Hi there
We are potty training our 33 month old DS as all his friends are out of nappies now and he said he wanted to be in big boy pants too. He is pretty regular in that he goes every 2 hours when reminded and will pee on the potty and poo on the potty when reminded but if not he has no inclination to take himself off to the potty (he has done it once or twice before but no more). He seems utterly unfussed to be playing in wet/dirty clothes. We have been going since bank holiday weekend (nearly 3 weeks) and I am beginning to lose faith
He goes to nursery and a child minder - nursery are fine with helping potty train but the childminder won't have him unless he is toilet trained (i.e. can ask for the potty or go himself) Instead she insists we put him back in pull-ups/nappies whilst with her.
I think she feels he isn't ready and now i am beginning to doubt whether he is or not - but he asked to go into big boy pants, can go 12 hours over night without wetting his nappy, lasts 2 hours without wetting himself.
How long does potty training last? Should i put him back in nappies or persevere?
Any sympathy/help/advice appreciated.
