How often does your nearly 4 year old still wet themselves?

DS is 3.11 yrs
He has been potty trained for over a year now.
He wets himself at least twice a week I'd say, sometimes a fair bit more.
He occasionally poos himself too.

Is this usual?

dd never does during the day, but still has the odd nightime accident. not sure if girls find it easier?

My ds is a month younger than yours and has been potty trained for nearly a year.

He doesn't do full on wetting himself accidents but probably have to change his pants 2 or 3 times a week because he's dribbled abit due to leaving it to the last possible minute.

I don't think it is that unusual based on my friends dc.

ds2 is 4 in december and wets himself atleast 2 times a day.it can be every wee he does in pants though.he wears nappies at night.
he never has a poo accident though.

it really gets to meim constantly scrubbing the settee and cushions.

She has sn and am getting nowhere with potty training

My DS1 is 3.9 and we're still having accidents. It happens particularly when he's playing and forgets and sometimes when he's frightened or hurt himself.

Thankfully haven't had a poo accident in a long time.

It's frustrating isn't it? DS1 often just doesn't seem to care [grrr]

nancy - nighttime - I laugh! We're not even remotely thinking about nappy off at night, it's normally so wet I could ring it out in the morning!

dd rarely has an accident - maybe once every six months or so.

MmeLindt · 27/08/2009 21:33

At that age both dd and ds were still having accidents around once to twice a week, sometimes more often.

They are now 7 yo (dd) and 5yo (ds) and still ds has the odd accident if he is too immersed in a game.

It is not unusual at that age.

pigeonpie-ds doesn't care either.people have said to leave him in wet pants for a bit,but he would happily play all day in wet pants.he tends to be naked at home because then he goes potty/toilet more .

PigeonPie · 27/08/2009 22:05

and what worries me is that he gets sore and I think it's exacerbated by having wet pants and trousers, but he just won't listen! Hey ho

cheesesarnie · 27/08/2009 22:09

just glad ds isnt the only one!hes mostly fine at cm's and nursery.its me

I can't remember the last time he wet his pants but he is still in nappies at night. He is 4.2
