Potty training trouble
Show your support
I would go to the doctor, just to rule out any physical cause, as it’s been such a long time! My little boy (who is about a year older), started having accidents for a few months after our second arrived and then it sorted itself out again.
I was gonna say , no underwear or pampers/pullups on through the day. This Ofcourse means she can’t go anywhere outside the house. But I doubt she will want to just blatantly pee on the floor. Maybe then she will give in and start using the potty since that the only option lol 🤷🏽♀️
This is a strange thought but have you considered maybe trying to catch baby’s pee in the toilet and then praising him? Elimination training I believe is what they call it. I wonder if this will spark her interest again.
Thank you ladies, this was all so validating and helpful
Maybe take away the underwear (you'll run out soon anyway, sheesh) and give her pull ups until she shows progress. Put all the underwear out of sight in a closet so she's not fighting you after every change. Let her know underwear will return when she is making it to the potty and the pull ups stay dry. Let her run around bottomless for a few hours in protest. It's chilly, so hopefully, it won't last too long. Hold up the pull ups and say, "This is what we have right now." Say you wish it didn't have to be this way, you know she can do a good job, and you believe in her but kids that pee in their clothes aren't ready for underwear and you're going to help her while she gets back on track. Reread the old potty books to reinforce that message. Maybe tell her she can pick out new ones herself from the store when she's ready to be back in underwear. Also, I'm sorry this is happening. 5 months is a lot of extra laundry while you're also caring for a newborn.
