Potty training the reluctant toddler...

Toddler is 2 and 3 months.
They can hold it for hours.. and if there is no nappy they will NOT wee!
Started 'light hearted' potty exposure a month ago.. at first they were quite keen and did a few wees and poos on the potty, but all of a sudden it's a 'NO. potty.. nappy on!'

Is it best to forget it for a few months? Said toddler is quite a feisty personality and I suspect it will be a battle of wills even if we do leave it for a while. Physically they are definitely ready and able but co-operation wise... not so much!

Any tips?

I’d leave it. They’re young and this is a power struggle you don’t want to have

I'd leave it and try again at 3 years.
