Oh crap potty method question

[iwantsunshine1]

I'm going to try the oh crap method with my ds. Those who succeeded with this method, how many days did your child spend with no bottoms on?

I can't remember exactly but I think with DC1 it was 2 days, and with DC2 it was about 4 days - but we did pop out here and there for short periods with DC2 from day 1 as I had school runs to do, and obviously he wore trousers then.

We are on day 8 now and he is still often bare bottomed at home which is his choice. He struggles to get his trousers down still so I think it's just easier for him without trousers. He was wearing trousers in nursery the past two days though and he did pretty well but did have a couple of accidents.

It depends on the child though. DC1 took to it faster than DC2 even though they were quite a bit younger.

I'm on day 4 of the "oh crap method" with ds, he's 2y5m. Still bare bummed and he's doing brilliantly - takes himself to the potty instinctively now. That said, the potty is always in the same room as him for now.

Think I'll do one more day and move onto shorts tomorrow which will be interesting as we need a lot of practise to pull them down so washing machine will be standing by!

On days 8,9,10 he'll be at nursery for the mornings so expecting to be handed lots of bags of wet clothes!
