potty regressing/constant nursing and...

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
dd will do really well on her potty, won't have a miss for days or sometimes weeks at a time, then suddenly for like 3 or so days she won't use her potty, she just pees where she wants. she's almost 2 so she has great ability to get on her potty (which she will), and is very, very verbal. but some times she just refuses to use the potty. i'll try to sit her when i know she has to go, and she'll just hold it and get up and doe something else. is this normal stubbornness? what am i missing here?

i know i've heard it's common for toddlers to increase nursing right around their second birthday, but does potty 'regression' go along with that? maybe that's what's going on.

i've noticed a slight connection with potty refusal and her getting new teeth in, does any one else have some kind of pattern like that? the potty refuse never comes around with any other major changes, we're mostly consistent with everyday things (no moves, ect).

this is probably 'normal', but after a while of her doing so well with potty learning, it's frustrating when she either flat out refuses to sit, makes no efforts or shows no signs that she has to go and just goes where she pleases.

absolutely.

My DD was pretty much miss-free (during the day) from 12 months on and then suddenly started refusing the potty when she turned two. She's getting over it now. Slowly. I think it's normal. If you can get her around other EC'ing kids or older potty trained kids, that might help... It's helped us, anyway.

ETA: Although on reading your post again, it does sound like teeth since it only happens every few days! Maybe her two year molars are coming in?
