I usually prepare for developmental changes, but the potty thing struck without warning. All advice needed.
So, my ds, 28M, decide 2 days ago that he wanted to wear underwear. o.k - no problem. He's used the potty a few times on his own. He likes to sit on it and try. And, a few times he's initiated it and actually used it. So, I'm thinking, this makes sense, he's interested, he's used it, etc.
So, I let him wear the underwear. I explain the underwear won't hold the pee and poo in the same way as a diaper and that he'll need to use the potty. Might be too much info for 2 year old, but you never know, he's understood more complex things.
Anyhow, in the past 24 hours, it's been no stop accidents. I'm o.k with that part.
I'm just not sure what to do next. Should I stop using diapers (except night). Should I let him choose? Should I have him wear them when we go out. We live in a major city, and I have no idea how to negotiate this city with a toddler in underwear.
I've really let him initiate most changes. He self-weaned, decided when he'd sleep through the night, etc. So, my inclination is to let him take the lead.
You get the idea. I need advice!
Thanks!
