Where to start with 2 Yr 2 month old

[GoodVibesOnlyPlease]

DS is 2yrs 2 months, he knows what his potty is and has on a few occasions gone and got his potty and pulled his nappy off and peed in it. He's also asked to sit on the toilet and done a wee there too.
Seen as we've got 2 weeks off from work/nursery I'm hoping to give potty training a go starting tomorrow. I was just wondering how to start really?
Do I keep him bottomless and keep the potty nearby? Or go straight to the toilet? I feel like wees may be ok but im not so sure about poos!
I'm fully prepared to stop again after 2/3 days if it doesn't seem to be working out. Any advice appreciated!

Have a read of the nhs website very useful advice if you have a downstairs toilet straight on the toilet works well....get secure non wobble seat.
I never do bare as everytime you introduce pants they go back to square one. He should be able to stay dry for over an hour if ready....test with tissue in nappy, after his first wee remind him after 40 mins or so watch for wriggles and dancing then suggest trying around 40mins and come sit around 50 once they've got it extend the time. Loads of praise and excitement for every success. We'll done for trying etc.

We did do bare bottom half to start with as was hard to see her cues or catch her in time once you've got the trousers down etc. Used the Oh Crap book (took the bits from I I liked) and was successful at 23 months.

Oh crap! worked for us. I got a dinosaur reward chart and some flash cards off Amazon (but ds was slightly older - we waited for warmer weather).

Oh crap, potty training book/method is working well for us at the same age (started 2 days ago). We've done bare bum and potty nearby at all times and asking regularly, keeping an eye on signs like holding downstairs or doing the little dance/lots of farts etc. We don't have a downstairs downstairs toilet otherwise I'd probably go for that, although she isn't a fan or as comfortable as the seat we got for the toilet so far, but she loves pouring her 'work' into the toilet and getting to press the flush etc as a reward

Straight to pants here - with a collection of favourite characters (paw patrol / animals etc) so fun for the child, then a mix of potty/ toilet. Ask every hr if they want to use the loo / place them on it as they may not realise they want to go. Lots of praise, and as above reward with toilet flushing. If they seem to be getting it make sure to get out the house and brave a soft play or something (again - show them the toilet on arrival, returning every 30 mins to accidents) - won’t seem so daunting once you’ve managed an out the home morning or afternoon. Good luck!

Please remember if you go bare and use nurseries or childcare they can not leave children naked for hygiene and safegaurding so you need to put clothes on and let lo get used to it well before starting back. Most children revert in clothes which is why childcare proffesionals rarely use this method.

We did straight to pants and potty for a few days but found he preferred toilet! Lots of wet washing for 2 weeks but we cracked it. Good luck, I wondered why I was doing it but was pleased we persevered, he was 2 years and 3 months

Thanks for everyone's responses. So I gave it a go for a couple of days and he just kept holding his wee's and getting upset because he said it was hurting him. So I've left it for now, will probably try again when the weather gets better and go with pants and trousers on straight away! I have got the oh crap book but she says you need to help them realise when they're going, he already knows when he's going and tells us so possibly not the right way to go about it. Thanks all!

I think you've made the right decision, lots changes in a few months think what they learn in those first few months. Avoiding him getting stressed and anxious is always wise.
