Our 22.5 mnth old DD started potty training about 10 weeks ago at 20 mths with support of brilliant nursery and took about 3 weeks to be consistently dry. All was going well with just the odd accident but since early Jan we've had the regression everyone talks about on these forums ie more consistent wetting (never poo) of her knickers, refusal to go to the potty then weeing herself moments later etc etc. This happens when at home and occasionally at nursery (3 days per week) but never when out and about. Anyway, I am working this through and it's to be expected as I am due to have baby 2 soon so whilst it's frustrating (and creates loads of extra washing) I am sure it will pass.
But I wonder if anyone has advice on this part of it - for about the same period of time she has been waking up really early (was sleeping til 6.30/7 and now it's anywhere from 5) saying she wants the potty. We've tried explaining that it's OK to wee in her nappy at nighttime (and she does during the night) but at this waking stage she is determined she wants the potty and when we take her, she does always do a big wee. I feel like I am confusing her by saying you are a big girl and use the potty during the day but weeing in your nappy is OK at night? Any advice welcome as she (and we) are so tired with this early waking as she is then wide awake and won't go back to sleep. And I wonder if I'm making the daytime regression worse by not dealing with the early morning issue as well as I could?
