Putting 2.6yo in knickers a week before dc2 is due?

[MrsBadger]

she is weeing reliably on the potty or toilet both at home and nursery (with reminding) and is dry in the mornings

disregarding confounding factors I was thinking of trying her in knickers this weekend with a view to sending her to nursery in them on Monday if successful

but

dc2 is officially due 27th Jan and could appear any day (is 3/5 engaged and dd was early)

woudl it be madness?

Hello Mrs Badger, I think you've replied helpfully to a few of my posts in the past, ; my thoughts are it depends how bothered you are about whether it is succesful or not. And do you have the energy to pursue things over the next few weeks if it's a bit hit and miss? I suppose also she could do quite well but then you might have to expect her to regress depending on how she reacts to arrival of dc2.
I'm in same situation now wondering about putting DS in pants this weekend, but I keep delaying it as can't face the idea of a weekend without too many trips out! And we're expecting DC2 in 3 months. Am wondering I'm deluding myself that I can crack it before then, as he might do really well but fear it will all unravel when baby arrives anyway. Good luck x

Initial thoughts MADNESS

But if she is really ready... hmm, don't know what I'd do

But have been scarred by exp of regressing 2.8yr old following new baby. SO think I would wait

i put my daughter in pants, and she fully trained a month b4 my son was born (this was because she wanted it) the minute my son was born she had accident after accident, and went back into nappies about a week later.

she is still refusing to train 6 months later.

i dont know if i should have waited, if maybe she would have been happy to train a month after he was born, and i wouldnt be having this trouble now; or maybe she just always would have reacted this way?

i think if i was to do it again i would wait. it does no harm to wait a little longer, but to regress could potentially cause more harm then good.

im only going by my experience, but i HTH

thank you ladies, shall continue nappies with clear conscience forthwith

I think I agree with others here. My dd(now 6yrs) was fully trained a few months before ds1 was born. When he arrived for about a month she completely regressed. I let her wear princess pull ups for a little bit then back into pretty knickers. Nursery were great with her and very patient and we did not make a fuss and all went back to normal really quickly.

as you might have seen with my other thread though not having quite as much luck with the ds mentioned above

They do tend to regress after "stressful" or life changing event, so I waited until 2/3 months after the baby was born. Also had experience of trying to b/feed newborn while they're still getting the hang of latching on with the toddler always seeming to need a wee just after Id got them latched on
