Help potty trainings gone to pot
I potty trained my 3 year old in November and after a slow start she took to it really well and we had basically cracked it at home, in nursery and out and about.
Since January however we have taken a complete back step and it’s like day one again. Constant accidents. Not even trying to go to the loo and just letting herself piss herself.
I am trying to stay calm but it’s so frustrating and I’m constantly cleaning clothes and blankets. She’s coming home from nursery having had 4 accidents!
I just don’t know what to do. This has been going on for two weeks now and seems to be getting worse

I suggest making a gp appointment to rule out other causes aswell as checking in with the nursery to see if there has been any changes to her daily routine that may have caused an emotional response but stick in there mama I know it’s frustrating x
Yeah I'd second a visit to the GP, just to check there's no underlying condition/water infection that could make her more prone to wetting herself. I know we had a few accidents when she moved to preschool, but after a couple of days she was back to normal. No harm in checking.

Yeah, it takes a while. We started in May, and she still has accidents regularly, just like 1 usually, but I've definitely had days where she had like 4 accidents at nursery. She generally does better at home than nursery. She's even had phases of doing it on purpose at nursery 🤦🏽♀️ seems to be doing much better since Christmas though, usually 0 or 1 a day. When we started in May she had periods of no accidents, could self-initiate from day 1. Yet here we are 🤷🏽♀️
