To be at my wits end. Toileting issues

DD is 3 and 4 months. Today she wet herself 6 times. We have been potty training since before Christmas 2015. Last summer we thought she had got the hang of it. She was mostly dry with just occasional accidents etc.

She relapsed massively when she started nursery but with lots of support (at home and at nursery, with stickers, treats etc) she was managing much better. But since Christmas it's been awful. We have seen the GP and the health visitor and they believe that, because she can do it sometimes, it's not a physical issue.

Mostly we try hard to celebrate the positives and ignore the accidents but it's getting to me and I have got cross with her today. She has told me that "it's easier" to wet than to go to the loo. Yesterday she said she wanted nappies like her brother 14months.

Nursery (schoolbased) have been pretty patient with it up to now - sometimes she is wetting 2-3 times in a 3 hour session. Her teacher today was very fed up about it and said she is just being lazy - which I can't disagree with.

Any ideas or suggestions?

She's generally fairly good with poos. Although if she gets at all constipated then it's a disaster. She's not too bothered about being wet but hates being dirty. She will even tell me she needs a poo whereas she won't for a wee.
