Hi, I have just joined in the hope someone can help. I started training my daughter straight to knicks in May last year when she was 2.6. She was relatively good within 3 weeks with a few accidents a week but was never totally dry i.e, dribbled in knicks a bit first and then would ask for toilet every time. She was great with poo straight off.

She surprised us by becoming totally dry overnight within a month of starting, waking herself to ask for toilet in the early hours. After a month of this we took her nighttime nappy off and celebrated. Suddenly, in early October she began wetting the bed every night two or three times, we waited it out but after six weeks of every night we put her back into nappies overnight. We didn't acknowledge it, just put it on to no complaints.She has continued to wee in her nappy since.

This doesn't worry me, however during this period she has gradually become worse through the day, I have changed her four times today. She seems to be conscious of needing to wee as starts to dance, but will refuse to go saying she doesn't need to, at this point there will already be wee in her pants and she will sometimes suddenly concede and finish in the loo/potty. Other times she says I am weeing and empties where she is.

I was initially very praising when she got there, so tried that again and reintroduced the potty into the room we were in. She fights and screams if i force her and wets 5 mins later. I have tried being silent, saying well done and am now unable to hide my frustration and have made it clear she needs to go when she needs to.It breaks my heart that she checks her knickers herself when we are getting on to the loo and says sorry when they are wet. She has started pooing (hard stools) on the floor when I am not there and seems humiliated when she tells me..... Sorry for the long post but.... HELP please marriage may depend upon it!

p.s, she has urinary reflux so have sent a urine sample in which was negative and is on daily Trimethoprim antibiotics to prevent UTI
