Ds2 is 2.5 and keeps asking me to change his nappy after a poo and after he does a wee saying he is wet. This is when he is in a disposable so he knows he has done a wee. We use a combination of cloth and disposable nappies depending on what we are doing.

We brought Ds1's potty chair down from the loft and put it in the bathroom. Ds2 says it is his and won't let anyone near it.

He sits on it to brush his teeth with naked bottom and did do a wee (a fluke) but asks to sit on the potty after he has pooed. He does know when he is pooing.

Have now brought potty into the lounge (no downstairs toilet) and he is currently trouserless but in his fuzzy reusables.

We use fuzzy and swaddlebees normally (fuzzy are a little generous in size) swaddlebees fit like a glove.

I have loosened it so that if he does need to go we can whip them down or off but does anyone recommend any cloth training pants?

why not just pants? ds cracked it in a couple of days so it isn't really worth spending money on anything transitional.

Just put him in underpants. Buy 15 pairs, make sure they aren't too tight and go for it! I have one cloth training pant but DS ware it twice as underpants are better, the others were too mich like nappies to get the message across.

Got some good diaperraps training pants from flame on this site which I then used for night time when he was in pants during the day (kept to nappies at night for a while). We had morning and evening sessions with potty - this helped ds to get used to 'performing' before we potty trained - he was also in washables.

Thanks everyone, I have got loads of normal pants but as I have been through this before, I don't want him weeing everywhere if he isn't yet truly ready.

Last time with ds1 he was almost 3 and I had a newborn baby so it is all a bit of a blur except the cleaning the carpet loads which I can do without.

Thanks mistlethrush will have a look at flame's website. As he is in cloth anyway I would prefer him to have a backup of waterproof lining before putting him in normal pants.
