[quote=Anonymous]It does seem like a lot of accidents. Maybe the daycare keeps him too busy, and he doesn’t get the chance to go because he feels like he’s stuck doing an activity. I’d ask if they are actually prompting him to go in between activities, and not let him decide. Eventually he should feel comfortable enough to say I need to go I potty on his own. 
As for my experience also as a FTM, I trained DS this summer a few months after turning 2. I didn’t use any sort of book, and just went along with what made more sense for us/him. He had about 1 or 2 accidents a day in the first week, but it gradually dropped to 1 or 2 a week in the first month. Pooping was the easier part, he’s only had about 2 or 3 total poop accidents. Maybe he thought it was a fart, but pooped instead, IDK.

Another thing is, how many layer are you putting on him? When we first started he was bottomless, then we did just pants or underwear (with a soft waist band that he can easily pull down), and after about 1 month we started with underwear and pants. That said he is not in a daycare and we have an out of home nanny as his caregiver. He would get a lot of prompting early on. We are now 2 months in and he easily goes potty on his own at home. But when we are out and about, we do go to the restroom about every hour or so just in case he needs to go. He is less likely to say he needs to potty outside, probably because he has no idea where to go. [/quote]
