Advice needed please re wetting!

[notnowbernard]

Ok, dd1 is 4.3

Has been reliably and consistently dry since about 3.4-5m (sometimes wets if poorly etc)

For the last week or so has been wetting in the day. Not 'full-on' accidents, but leaving it too late, wet enough for knickers to have to be changed. She realises and goes to the toilet.

I'm pretty sure it's not a UTI (she's had one before) as it's only happening once a day, the other day twice. She has had periods of regression before, whilst training, but not for AGES.

What approach to take?

Ignore?
Reward chart?
'Punishment'? (ie toy-removal)

Am stuck, and thought all this malarkey was over long ago!!!

I've been having this problem for 4 months now with my DD. She was totally dry night and day then in November stared having the 3-4 small accidents a day exactly as you all describe above. Have considered the UTI but don't think so because she never has accidents at nursery, just at home when she has to share mummy with DS. Have tried everything from star charts, begging, cajoling, bribery, and have now just decided to just completely ignore - don't acknowledge, don't discuss, don't even change unless absolutely neccessary. It's not working as such, it's still happening 1-2 times a day, but I do feel a lot less stressed about it so that's half the battle! It was something the OH said in the end - DD not bothered by it, no one else knows, cares or can even tell if she's had a little accident, so there is no need for me to strung out about it. I'm going out and about again now, always with a change of clothes, I buy extra large boxes of washing powder, easy iron trousers and like to spend the extra time worrying about lots of other things instead.

Just caught up with this thread again...

WingandPrayer I completely agree with your post. Ignoring does seem to be the best policy, whether there continues to be accidents or not... in my case it is stopping the wetting (mostly - still the odd one) but it is very 'liberating' not having to think about it

They are pre-schoolers, after all. Tiny babes, really

(When you consider what we'll be worrying about in say, 10 yrs or so )
