posted on super nanny thang but thought might as well try hear too. ds2 has just turned 4 and is still wetting his pants often(actually alot).i dont think its an infection as hes fine at nursery and the cm's-uses the toilet,returns in same clothing as i dropped him off in.....but at home he can have 4 accidents in an hour some days.hes mostly fine if naked(which he likes to be)but will still sometimes just wee!its so frustrating.weve tried different potties,different toilet seats,reward charts,new 'special' pants,praise,rewards of choc buttons or pennies.all sorts!i admit at times weve got cross(yep i know i shouldnt).but what do i do!the hv advice was to put him back in nappies but i just didnt agree as hes fine at cm and nursery and had done very well to begin with.he was about 2 when we started potty training-he wanted to wear pants,we didnt push it.he did amazingly well for a few months and then his beloved granny died and since then its been mostly down hill!

I have a 5.5 year old who wets his pants about once a day...........I was wondering whether to take him to the dr.s? He has also had a few colds since before xmas, so I wondered if it was linked to a virus. I am needing to go all the time myself at the moment. (cold weather!) Sorry I can't really help you, but I personally wouldn't go back to nappies. I think boys do 'forget'! My 5.5 year old is the youngest of three and I know the usualy advice for these thigs is to make as little fuss as possible. I don't really know what to do either, it's frustrating!
