help? 2.5 yo regression?

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
DD is 2.5 and we did EC on and off since birth. last fall i think she would have gone 100% but we moved and lost the house we were buying and ended up at my mom's and she started peeing on my mom's couch and rug. (she was making it about 80% of the time)

so we moved into our new house and she's been on and off since then. sometimes she asks for diapers, sometimes she wants to use the potty. sometimes she just runs outside to pee in the grass. about 4 weeks ago we were 100% undies, even outside the house, though she was still sometimes having accidents. diapers were reserved for night time, though she was frequently dry in the AM.

so, 2.5 weeks ago i went to a 3 days long workshop and discovered that DH had kept DD in diapers the whole time i was gone. : and POOF! all the potty learning was gone. since then she has been in a diaper. she doesn't show any desire to pee on the potty (or grass) and says she doesn't want undies. if she is naked she is not making it to the potty at all. if she is in clothes with undies, she pees and doesn't even tell me and keeps wearing her wet clothes until i insist on taking them off

i am not sure what to do. any suggestions? maybe taking her out to buy new undies?

The outside nekki-butt time should help as well as going to get new undies judging by how things go for regular potty learners.

I'm assuming you're changing her immediately when she's in diapers and checking if she's gone in the diapers more often than you check when she's in undies? Because from what you describe one thing I'm wondering about is if maybe she's feeling like she gets more play time with diapers? Since she's ignoring wet clothing?

well, i *try* to change her... but she screams "no!" and runs off.

she is really into her playtime right now and maybe it is a case of not wanting to stop what she is doing to pee or get changed.

I'm in the same boat right now with DS (12 mo.). I'm really mad with my Dh for not being too much supporting this time around with DS (this is our second EC baby):.
Tonight! I just put pj diaper less to sleep. Let see what happened this week. DS is also in a huge poop regression.
