    Hi Caspa307

    I completely understand what your going through as I had exactly the same experience with my little girl.

    I did a lot of research and it can be any amount of reasons a wee change in their life ( I had a new baby which explained my ladies regression) or it can be quite simply they have learned it and they are so busy learning new things they forget it. I spoke at length to my PHN about it and her advice was to record all the accidents and see is there a trend with it whether it be when they are upset or maybe completely distracted playing!

    She then advised be like a toilet Nazi bring them to the toilet every 2 to 2 and a half hours and make a big deal when they go in toilet a little reward maybe a sticker or a button or something! If they do have an accident let them know that they are big now and have to do wees in toilet.

    It really worked well for us and my little lady is doing very well her accidents are few and far between now !

    Good luck
