i am not sure if my son fits into a toddler forum any more... he is 3. so if this needs to be moved just let me know.
anyway, our three year old is completely terrified of the toilet, even a little potty chair. for awhile he would wear underwear in the evenings and pee on the potty. now he won't even have "naked" time like he use to. he is totally freaked by not having on a diaper and peeing/pooping on himself/the floor. when he would wear the underwear it wasn't a big deal if he had an accident we just changed him and that was that.
he wore cloth for a long long time. but he out grew all this covers and was three so i thought he won't be in diapers much longer and just switched to disposables. but 6 months later ( a bit less then that actually) he is showing no signs of wanting to use the toilet at all and i am thinking maybe of just getting some bigger covers. BUT i don't want him in a panic because they don't feel like his diapers any more.
so some things i think might be stressing him out and this is how it is manifesting itself. 1.) we moved across the country this summer 2.) i am pregnant and expecting in less then three months 3.) he weaned. and although i would love to nurse him again, my nipples are hurting so much and i can't stand even wearing a bra most of the time. so starting that up before the baby comes is probably not gonna happen.
day in and day out he is fine, no issues at all... except this one thing.
any ideas/help would be really great. we just have never had this issue with any of the other kids.
