[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Need to just do the boot camp over a weekend (take a day or two off work if needed) and get rid of the diapers!! 
Make a chart for her to mark off if he went or not. If nanny isn’t experienced in this department, highly suggest having you take the lead and take time off work until he is successfully going.

Op here, we tried the weekend boot camp and it didn't with. He shows no interest in seating on the potty and refuses. We are pulling hair. We tried underwear and he is happy to sit on his underpants with shit in it.

This is our third attempt in 6 months and hoping now that he is almost three it might click 🤞[/quote]

He is not ready. All you can do is incentivize him to sit regularly (treats? Screen time?) and talk about potty / have him observe you regularly until he’s willing to at least sit.

I don’t know about poop, but does he freak out when he pees? Is he an only child? I have potty trained 3 kids - each process was very different and I failed once with my highly anxious kiddo - but did the boot camp method with each. Lots of patience, m&ms, stickers, etc.

I let my kids watch the iPad while sitting on potty during boot camp and force fed them liquids (juice, sparkling water, stuff I wouldn’t regularly give) to create more opportunities.

Hang in there, it sucks. I just potty trained my last and while she picked it up pretty quickly I was absolutely tearing my hair out at the end of day 1. She gave no warnings she was about to pee and just did it 🤣 it was terrible and so frustrating. I took 3 days off when my nanny was around so I could follow her around with the potty while the nanny helped the older kids / did all housework. [/quote]
