Previously toilet trained 3 year onetime suddenly having daily 'accidents'
(21 Posts)
My 3 yr old DD has been toilet trained for 9 months and after the initial few weeks, she has had no toileting accidents.
However in the last 4 weeks or then she has been wetting herself multiple times each day. Near of the fourth dimension this occurs when she's standing right in front of the toilet, so it's as though she just isn't getting there in fourth dimension. She is wetting herself both at home and nursery.
Nothing has changed in her life so there are no obvious reasons like stress etc. I have taken a urine sample to the GP in instance it was an infection but it was articulate.
She volition frequently sit in damp underwear rather than say she's wet, so her pare is starting to go red and irritated. I am request constantly if she needs the toilet.
She drinks loads and often tin can need some other wee 5 minutes after her last and so does need to employ the bathroom a lot. Could it exist diabetes related? Nosotros have no family history of it.
Has anyone'due south kid regressed like this? How long did it last and what did yous exercise, if anything? Thank you for any ideas.

Yes my dd did regress. She wanted to clothing pants at 2.2 so I went with information technology,and subsequently weeks of daily accidents she did become on we'll nod went a few weeks without an accident. Then when she was abut 2.8 she started weeping again, much to my frustration.
Evidently it's only a phase, dds nursery said it's quite common and they practice regress. I just tried to sty calm with hr,non to make an issue of it, and now she hasn't had an accident for weeks.
I hope it passes for y'all before long x
Deplorable just read that dorsum And the mistakes are terrible!!
She started weeing, not weeping!
I trained my DD at 20 months at her instigation and she is at present 26 months. She's done well but every few weeks she'll accept a calendar week or and then of accidents. It really bugs me because I inquire if she needs to and she insists she doesn't then wets herself 10 minutes later. Then I stop up taking charge and telling her to go.....But so she isn't learning to listen to her torso. She tells me she needs to go about 70% of the time.
I'll exist honest, often it seems to be laziness, considering she's playing with her cousins and doesn't want to finish. If I brand no fuss, she volition keep doing it sometimes 3 times a mean solar day. If I tell her off, the accidents stop .....this totally goes confronting the grain of not making a big deal of accidents though so I'm really confused! The non making a big deal hasn't worked for me at all!
Is she sitting long enough to cease her wee properly.Some brilliant/nosey little ones don't fully empty their bladders just take the top off so to speak hence the accidents.Y'all could encourage her to practise a twirl if it'due south safety ie her tights are not around her ankles.Basically do her wee,go up do a twirl and sit back downward to finish off this causes any wee caught in bladder ridges to come down and encourages children to empty fully.Another common problem is constipation,Is she pooing once a 24-hour interval a soft sausage like poo considering a bowel full of poo presses down and can crusade wee accidents.Also bribery utilise a star conversation for dry pants minimise the wet and choose a sensible reward together.Hope this helps.
Busy piffling girl syndrome.
Endeavor to behave dry undies checks -- ask her to check if her undies are dry out about every half 60 minutes. It will seem similar nagging, but endeavor to keep it lighthearted. You are aiming to tell her that keeping dry is better than being all wet. At that place could be a petty bribe at the end of the solar day for a twenty-four hours with dry undies. Or a sticker. Do high fives if the undies are dry, and a hug for getting to the loo on fourth dimension. This is positive attention for desirable results.
If she has an blow, support her in a spirit of kindness and very gently, merely accept her do all wet clothing removal with perhaps a lilliputian aid from you, and so have her mop the floor using windolene and newspaper towel, and have her put her wet things in a laundry basket and put on new clothes after wiping herself with a baby wipe. Accidents shouldn't lead to more attention of the babying variety. The general aim is to continue moving forward into Big Girl state, and taking care of yourself and the mess after an blow, with gentle support from a parent, reinforces that.
Do some practise runs after each blow. Get dorsum to the game or wherever she was when she had the accident or when she first set off for the loo, and say 'Oh I need to go to the loo. I need to go up right abroad and hurry there' and then hurry with her. Repeat a few times without really peeling downwardly the pants and using the loo unless she needs to go..
Also, on the practical side, make sure she is able to get her pants or tights and underwear downward easily -- with more apparel involved when the weather gets colder, toddlers trained in warm weather sometimes have difficulty. Perchance invest in a few loose/ rubberband waist sweatpants and put away whatsoever jeans that are tighter or have zips or buttons.
Too, is she drinking plainly water or milk, or juice/fruit beverage/squash?
If she is drinking a lot of juice/fruit beverage/squash, dilute it and gradually cut dorsum. I was shocked to see how much saccharide DD1 was getting in her favourite apple juice. It was making her more thirsty and nosotros had a vicious circle going for a while..
Thank you all for your replies, I call up it helps just knowing your not the only i dealing with various kid rearing issues!
She does drinkable quite a bit of (very dilute) squash at home, though simply h2o/milk at plant nursery. I will try cut dorsum on that as it tin can't hurt.
I also am going to endeavour the reward nautical chart thought, I hadn't even thought of doing this, don't know why it didn't occur to me, simply I think she may respond well to a reward based incentive.
We take had a dry day so far today so I'g hoping information technology continues!
Ok so I'm also going down the reward chart route after ii accidents today. I don't know what to do! I'm getting so discouraged as she's had accidents all summer, only mostly at other peoples houses and not our ain...being the holidays meant lots of interaction with other kids. I know I trained early but she got information technology after 3 weeks and there was definitely a point where I was confident information technology was done....just it just seems similar she doesn't even care anymore. She cares if I go cross, but just because I'm cantankerous. I'thou so fed upwardly! With accidents 2-3 times a week it doesn't justify returning to nappies or pull ups and I really really practice not want to.....merely when volition they end?!!
Ok feel a bit ameliorate having read upwardly on regression and how common information technology is, especially when working on new skills......
Information technology'south frustrating isn't it Givemecaffeine
If you remember, delight mail service dorsum when your DD goes dorsum to staying dry every bit I'm interested to know how long this may go on for!
My DD had damp underwear earlier but hadn't washed a full wee - I think that I find that more abrasive though as she'll happily sit like that until I notice and she ends up sore which isn't not bad but she doesn't seem to get the connexion yet.
That's what I accept - no full on puddles, just moisture knickers .... Often doesn't fifty-fifty get through, just plenty to alter her trousers likewise every bit it smells. I've made a actually clear reward chart with a photo of her, a toilet, and above information technology a photo of her reward once the chart is full (a Peppa DVD).
I don't think you can say you are done and dusted with potty training until a kid is well-nigh 3 or even older and really, really reliable, even if the new habit took off well at first.
It's really frustrating when you remember you take sorted it all out and have congratulated yourself on a task well done, but try not to get mad when accidents happen. It's rarely the case that children do this on purpose, and accidents are not an barb to your initial teaching approach. Endeavour to expect at the whole concern of potty grooming as a continuing didactics effort on your function instead of a once off training period, and conceptualize that the initial lesson will need periodic reinforcement and formal practice. Information technology'due south not like learning to ride a bike, something that simply gets hardwired into your brain and you never forget it. There is so much else going on, developmentally speaking, and oft upheavals like babies added to the family, new staff at nursery, etc., that makes information technology a challenge for small children to keep all the balls in the air at once.
Thank you mathanxiety that is very sound advice! I've taken a super-encouraging approach this afternoon and she's done actually well...better than always in terms of enthusiasm really. It's an ongoing process as you say.
We've had two phases over the summer of DD pooing in her pants after beingness clean and dry out for over a year. Bloody horrible, and frustrating!
Star nautical chart is working for us over the last fortnight, only you have my sympathy, it'southward (literally) shit.
Adamanteve the advantage chart is going well ... she have been dry since it went up yesterday afternoon! I made information technology articulate she'd become 2 stickers if she stayed dry at nursery today and she did 
. The other thing I've washed is ordered a double footstep; she wants to take herself but the single step isn't big plenty as she'southward petite, and I think needing me every fourth dimension frustrates her as she really wants to go, wipe herself, flush & launder hands unaided. She's fabricated this pretty clear so I'm trying to give her independence in every area I can whilst waiting for the steps to arrive. Nosotros accept really high basins so even if she can go on the loo she probably won't be able to reach the bowl for some other yr on the single stride. Thank goodness for amazon!
My 3yo DD did this at the offset of the summertime. Actually annoying. She got over information technology, and is now fab again.
I seem to remember her older siblings doing something similar. I call back it's partly just getting bored after the initial novelty of going to the toilet - it stops existence in the forefront of their minds, they ignore the signs they need to go considering they're occupied with something else, just more often than not tin't exist bothered, and so it all goes to pot a scrap.
I would reduce sugary drinks and stick with patently water/milk. I remember sugar messes upwards urine product/signals rather - hence needing lots of small wee's instead of more exceptional bigger ones.
Star chart / rewards might increase involvement over again. And just full general growing older/maturity will aid likewise.
I also call back that toilet-training is an ongoing process over many months/years, rather than a short, sharp phase. From no control/sensation as a infant, to the total control/awareness of an older kid/developed is a long journey.
Howdy, never posted before simply AdamantEve post several years ago is but affair I've plant that describes what I'm experiencing with my DD. She 2 1/4 and I trained her 3 months ago every bit she was taking nappy off. It clicked in a week and we had two-3 months of no accidents, thinking information technology was task done (how lightheaded of me!). Two weeks ago she went from appearing completely trained to now never going for wee without an accident. She doesn't exercise total wee just she goes a bit so undies damp then says she weed and we go to potty to terminate off. Poos are still ok she goes to potty. Information technology's like she cant tell she needs to wee anymore. Urine sample all clear.
Cant recall of anything that's triggered it so not sure what to do. Wondered what happened in cases of people who posted on here previously, is there light at cease if tunnel!
Sbram just wondering how you got on as nosotros're in this verbal situation! Trained just earlier 2 years old, in just one weekend, no accidents for months so of a sudden wet pants every single time she needed a wee, and this has now been going on for a year!! It'due south driving me mad. I remind her to go all the fourth dimension but she has a complete meltdown if I try to get her to use the potty and insists she doesn't need a wee, fifty-fifty if she has wet pants. Reward charts work for a mean solar day or two, and then she gets bored of them. Whatsoever tips very gratefully received!
Allforava - sad with all the covid stuff going on I didnt run across your postal service and so just stumbled across it whilst still looking for advice on this. Not skillful news from my side, still no improvement after a year of accidents now. How are you getting on?
