Potty Training & Wean of Formula

Question

My son has turned 3 years old September 2025. He is able to tell me when he is peeing or pooping ( in his diaper ) - usually when he is doing it or once he is done HOWEVER refuses to try and sit on the toilet bowl to poop or pee when i asked if he is willing to ( just to pre amp him & give abit of encouragement). Just bought potty charts,  potty for training & training pants ( not sure if this would make him feel like he is wearing a diaper ). Im very anxious to start on this journey and would want some tips from mummies or daddies which has gone through this phase. How can i ease this process? Also, trying to wean him off his formula milk ( doesnt like drinking other milk other than padiasure for morning , nap and bedtime ). Noted i should stop his nap milk but for morning and bedtime will have a slight issue. I am not sure which i should prioritise first as correct me if im wrong, its best not to do at the same time as meal routine/ schedule will also change and this will be overwhelming with potty training in the process. So need help here ! Which one do i prioritise first :,) Open to alot of recommendations and suggestions!!!!Thank you all ! :,( #Needadvice #askmommies #askingmom

please make 1 goal at a time. if you want to do potty training, then focus on that first. for the first days, my boy cried to sit on the toilet. I only manage to make him sit for 1 or 2 mins. After that, he will start to shout and cry to sit on toilet bowl. but every day, I will remind him by saying he must poop in the toilet. then one day I give his favourite YouTube video on the phone and make him sit on the toilet bowl. almost after 20mins he pooped. after 1st time poop I reward with his favourite toys. then almost after 3 poop he used to go to the toilet and every time I would praise him.
