Dry out, wets at home!?

[Yanda]

DD is 2.4 and she has been doing really well with her potty training, just the odd accident with wees, poos were still abit hit and miss but nothing that worried me.

A couple of weekends ago she was poorly, I think it was a virus and she had quite a high temperature and I've not seen her as ill as that before. Since then she is dry at nursery, dry when we go out, but if we are at home or she is in the car she wets and I'm not sure why. She obviously has all the neccessary skills to stay dry at nursery for 5 hours or when we are in Sainsburys so how come she wets at home? I have tried to ask her, not ask, reward, leave her bottoms off and so on, but I feel like I have got into some sort of power struggle or bad habit and I don't know how to get out of it. Help!

I'm usually the type to bump my own thread, but I really am feeling rather desperate now. I'm at the stage of even considering nappies again, but she obviously can do it because she was doing it before getting ill. Nursery think she is doing really well with her toileting so it would seem abit silly to put her back in nappies when she is dry there, its not like I can use nappies part time.

That sounds really frustrating. It sounds like she just needs time to sort it out. My DS2 was doing really well with potty training and then for no known reason went backwards and so I gave up for a few months. Now we are back to stratch and I wished I had stuck at it despite all the accidents. I would continue with bottoms off as you are and she maybe start up a reward chart for home. It would be an awful shame to go back to nappies now.

Thanks pupandhat, I feel like my instinct is telling me to wait it out, but its tough!
