Toilet Trouble with My 3-Year-old

First thing is don't ask her if she needs to go. Just like you don't ask a little one if they need to brush their teeth, you just tell them to go. Tell her "it's time to go potty". If you leave it up to her at this point she's just going to blow it off. This is 4 kids worth of experience talking. Almost all kids regress or get tired and lazy about it so you have to take some of the control back. DO NOT buy pull ups. You're setting yourself and her up for a long trek back to panty land. If you do that you're basically giving her permission to pee in her pants. Take her to the toilet every hour and get on the reward system. No accident's in the morning = special treat, etc.

I can't tell you why she is regressing, but here are some ideas to help make it less stressing. I went to garage sale & bought some clothes cheap to keep packed in the car. I think I spent $5.00 for a week's worth of clothes. I then went & bought puppy pads & a box of gallon zip bags. I put a puppy pad in the car seat to keep it from getting nasty while out & about. I use the bags to put nasty clothes & keep the stink down. Just a few tips to help..... I would definately have her checked medically if it is that many accidents a day though just to make sure nothings out of whack.

This is probably just a regression stage and will pass, as the other post has stated. I agree with them though, to have her checked for a UTI. Also, my 3 yr old daughter always seems to have more accidents prior to becoming sick (common cold, flu, etc). I know that sounds weird, but it almost never fails....Good luck & stay consistent and calm (I know it's frustrating).

I would take her to your ped and rule out urinary track or yeast infection.

talk to the dr. just to make sure everything is ok... my friends daughter actually had a blood problem... so talk to the dr.. just to make sure everything else is ok... also talk to your daughter... she should be able to tell you if anything is bothering her.. good luck
