DCB is 3 years 5 months and started with me when he was 12 months. He is very smart and very hard headed.
I have built in bathroom breaks/diapers changes into our schedule every 1.5 hours. DCB is almost always wet and he almost always pees in the toilet. Kid is VERY hydrated ::
For the past few weekends at home he has been wearing underwear and has remained dry. Including errands. Yesterday he was dry here the entire day. Today it is back to square one.
Usually a child remains in a diaper or pull up here for 2 weeks accident free then they graduate to wearing underwear. Do you think this may be a situation where he is going in his diaper because he knows he has a diaper on? Usually I am of the mindset that a true potty trained child will not wet themselves regardless of what they are wearing. But I am wondering if he is the odd one out where he truly does need to be in underwear. Was thinking of trying him in underwear with a pull up or plastic pants on top for a few days and seeing if it makes a difference? Is this a bad idea?
FWIW: mom is putting no pressure on him or me for the child to be in underwear. But I kind of feel like he can, he just doesn't want to?
