    He's still quite young for any type of potty training, so I'd be happy that he's peeing in the potty, and let him take the next step when HE is ready.

    It's not 'going backwards' to let him poop in a nappy.

    I agree with Pippin. Pushing him too hard can make it even more nerve racking to do a poo in the potty. At while he's under 3 I think it's ok that he's still in nappies. Boys generally take longer to train anyway.

    But keep taking him when you go, and talk to him about going on the potty, and praise him a lot when he wees in it. Other idea to help is a sticker chart? You could do every time he goes on the potty, or every day he doesn't wear a nappy or something.

    My son is the same age and had the same issue with pooping on the toilet. He would wait until he had a pull-up (night time) or steal one from the bag and put it on to poop. Meanwhile he was more then happy to pee on the toilet. I just waited him out and about a month ago he started pooping on the toilet just fine. I don't even know what made the change, I consistently asked him if he needed to poop on the toilet, especially when I knew he needed to go, I let him read books and even a couple shows on my tablet while sitting on the potty. One day he just went and that was that.

    As frustrating as it is, stay positive and don't force him to do anything he isn't ready to do yet.

    You need to put the Nappy's away and, tell hem no more Nappy's, you will use the toilet, and give hem pull ups. When he go's to bed, let hem sleep with the pull ups. but if he ask for the nappy's say no. Every hour you ask hem if he needs to use the bathroom. soon he'll get used to using the bathroom, just give it some time.

    His kidneys are not fully developed. Be patient. Later on allow him to go bare-butt in the house so when he feels the urge he just has to go to the pot.

    Encourage him by sitting with him and make up stories. Soon he will relax enough for it to come.
