Potty training.. Accident every day.

We've come a long way since the beginning of July. My little one is 2 yrs and 9 months. Beg of July he was weeing 20 times a day. He was at first keen and eager to sit on the potty and then he devoloped resistance. Not surprising probably as having to sit on it 20 times a day would piss anyone off!

I backed off a bit. He was in pull ups and I just waited for him to tell me he needed a wee, rather than reminding him. It was going okay. He was doing a few wees on the potty and some in his pull ups.

We carried on with pull ups and he pretty much became bowel trained. I started to put him on potty again and now he wees about 8/9 times a day. He was having dry pull ups quite often, but he has stopped asking to go and relies on me to put him in potty. We put him in pants. He was happy to be in pants. He was clearly holding his wee even though he still want asking to go. He is still asking when he needs a pooh.

He started off really well. First week he probably had 3 dry days and 4 with one accident. Then this week he seems to have declined. He is having more accidents (particularly over last two days) and even had a pooh accident (he's been reliable with this for 4 weeks).

I don't know what to do. He won't ask to go anymore (for a wee), even though in the very early stages. He is usually having one accident a day and has got worse recently. He was there with poohs and now i feel he's getting worse in terms of this too.

His speech has come on massively in the last two days. He's making a big effort to talk to us properly particularly in the last few days. I'm wondering if this could have an impact on potty training.

Any advice?

I don't want to take pants off! He's been dry for a week. Hes holding more and more and occasionally does a Jig to tell me he needs to go. I don't put him on potty often. He just needs to start telling me again, I believe it will come. For anyone who doesn't want to do the o crap method (it seems to be all the rage at the mo and I absolutely hate it). Pull ups and pants have so far worked okay for us. I've certainly heard of lots of people having to to and fro from no pants to pants over and over before their kids finally got it. Why not go straight to pants in that case.

Just a quick update. He's now been dry two weeks. He's asked once by just saying wee wee. He's also doing a dance and has started to pull his trousers down when he needs to go. He's not always fully communicating via words, but he's telling me some how. I feel like we're done now, he's ettong there in terms of asking. I'm so proud of my boy. 😍

@Rubyroost I'm pleased it has worked out for you. I'm.not sure why you hate OCIPT if you haven't tried it though. It is all the rage because it makes sense and it really works. We certainly didn't to amd fro with karts at all. Vare bottom, command, pants. No accidents. No pull ups. You asked for advice and people took time to answer you with things they felt would help you.

@Cutesbabasmummy who said I hadn't tried it?! I hate it and my friend who did it, she said it really worked. But her daughter was constantly having accidents months and months later. I know of some peooke who had to keep going back to naked or keep going back to commando. I don't think it's the best method at all, and theres many other options that work just as well. If you want to do activities with your toddler (or don't want piss on your carpet) and go out etc I just don't think it is practical

Also, the last bit of advice was given after I updated and said he'd been dry for a week. Why would I want to take pants off 🤔🙄
