Help! Toilet training regression

6 replies

coralie66 · 28/01/2009 16:42

My ds was toilet trained in July, at his own instigation, just after his second birthday. We then had a baby in October and he started weeing all over the place (sofas, beds, pants etc). He never has any accidents at nursery or when out, only at home. We have tried following the standard advice of not drawing attention to it and staying calm, but three months on that hasn't helped at all. How can I get him to be reliably dry again??

Ds1 regressed dreadfully after ds2 was born. Afraid I have no helpful advice to give other than 3 months+ is not out of the norm as far as getting him back on track.

Thanks, at least it is not just us. It is so frustrating though!

DD1 regressed after dd2 was born

Ignoring it best policy, IME

Any other faffing just gave it attention (whether it was positive attention or negative attention - ie, praise/choc buttons or nagging/no choc buttons)

It does get better - and he's still young, really

DD1 had several 'episodes' of regression. Ignoring was THE ONLY WAY with her

Good luck. I know how frustrating it can be

We have/had the same issue. DD was clean and dry from 1 until at 2 years her new brother arrived.

For the last 5 months she has demanded nappies to wee in, I ended up buying disposables for the first time and every pair I put on her with a smile and inside I was thinking 'there is another 20p in the bin'.

We left the potties around and praised her when she used one and yesterday she wanted me to buy her 'big girl pants', so I did and crossed fingers she seemed to have decided to use the potty/toilet again...hurrah. Lets hope it lasts.

sorry, no advice but i am bumping and will follow this thread as have been experiencing a similar thing with my 2 1/2 yr old dd.
she has been doing so well, but over the last week or so has completely regressed and is requiring changes of clothes several times a day now. i'm just wondering whether to completely abandon it and try again when shes a little older??? am pg at the mo and expecting dc3 in june, so was really hoping that she would be sorted by then tho, obviously i can probably expect another regression when the baby comes!!
am feeling pretty hormonal today, so after her weeing on the floor for the 3rd time, twice when we were out, i just burst into tears!!!!
shes just gone and independently had a poo on the potty when i was out of the room, so i'm wondering what the heck is going on?????
