Ds is 2.7 and on day 6 of potty training. First 4 days were good, 1-2 accidents a day but mostly all wees were in the potty or toilet. Day 5 was actually a totally dry day, and we went out and about morning and afternoon. Great, I thought. But today has been a nightmare. 2 big accidents this morning even though he'd had a wee within the last 20 mins, and then another one just now even though he'd again had a wee 10 mins ago. What's going on? He hasn't been drinking excessively and isn't tired/ill.
In case it's relevant, he's not yet at the stage of telling me he needs a wee but I am putting him on the loo at least every hour (more if he seems to have drunk a lot in one go) and if I ask if he needs the loo, and he does, he quite happily goes off with me to the toilet. Other times he says no, so I leave it. So I thought he was recognising the sensation of needing a wee, and learning to hold one in, even if he wasn't proactively asking to go, if that makes sense.
Any advice?! I'd rather not abandon things as he was doing so well, but obviously don't want to waste all our time if it's best to give it a rest for a while.
One thing that has occurred to me is that he hasn't pooed today, though he's needed one, and I don't know if that can interfere with the bladder control? He isn't yet able to poo in the toilet (he does try bless him but I think is so used to doing it standing up), so up until now he was still pooing every day but in a nappy. But he hasn't today.
