We started working with an early years worker after being referred by our health visitor due to our daughter being flawlessly toilet trained just before she turned 3 then suddenly once she was just over the age of 3 she was having constant wet accidents, which had us baffled.
We tried retraining her using all the methods, rewarding with stickers, the odd tonie for dry days/weeks, naked at home, always having a travel potty but the accidents were every day.
After working with early years worker we started a pee diary which then led to a poo diary, to realise although our daughter wasn’t showing signs of being constipated on the toilet, her poos were in fact constipated poos, a poo traffic jam was most likely the reason for the wet accidents so spoke to GP and she was prescribed laxatives, this is definitely clearing her poo out and we all hope will take the pressure off her bladder and stop the wet accidents. She is still on laxatives for the time being.
We expressed to health visitor and early years worker that our main concern for her was beginning school next summer and there still being wet accidents happening, they both assured us that they will help to the best of their abilities for this not to be the case.
We are so grateful for all the help as we would never have looked at constipation being the cause!
