DS 2.5 went backwards in toilet training - help!

[hoolagirl]

Ds wouldnt use a potty but started using the toilet for pee and poo quite well, asking when he needed it etc but obviously still doing some in his nappy/pullups.
Anyhow, since I gave up work about 2 months ago he totally refuses to go on the toilet most of the time and no longer asks to go at all.
Ive tried sitting him on and sometimes he will do a pee and other times he will just jump straight off.
Any tips/advice?

don't know if this helps? I would try just pants, No nappies/pull ups at all,except nights.
take a pile of bottoms with you. Ask regular if ds wants to use the toilet. Any accidents just brush off but explain that its better to use the toilet/ hedge? Just try for two weeks, if still not dry or trying then put nappies on and forget it. Repeat two weeks later.
Good luck, hopefully the weather will pick up for all the washing!

I find my little boy is a bit funny about using the loo - he was only using the potty until recently, then suddenly started to pee in the loo about a month ago.
He has been a bit hit and miss since then - sometimes he wants to use the potty, sometimes the loo for no clear reason.
He did mention something about 'falling down' a couple of weeks ago - I think he may have gone to the loo alone and tried to sit down with no seat down and slipped. Poor old thing.
I just offered him a bit of custard cream for using the loo a couple of times and now he's using it again for peeing, with no bribes. He's still a bit small to put on the reducer seat and climb on unassisted though, so I have left a potty in the bathroom for poops.
It sounds as if you are doing the right thing and not pressurising him, he's sure to come round eventually. If you can persuade him to go when he wakes up, after meals etc... you are more likely to get something.
An incentive of some sort seems to work quite well with my little boy who is now just over 2.5 - could just be him though, but if he thinks there's a crisp, sultana, biscuit or whatever in it, he's much more enthusiastic to go.
I second the carrying spare trousers and going out. Try to get him to pee before you go out and then go out for a little walk, then go out for longer periods as you both get used to it.
I found going out with mine quite nerve-wracking, I think, because he's my first and I felt self-concious about him peeing on the floor of a shop, but nothing particularly bad has happened, and he's pretty reliable now. It has been a lot easier to switch trousers than a full nappy change.
You could continue to do the part-time nappy thing until you feel it isn't helping any more or just fling out the day nappies and just dig out lots of tracky bums, which dry fast for the first few weeks.
Good luck!!

I have no advice but we have a similar problem. DD (2.3) was ready to potty-train just before 2. We cracked the wees within 2 weeks and the poos about 6 weeks later (with an occassional one in the nappy during her afternoon naps)- she was asking to go in good time to make it to the potty.

However, suddenly we had a set-back that has now been going on for a month (!). While she is perfectly aware that she needs to wee she refuses to go - let alone asking to go! I can tell she wants to as she is running around nervously, but if I dare to suggest that she goes, we have a tantrum on our hands. Finally she announces that she needs to go just as her pants are wet . I don't want to put her back to nappies as she was already dry before - anyone any suggestions on how to tackle this? I am sick of the apalled looks I get when we are out and DD is screaming her head off in toilets at a mere suggestion of going to the loo
