Sorry, this has been asked a million times before, but I would really appreciate advice.
DS is 18.5months, in cloth nappies (if that makes a difference).
For a few months now he has been hiding away to poo, not every time, but mostly. Sometimes he will say 'poo, poo' as he is doing it (most recently on a plane, which was ).
Also, the other day he was running about with no nappy on when he went into the bathroom, stood right next to the loo, said 'wee' and proceeded to wee on the floor by the loo. Sadly I wasn't quick enough to lift him on to the loo!
I don't really want to go down the gradual potty training route- I'd rather he was in nappies or out of them IYSWIM. And I wasn't expecting to even think about this until next summer, when he will be 2.5.
So, is it possible to 'cold turkey' train a child of this age? And what do I do now?
Any thoughts appreciated, and well done if you've read all this!
