Hi Narmin,
my daughter was 3 in september, she was fully potty trained day and night, we get some accidents from now ans then at night but it doesn't bother me that much... lately, we had a wet week!! she is having accidents at day time where she drops near the potty litteraly... and at night everyday we are having a wet bed and in the morning when i am trying to change the sheets she just wets it again while she is fully awake.. I am not sure i am handling the situation well, I was trying to be patient and talk to her and not shout , but this morning i lost the plot especially after i saw her wetting the bed again while i was trying to take her pyjamas off... i did shout at her and was upset with her... i felt guilty afterwards.. but i don't know what is causing this, if it psychological, or i am doing something wrong or is it a phase??? please help me and advise me how do deal with this without traumatising her..
thanks

Hello Kahina,
Thank you for your post. You are right to suspect a problem. When you see this much of a change, something is likely triggering it.
Has your daughter gone through any major change recently? Often times a move, change in school, babysitter, or parenting situation can cause potty training regression. It could even be as simply as a parent changing their work hours - - maybe working more or less hours, impacting the child's routine. At any rate, keep a close eye out for what might be bothering her.
Another cause might be a change in drinking habits such as adding carbonated drinks recently. Or, it could even be a urinary tract infection. Is she urinating more frequently during the day? Is she experiencing any discomfort? If so, you might want to talk to your pediatrician about the symptoms.
Another thought is it may simply be that your daughter has learned she could control wetting so now she has decided she will go potty when she has the time, only she's not making the time. Some children begin to have more accidents when they push the limit between potty breaks. Be sure your daughter is breaking frequently enough.
And finally, read up on bed wetting. Arm yourself with information and products to help you get through this difficult time.
I hope these ideas help. Please keep us posted on your progress. And good luck!
