Wetting "Accidents"

4 replies

Hi, I'd appreciate some advice please. My DD is 3.5 years old. DD was successfully potty trained up until November last year. DD attends playgroup 3 days a week and has been at the same playgroup for nearly 2 years. DD is also with a childminder for drop off and the two other days. In November last year DD playgroup informed us that DD may have a urine infection as she was frequently going to the toilet or having "accidents". We took her doctors who gave us a course of antibiotics at the time and all was ok - however ever since then DD has had frequent accidents to the point where the playgroup advised she was re-potty trained. Which we did over Christmas - and was fine! However when DD is with childminder or playgroup she frequently has accidents and had increasingly got worse over the last few weeks. The childminder frequently puts "pull ups" on DD which doesn't help and clearly confuses DD even though I advised I would prefer this didn't happen. I have asked the health visitor as well and she said it is difficult if you have mixed childcare and understood the issues we were having but couldn't advise of anything else. We also took DD to doctors today just to make sure there isn't a “control” problem and was told very very unlikely. Any help would be appreciated.

Make sure that both childcare places are giving her plenty of drinks as this helps to train the bladder to hold more fluid.
It could be that she is engrossed in activities and not going to the toilet. Ask the to take her a regular intervals (like a timetable) and see if that makes a difference.
If you have said no pull ups then the childminder should respect that and not put her in pull ups!
There is a really good childrens continence website with loads of good tips and advice

Great advice above. Did your GP also check that she doesn't have another infection?

yes thanks for advice - why the health visitor or doctors cant raise awareness of support groups is beyond me! I will call them on Monday. No doc didn't check for infection again.

If she's had one course of antibiotics and she's struggling again with wetting, I'd phone on Monday and ask if she can be tested.
