Toilet Regression

My boy had something similar- training since June, took to it well and was dry for a good month or so. Then last few weeks or so he’s regressed (I’m also pregnant!). Luckily he’s still good at telling us when he needs a poo but he stopped telling us about wees and was having like 2-3 wee accidents a day at nursery!! Sometimes they said he’d go to the loo then just stand next to it and wee in his pants 🙈 SO frustrating when you’ve both worked so hard to train them and you know they can do it! Thankfully my nursery is super helpful and cooperative (id be livid if they put him in a nappy al day tbh if he was fully out of them in the day). But last week or so we started a sticker chart. Space themed ones (his fave)…then everytime he used the big boy loo he got to pick a sticker.
Then asking him to check his pants were wet / dry and if dry making a huuuge deal about it 🤣 I did it on my days off with him plus wknd and The nursery did the same when they had him. Took a few days but something seems to hav clicked as we are on day 4 of no accidents again! I’m sure he’ll still have the odd accident but Reallllly hoping this might have nipped the regression! Xx
Thanks both! I really wasn’t happy about the nappy situation either but from their point of view they were worried she would run out of clean clothes (and she doesn’t like going in nursery spares) but I’d rather them persevere or she’ll just end up being like oh well I’ll get a nappy soon and can go in that! We might have to try the stickers again but it’s hard because she just doesn’t do this at home at all so there needs to be something done at nursery I just don’t know what 😵💫 Maybe like you say consequences at home but my gut is just telling me it’s to do with number 2 being on the way and I find it so hard to punish for having valid feelings 😭 It’s just the wrong way to express them I guess!
It could be that you are pregnant but might not, I have a 6 week old but I really don't think it's to do with that, she's really positive towards him except saying his crying is noisy 😂 But you could try talking to her about being pregnant, read books etc, see if you can find another way for her to express her emotions if it is that.
Thanks all again, she’s been much better the past few days! Lots of positive talk and they’ve supervised a bit more. I think maybe she’s been needing some good quality attention so fingers crossed we can continue! Next hurdle is stopping her falling asleep on the walk home from nursery 😅
I've had something similar to this where my lo has been potty trained since May, but a couple of times she's had spells of having accidents on purpose. Most recently they said it was so she could change dressing up outfits a lot of times so they told her she couldn't dress up anymore that day. We talk to her, like "nursery say you've been having accidents on purpose. Why when you know what to do?" Recently she's been having sleepovers with daddy in our bed at weekends as I sleep in nursery with newborn. She loves them, so I told her that if nursery tells us she has been doing it on purpose, she'll lose a day of sleepover. She did it again so I spoke to her about it and said she has one more chance or no sleepovers at all that weekend. She stopped doing it. So I'd suggest you speak to her, support nursery and put in place a consequence.
