Because everyone (all 2.5-3 years old) in his daycare classroom is either potty trained already or working on potty training, so all kids are either in underwear or pull ups, and no more diapers allowed. The daycare requires every kids have to be potty trained by the end of this year, otherwise they can't move up to the 3 year old classroom in the spring.

Ask the teachers what they think will help for at school and go back to diapers at home. Buy a small pack of larger pull-ups to try out as an experiment. my daycare I think is like this - pull-ups only in the 2-3 classroom but since they have to deal with poop at school worth getting their input. If they are telling you he is not ready and needs a break from potty training, I would listen. Nothing is gained by entering a power struggle in this area and a lot can be lost.

Wow there are a lot of nasty women answering on this forum. Husbands don’t listen to your nagging anymore so now you have to be rude to strangers on the internet? Losers.

Just go up a size. Unless his poop is liquid, the absorbency between diaper and pull up shouldn’t matter. A bigger pull up will leave more room for big poops.

Just to add - also big poops can be a sign of constipation. Need to get a handle on any constipation for toilet training to be successful.

The OP posted this almost 5 years ago. I certainly hope her kid is fully potty trained by now!

Switch back to regular diapers and take a break. He’s not the only 3 year old who needs more time.

I don’t know where people are from on here but in Canada-Child care is extremely hard to find- not everyone can Willy nilly change their child care because they’re in the process of potty training. The facility obviously knew the child was a work in progress on acceptance otherwise they would’ve denied OP childcare in the first place due to the ‘must be trained rule’. Anyway, no advice to give here- I came in search of advice for starting to train my 21month old as I’m a FTM. Goodluck OP! I wish you and your babe all the best on thing journey 🙏🏻

Good lord. Necro much?

This kid would be 8 years old now.

Have him go naked from the waist down this weekend and get him potty trained. Lots of bribes/incentives. Barring special needs 3 year olds should be in underwear.
