Hi ladies,
My daughter is completely potty trained from few months. She got really easy trained, for 2 weeks she was completely out of training pants. Even at the beginning she had no accidents or very few, which is pretty normal. All of a sudden she start to have more accidents and few times she wet her bed at night. I am not sure what will cause that sudden change, should i worry, what i can do to prevent it.....All your feedback will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

What can I do next?

Have her wear diapers or pull-ups at night. Most children take longer to sleep dry than they do to be trained during the day. Some take several years longer.

If there's something going on in her world (new sibling, Daddy's working longer hours, etc.), that's been known to lead to regression.

Also, I've found that when my girls get really over tired (be it from a busy week/long nights or from hitting a growth spurt), they've been known to wet the bed now and then (LONG after they've been potty trained).

I picked up some waterproof pads (about 3'x3') at Bed, Bath & Beyond. When mine were having a week with recurring accidents, I'd have them sleep on top of that pad, so rather than stripping the bed in the middle of the night, I'd just have her change jammies, while I pulled off the mini-pad.

Another trick I use: It can be a little pricey to buy extras, but I have layered waterproof mattress pads (that cover the whole mattress) with sheets (pad, sheet, pad, sheet), so when they DO have an accident, or get sick in the middle of the night, I can just pull off the -top- sheet and pad, and VOILA! there's a fresh bed hiding underneath! It's definitely much easier than wrestling with a clean mattress pad in the middle of the night!

Sleep well and dry!
M.

My son was like that. Trained for several months and then it was just too much trouble. He is very laid back. He just wouldn't pay attention to the urge, it seemed. Nothing different was going on. He just had no problem being wet or dirty. Never even liked having his diaper changed. Just didn't want to be bothered...

He started getting really excited about baseball cards so we would get large packs and let him pick out a card each time he was dry. Other than that we never made a fuss about it. Just acted like it was an accident and we'd better get that cleaned up. (Took everything out of me sometimes...) He finally got to the point where he liked getting cards.

My daughter is type 1 diabetic and that is how we discovered it. It could just be a phase but just in case have her checked out. Better safe than sorry.

Good luck,

You didn't say how old she is, but it could be that she had a growth spurt and hr bladder didn't catch up yet, his is a pretty common issue. Just my 2 cents.

Hello! Potty training is such a fun time isn't it? You've had some good advice, and this may not pertain at all to your situation, but bladder infections and yeast infections cause these kinds of problems too. Just to rule it out I would be sure to just get a urine sample and have her checked. Girls are SO much more prone to these kinds of issues unfortunately :) Good luck!
