DS wants to be out of diapers. I feel awful putting him in one when he so clearly wants to be in underwear. He just is NOT consistent enough yet.
We started EC at 10 months old. I got pregnant when he was about 17 months old and we backed way off because I was so sick. He went back to being "diaper trained"(still kicking myself for it). We tried working slowly back at it around 20 months and he didn't cooperate. I even tried a week just going diaper free, and he was doing best with that, but still having lots of misses and we live with my mom right now while house hunting, so I felt bad and put him back in diapers with underwear underneath.
Now a month later he's back to just wanting underwear. Today he signed "potty" while wearing underwear and literally 2 seconds later he peed on the floor lol. It was too fast for my pregnant self to get off the couch, but he tried, and that was great!
So what would you do? He obviously WANTS to be out of diapers. I'm somewhere between EC and conventional methods now, which I am ok with. He loved getting praise and he loved being rewarded for dry pants. He did really well with the timer method as well.
I just know many of you have done traditional potty training with older children so I thought maybe some of you could give me ideas for a good mix here.
Should I give him through the weekend in diapers and then next week when I will be home all week put him in underwear and try that again?
