Toileting Regression - Any Advice?

Hi - I know how frustrating this can be. We had the exact same thing with our august 21 girly too! After her baby brother was born she started having accidents when he was about 3/4 months old. It was always in nursery and the teachers would say oh she didn’t make it as she was busy playing. We tried everything but nothing worked. Till my husband tried this trick “ I want to take you to so and so park/shop after I pick you but we can’t go if you peed as you’d be abit smelly and uncomfortable so we would have to come home”. From that day she stopped having any as she was excited to go with her dad. We kept up with that for 1 week. Then she got used to not peeing again. Been 2 months we haven’t had any accidents. Good luck. I know it sounds annoying but it’s not going to last forever. X
Thanks both, it’s good to know I’m not on my own with it! Will try and be more consistent with the big praise when she uses the toilet, just very difficult to ignore the blasé attitude from her when she knows what she’s done 😅 we’ve said to her that we can go to peppa pig world when she stops having accidents, perhaps I need to go back to basics with a sticker chart or similar for accident free days so that she has a visual!
We had this a few months ago with our little boy. Was about 3/4 months after his sister was born and coincided with lots of tantrums and terrible sleep. I reckon it’s all developmental - we had a rough few weeks before it passed. I’m very impatient so would get really frustrated but we found that ignoring accidents and big praise for using the toilet helped. Back to basics.
