2.8 yr old DS hates nappy changes, no interest in potty.

[noitsachicken]

Hello,
Advice please!
DS is 2.8, nappy changes are a daily battle! We know when he has done a poo (as does he I am sure) but he aways says no when you ask him. Trying to get him changed is a fight, often the only way to have it done easily is trough bribery.
He is not interested in the toilet or potty, but will sit on the potty sometimes having stories read to him, he does not wee or poo during this time, but will often PPP in his nappy soon after!
I would like to follow his lead, and just wait until he seems more ready, DH is keen to get on with it, especially because of the nappy battles.

I really have no idea where to start with potty training even if we wanted to!

We also have a 6 week old, which I think is another reason to wait a bit longer, don't want too many changes at once.

Any suggestions.....?

Thanks

PPP? Should be poo!

Bump

As unfortunate as it is, I'm not sure there is much you can do. You are doing the right thing, but if your DS doesn't show any interest her's just not ready.

Thanks for the reply.

I think you are right.

Good luck

Agree with Pirate.
But for the battles, perhaps explain to him that you're "going to take yucky away and it'll be better". I tell my son things like that when he's done #No2 not so much bribe because he should be doing it anyway, but we're all guilty of it!
Distract him with TV or a book while you do it, perhaps him standing rather than laying. (seems to be working for me lately.)

#No2 in nappy - put it down the toilet and let him flush it away. Show him where it goes or say "bye-bye". Messy work but he might enjoy flushing the loo, ha!
