Has anyone else noticed a correlation between sleep disturbances and potty training regression?
My DD is 3.6 and she has been in pants since she was 2.10. We have periods where is is completely dry and then periods where she has frequent daily accidents (wees only thank goodness). We have just been through a really good couple of months after a really bad patch and we thought she finally had it cracked until the last week or so .
She started having nightmares and getting up in the night for a mummy cuddle , waking up earlier than normal, has suddenly grown out of her clothes and we also had a couple of accidents in bed which we haven't had for months.
A couple of days after the disturbed nights started the potty training and her general behaviour started to go down hill and she is now having multiple daily accidents again. Unlike previous times she is getting quite upset by this (especially at nursery ) and genuinely doesn't seem to have any warning before needing to wee.
So I am genuinely interested in hearing if anyone on MN have noticed a correlation between what I am assuming is a developmental phase (as there have been no changes to routine or let up on the motivational rewards) and potty training.
