Potty training

Regressing!

My nearly three year old daughter has been potty trained for 6 months and keeps having phases where she regresses and just keeps having accidents and wetting herself. It's three or four times a day and almost seems like she doesn't care. I am at my wits end - what can I do? Should I be cross, should I ignore it and not react, should I only let her have small drinks spread through the day, should I try to make her see that it's disgusting and say it's dirty, should I put her back in nappies? Such a nuisance as she has gone months no problems at all. Help!!! I'm at my wits end.

Hiiiiii this exact same thing happened to me we were potty trained completely for about 6 months completely and utterly sorted or so I thought then she wet herself every bloody day without fail and at nursery too just totally regressed I don't really have any tips we just persiviered and went back to asking her and taking her to the toilet religiously again they say it's quite common for them to crack it then regress poppy did it again later when she went through change it doesn't last tho so don't worry they do completely stop lol xxx

Stay calm and supportive, exclude infection as a factor. Continue to offer lots of drinks. Consider whether she might be constipated/impacted. Seek medical advice and use the Eric helpline but please don’t reprimand her-she’s very little...

Thanks so much for both your help I will certainly let take it on board and keep calm about it. She's done so well to now so I know she can do it. It's hard to keep calm in the midst of it all but good advice. She is really little still - I think because her language is so good sometimes we assume she is so grown up but she's a baby really. Thank you xxx
