Really frequent wees

Dd potty trained really well last year at about 2.9. She was reliably dry (occasional accidents) day and night for a good 6 months, taking herself when she needed to.

Since about Christmas, her wee accidents have got more and more frequent. She's still great at doing poos on the potty and doesn't often wet the bed at night but she seems to have totally stopped saying she needs to go.

She tells me she can't feel it when she needs to go.

We've tried stickers and prizes to no avail. Now we have resorted to just taking her very frequently - about once an hour. She nearly always does a wee when we take her.

Is the fact that she can't hold on for more than an hour a problem? Will i make it worse by making her do lots of small wees?

Or is it just likely to be the case that she's got bored of the potty business and is having an expected set back?

Have you tried talking to the GP about it? Maybe there's an underlying health issue if she says she can't feel it (assuming she's not telling porky pies of course).

I'm going to take her on Friday.

I'm not sure either way at this point - (whether she genuinely can't tell or whether she's just lazy.)

For my part I veer inconsistently by ignoring the accidents and praising the successes to getting really frustrated and going on at her about it.

Which is unhelpful I accept.

I just wondered if anyone had had a similar problem and had discovered a physical cause?
