Ugh I just need to vent a little this morning… my 2yo had been doing so good with potty training like we hadn’t had a single accident in a few days and I really thought we had turned a corner. Then today I woke up and he had wet the bed and it totally threw me. I don’t know if it was something he ate or drank or just one of those random regressions people talk about but it was super discouraging. I felt like we were already past this part and now I’m doubting everything again. I know they say it’s a journey but dang it’s hard not to feel like we’re going backwards. Anyone else feel like this?
Can we just skip this whole potty training stage pls?? I swear it’s like one step forward two steps back over here too I just wanna fast forward to the part where they wipe themselves and sleep dry lol
Same exact thing happened to us last week. I had just told my mom how proud I was and literally the next morning, pee everywhere. I didn’t even get mad, just kinda sat there like… really? Just know you’re def not alone in this
Oh wow this sounds soooo familiar. We had a dry streak going and then boom like 3 nights in a row of wet sheets outta nowhere. Do you guys do a drink cut, off before bedtime? I’ve been wondering if I need to start that but not sure if it helps or just adds more drama to the bedtime routine?
Hey I know how frustrating this is trust me but just wanted to share what worked for us in case it helps! We started putting our kiddo on the potty right before bedtime even if he said he didn’t have to go and made sure the last drink was like an hour before sleep. We also added a waterproof mattress pad and an extra fitted sheet layered underneath so middle of the night changes weren’t such a nightmare. Took a few weeks but the accidents eventually stopped and now it’s super rare. Regression is normal tho and doesn’t mean the process failed just part of the learning curve!

Hang in there mama you’re doing everything right even when it doesn’t feel like it. Potty training is a total rollercoaster and it’s super normal for them to have a little backslide. Doesn’t mean you’re failing or that it won’t click again soon. You already got a few dry days and that’s huge. You got this just keep showing up and trust the process

Ugh yes we’ve been dealing with something almost identical. She was dry like 5 nights in a row and we were even thinking about ditching diapers completely but then bam a soaked bed. I keep wondering if teething or a growth spurt might mess with their body signals?? Or even like stress from something little we don’t notice? Curious if your little one had any changes this week, new foods or routine stuff?
Honestly I just wanna say you’re doing great even if it doesn’t feel like it right now. That kind of setback can be so disheartening especially when you’ve been celebrating the wins and then suddenly it feels like it’s all gone. But kids are weirdly unpredictable with this stuff. My oldest had zero accidents for a week and then had one at naptime that left me in tears lol. What helped me most was remembering that it’s not linear, it’s more like this messy zigzag path with progress all over the place. I also started journaling the good days just to remind myself we were moving forward even when it didn’t feel like it in the moment. And hey if today’s a rough one, tomorrow could be a win again. Keep going mama, you’re not alone in this
