hi my boy is nearly 19 months and am considering potty training him but he has no sensations yet. problem is his nappies at nite dont hold his business no matter how many times he is changed. they just leak every nite.

obviously this is wreaking havoc with my washing machine and tbh i dont think there is any point in putting anything on him at nite.

shall i attempt the potty thing? have tried but will only sit on it with a packet of sweets and obviously i cant be doing that forever cos of his teeth etc...

any suggestions?

What nappies have you tried?
Doubt potty training would help if he has no sensations yet and could be a long while before he is ready to be dry at night.

Sounds a nightmare.
How about a cloth nappy wrap (prob a Motherease airflow) on top of a disposable? Double protection!
