Hi all
Two parts to this question. My little boy is just over 3 years.
Firstly - I was signed up to the Oh Crap method. Day 1 - naked - pretty high self initiated success rate. Day 2 (today) - just shorts - he went through 8+ pairs of shorts in 4 hours, no successes.
My instinct was telling me it wasn't going to work for him. I tried prompting him but he always refused to go then had an accident. So we set a timer - every 20 mins - and set up a potty next to his for his favourite toys. It's worked a treat and no accidents in 5 hours.
My concern though is he won't know how to self initiate with the timer? And how do I wean him off using it? Have I made this really hard for him?
Second question - he's a big wee-er. Volumes and frequency. I feel like we're going to be getting the potty out constantly if we leave the house. Anyone else got experience of this? He's always drunk a lot. Nappies always been very wet. Nursery have commented on it too - leaks nappy in the day sometimes as it gets overwhelmed and often during night. Anyone with experience of this?
