Won't Wear Undies. What Do I Do???

[Little Chicken]

I tried and tried with DD1 to get her to toilet train. Nothing worked. I did everything you did and it didn't work. She just did it herself. Did a wee on the potty (she was scared of the toilet), and it just clicked. Took about two weeks all up from there, she also night trained at the same time. She was around your DS's age as well.

My DS flat out refused also until one day he just took himself to the toilet and that was that. It was like a little bulb just suddenly went off. At 4 he still isnt night trained but Im not overly concerned about that atm.

ok, thanks for your advice. i guess i'll just give him some more time pretty tired of changing poo nappies though!!!)

I don't blame you!!
Does he watch DH going to the toilet?

I had same issues with DS1. In end I left him and at 3 years 7 months something clicked and he wore undies and never looked back! We only had 2 wee accidents and both time because excited to see someone and forgot on way to toilet and a week of poo issues as he was scared to do it toilet.

On his 4th birthday he told me he didnt need a nappy at night now he was a big boy and have had NO accidents.

I have been in a similar position with DS. He was very aware of the process from about 18months and could tell us all about it. He intermittently and occasionally used the toilet from then up until about a month ago when he just got it and he has only had one accident since then. He was three in March. We kept encouraging, suggesting etc but then would have to back off when he would "regress" back into nappies, or only wear undies at daycare but have four accidents a day Even though he is in undies most of the time and usually dry overnight now, he sometimes wants nappies (which he pulls up and down ) and he is using the potty on the floor rather than the potty seat on the toilet. He is doing it his way and despite his cognitive understanding, I suspect he was feeling pushed by our (and childcare's) encouragement and waited until he had full control ITMS.

The dirty nappies will end and once they're gone, it will probably seem quick in hindsight. I do empathise with you though cause I was completely over it too and DS started to refuse to wear cloth nappies so after nearly 3 years in cloth, I was suddenly having to buy lots of sposies which totally sucked!!
