We did pants but took her regularly until she got used to taking them up and down and knowing it's not a nappy.
My twins went commando first, I still put on nappies after bath and when we go out, but now they’ll let me know if they want pee pee or poo
How I did it is take them to the potty every 20-30 minutes then they should start to get the hang of it, took a few days but got there in the end ☺️
I did, naked, then commando, then pants. I also read that pants feel too much like a nappy so I waited for him to know what he's doing before adding them X
The book I've read, said after they are good naked, go commando until they've got that and then put pants on. I hope that helps! Pants are quite tight so can feel like a nappy.
