My little one had been doing great, telling me when he needed to go, even staying dry through naps. But then the holidays hit, and it feels like we’ve taken five steps back. Between all the family visits, new places, and the general overstimulation, he’s started having accidents again.
I feel like people are silently judging me, like it’s my fault for not keeping everything on track, and it’s so overwhelming. I know he’s probably just confused and adjusting, but I’m exhausted and frustrated. How do I help him? Is this something other moms have dealt with?
Omg Leidy, same here. My daughter was doing so well before Thanksgiving, but all the travel and family stuff threw her off too. It’s like she forgot everything overnight! You’re not alone, mama, and it’s definitely not your fault. Hang in there, it’ll get better 
The holidays are so chaotic, and it’s so hard on little ones. Sometimes it feels like they’re little sponges soaking up all the stress around them. Just wanted to say you’re not alone, it’s such a tough season for moms
We went through something similar last year! One thing that worked for us was going back to the basics: reminding him to try every hour, keeping a portable potty nearby, and making it fun again with little rewards like stickers. Regression happens, but with consistency, he’ll get back on track, I promise!
Hey, it’s hard right now, but I promise it’s not permanent. My little one had a big regression last summer, and within a few weeks, he was back to his routine. They’re more resilient than we give them credit for. You’ve got this, and so does he!
Oh wow, this sounds exactly like what we’re dealing with. Do you think the holidays were just too overstimulating for them? I keep wondering if I should’ve set firmer boundaries with visits and activities. How are you helping him transition back?
I’ve found that keeping things calm after big events really helps. Maybe try a simplified schedule for a bit, same meal times, same wake-ups, and slowly reintroduce potty habits. Also, lots of positive reinforcement! Even sitting on the potty gets a mini celebration in our house. 
Thank you all for sharing, it means a lot to know I’m not alone. I think I’ll try going back to basics like some of you suggested. It’s so hard not to stress, but hearing your stories helps me keep perspective. Fingers crossed for smoother days ahead!
I’ve been through this with my three older ones, and honestly, regression is so normal. Holidays are overstimulating, and at this age, routines are everything. Just stay consistent and don’t make a big deal out of accidents, they’ll get there. Remember, no one goes to college in diapers! 
We’re in the middle of this too, and it’s SO frustrating. Have you noticed if certain things trigger the accidents more? Like being in new places or skipping naps? I’m trying to figure out if we can avoid it next year
