DD who has just turned 4 and has been fully toilet trained since the age of two and a half has in the past 3 weeks pooed in her pants/night nappy 3 times. The first two times happened early eve and one of these was because she couldn't get her night nappy off on time. yesteday afternoon she pooed in her pants just b4 getting to the loo and was completely matter of fact about it. She said she just didn't get there in time.

I didn't get cross but I was very firm about it not being acceptable. I am worried though. Her normal routine has been upset by a lot of excitement over Xmas and her birthday including a party which she cried through most of. has anyone else experienced this? thanks!

Is she constipated?

Sounds very much like she has witheld until she couldn't hold on and thus,causing the accidents,no doubt all the excitement over christmas and her birthday has upset her routine ,like you said.
