try again in a few weeks. I realise you want it done before your second child arrives but if he's not ready you'll just spend the whole time clearing up accidents. 2.9 is not too old.

have just stopped an attempt with DS who is 2.5 - he too shows understanding but doesn't want to go in the potty or on the loo so have stopped for the time being. All the anecdotal evidence seems to be if you wait until they are ready they'll get it fairly easily and painlessly - if you rush them it'll be longer, messy and more stressful for all concerned. Please don't let others' comments affect you

My DS was 3 in December I also have a 6 month old baby. I debated whether or not to potty train him before she arrived and decided that it would be too much upheaval for him.
We started potty training last Monday. He has one accident and also seems to be dry at night.
I think waiting was the best thing for all of us.

We went straight for the toilet, missed potty out. (he didn't like usi g it) Explained that obviously he is a big boy now and nappies don't come in big boys sizes, once nappie is off never go back, (use pull ups for night) then used reward chart :)

Well I attempted yesterday. To see how he went just for a week n if he does it. He loves his sticker chart. When he gets to five he gets a sweet. He did very well yesterday, asked for nappys a few times, but I said no and that he has to go on potty, he did, then I attempted pants..he weed twice in his pants then started pulling them and his trousers down to go for a wee...today not so easy but has been using potty, he was playing with toys with no pants on and pood, he was very upset about his accident and ran and sat on potty.he thought he had a nappy on and then realised that he hadn't but was to late.
