That's interesting Kakapo. Nice to hear I'm not the only one!

Thanks everyone for your advice. I hadn't thought about the motor thing of not being able to get his undies off. We might practice that and gradually build up the time in undies so he gets used to them, and just give him lots of time to run round in the nude (bugger that it's winter, poor child).

He "knows" that you do wees and poos in the potty (we talk lots about it in the car and when DH and I go to the loo and Daniel tells me that wees and poos go in the potty) but that's not yet connecting to action.]]> Thu, 08 Jul 2010 10:50:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34529&PID=1091534&title=tt-again-moving-into-undies#1091534 <![CDATA[TT again - moving into undies : We&#039;ve had the same issue...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34529&PID=1091184&title=tt-again-moving-into-undies#1091184 Author: kakapo

We've had the same issue Flissty.  Jimmy started using the potty for both wees and poos of his own accord, a couple of months before he turned two.  But will still only use it if he's not wearing anything on his lower half.  He will wet undies/pants etc and won't tell me when he needs to go.

He's now two and a half, and has only recently (as in a few weeks ago) shown any interest in learning how to dress himself.  He can put shoes on, pull his socks off and has spent hours putting a size 1 dress on as a skirt LMAO ... but hasn't yet progressed to undies.  I figure he'll get there when he's ready, and haven't pushed the undies thing at all.

Jack was like that for a long time. TT was a very long process for us and it made me feel like the most useless parent ever. Caprece was so easy which made me realise it is the child not the parent that choses when TT happens. On that note I think you have a pretty sweet attitude to it which is the way to be

I think if I was in that situation I would go back to no undies for a bit and then reintroduce them. Remind him about going to the toilet as well and maybe make a big deal of you going and how you need to pull your pants down.

Good luck!]]> Tue, 06 Jul 2010 21:40:43 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34529&PID=1089927&title=tt-again-moving-into-undies#1089927 <![CDATA[TT again - moving into undies : Does he feel comfortable pulling...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34529&PID=1089920&title=tt-again-moving-into-undies#1089920 Author: Shelt

Does he feel comfortable pulling them up and down by himself? Maybe thats why he can go on the potty without them on? If you think that could be the problem you could make a game of practising how to get them off and on easily, and maybe then he just wears them for an hour or so at a time and work up to full time again. You could wait till he wees in the potty (no undies) and then put them on him for an hour or so, taking them off again before he is likely to go wees again. Then increase the time in undies slowly.

Also, maybe you could make a big deal of telling him/showing him how you wear undies and his Dad wears undies and explain that you wear them because you can do wees/poos in the toilet. It might just help him make that conection that he is wearing undies because he can go in the potty and that they are not the same as nappies.]]> Tue, 06 Jul 2010 21:31:21 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34529&PID=1089920&title=tt-again-moving-into-undies#1089920 <![CDATA[TT again - moving into undies : Yeah, that&#039;s why I&#039;m...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34529&PID=1088985&title=tt-again-moving-into-undies#1088985 Author: fire_engine

Yeah, that's why I'm not wanting to push it, but it's just that he's great if he has nothing on.]]> Tue, 06 Jul 2010 11:36:49 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34529&PID=1088985&title=tt-again-moving-into-undies#1088985 <![CDATA[TT again - moving into undies : wow not even 2... my boys just...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34529&PID=1088821&title=tt-again-moving-into-undies#1088821 Author: Bizzy

I'm not sure relly, maybe put him in undies for a small part of the day. he might be almost ready, just not quite. i wish there was an 0800 toilet training number too.... my girl is proving trickier than i thought . ]]> Tue, 06 Jul 2010 09:09:04 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34529&PID=1088821&title=tt-again-moving-into-undies#1088821 <![CDATA[TT again - moving into undies : I need a TT coach please Dan...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34529&PID=1088638&title=tt-again-moving-into-undies#1088638 Author: fire_engine

I need a TT coach please

Dan is great with using the potty for wees if he has nothing on his lower half. Will stop what he's doing, go wee, come back and tell me very proudly (often with the potty in his hands) and then gets on till next time. He'll sometimes poo in it; otherwise he'll get me a nappy and tell me he wants it on.

This has been happening for a few months. So I decided to take it forward a step. We got some undies (so so cute). But, he just wees in them. I don't know if :
a) he thinks they're like nappies, so he can wee in them (though he seems a bit upset when he's realised he's wee'd), or
b) having his bits covered means he isn't so conscious of needing to go. But that doesn't make that much sense cos it's an internal feeling of needing to go.

It's only been a couple of days and we're going gently, not making a fuss if he wees in the undies. I'm not sure what's the best way to go forward.

Do we keep trying the undies so he gets more used to them?
Do we drop the undies for a bit?

I don't care if he wets them - we have heaps now, but I don't want him getting distressed. And given that he's successful without them on, does he just need a bit of time to get used to them so all the connections line up again in his brain? I'm also not hugely fussed if he doesn't TT yet, but given that he's great without undies, I thought (and Plunket thought) it was probably a good time to give it a go.

Help! I need 0800-Toilet Trainer.]]> Mon, 05 Jul 2010 22:00:07 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34529&PID=1088638&title=tt-again-moving-into-undies#1088638
