yet and still

Please are these sentences OK?:

My son still needs nappies. (It means: He cannot use the potty yet. He still cannot use the potty.)

Does your son still need nappies? XXX Does your son need nappies yet? /It has probably different meaning, hasn´t it. The second sentence is probably a nonsense, isn´t it?

- What about: Does your son need a potty yet?/ Does your son already need a potty?

My son doesn´t need nappies any more. (It means: He can already use the potty.)

Thank you for your answer Mowgli
