3 year old suddenly wetting herself

[SaraJS216]

I wasn't sure whether to put this under parenting or potty training, but potty training doesn't seem appropriate as DD has been dry for 8 months (she's 3 years 8 months).

In the last 3 weeks she's started wetting in the day, usually about 2 full on wee's in her clothes a day. She's been tested for a UTI which came back negative, isn't constipated, no big life changes etc. She's been dry overnight for the last 3ish months, and has had one recent accident overnight but that's all.

I've tried giving her lots of praise when she stays dry/goes to the toilet, not making a big deal or giving it much attention when she wets. I'm at a loss of what to do and don't know if this is a common problem when a child has already been consistently dry for quite a while. Is anyone has any advice I'd be very grateful!

My daughter did this too at about the same age for a few weeks. There was also no medical reason for it. We assumed she was getting too distracted while playing and ignoring her body signals she needs a wee until it was too late and she couldn't hold it any more. We went back to potty training basics of taking her every couple of hours, then then she was showing progress back to just asking her if she needs it every hour or so. Nursery did the best they could to do the same. Eventually she became dry again.

My DD just turned 3 and has been potty trained for 10 months and I've noticed that every couple of months or so she will have a 2-3 days of having lots of accidents

I have no idea why but talking to other parents I gather it's quite common and can go on for some time
