Hi all
We started potty training around 10 days ago. The first three days or so, our toddler (boy) seemed really interested and had more on target than accidents which we thought was unusual but we'reeof course happy about it. He's 2 years 3 months and we discovered great things like he wees every 2-3 hours, we've managed supermarket and park trips without accidents. Lots of wins to be honest.
I was adviced by nursery to still have him on nappies for his long afternoon nap and bedtime and it's worked well for a gentle transition.
In recent days, he started refusing to wear a nappy and even asking for his pants. I wanted to let him poo in his nappy for a while but he started to refuse wearing them to poo which has him constipated, scared and in apparent pain. He's a stubborn child, very sweet and well behaved, but loves doing his own thing.
I am completely lost as I don't want him to suffer, but he wants to keep trying for #2 without nappies. This has only led to by-the-potty poo accidents or constipation.
Any advice would be great, please. I would like to break this pattern of behaviour. 😪
