So DS has been potty trained (except for night/nap time when he wears a pull up) and pretty much accident free for about 6 weeks now. About a week ago he started pooping every other day or waited to go in his pull up after nap. We didn't think much of it because he has been an infrequent pooper since birth, going every other day or once a day at most. He gets plenty of fiber so I know it's not his diet. However, for the past few days he has been having wetting accidents. He will tell us he has to go and then sometimes fight us, refusing to go. Then when he gets to the toilet he will have wet a little. On Sunday and again today he had two full on accidents where he didn't tell anyone he had to go. Today the first was at his drop off preschool camp and again on the way home. He was very upset by the accident on the way home.
I can't say I'm hugely surprised by the regression. The past few weeks I've been dragging him to Dr appointments once or twice a week and leaving him with a babysitter if she's available for those appointments. My sister arrived Friday and has been playing with him a lot during the day, although DH and I still do meals and bedtime. Then of course there's all the talk of the new baby arriving in less than 2 weeks. Poor kid has a lot going on.
I guess my question is how do I deal with it, besides providing lots of encouragement and incentive to go? Should I put a pull up on him for camp (just tomorrow left) since I know he must have been hugely embarrassed by wetting there today? Just focus on retraining at home first or all at once? Nothing I've read has included specific ways of dealing with it and I know it may get worse before it gets better. I just want the least amount of stress on him as possible. TIA!
