Thread: Minitilly has started wetting himself

I don't understand what is going on
He is fine at night still, barring the odd accident but he keeps weeing and occasionally pooing himself
I am back to carrying spare pants and trousers!
Its not that he is holding it too long because he doesn't even make an effort - he literally just wees
At school, CMs, home, at the shops - wherever Last Sunday, we were at church about 10 feet from the loo and he just stood there and wet himself

His teacher thinks he is having a little rebellion but I don't know how to deal with that
I've gone back to his reward chart but so far, he hasn't even got 3 days in a row and he doesn't seem that bothered either
help!

Have you been through a list of possibilities?

Problems at school?
Problems with friends?
Over tiredness?
Any big changes happened recently?


What does he say if you ask him why he does it?

had a similar problem with ds when he was 7 he used to poo his pants just a bit but enough to mark them iyswim i tried everything from hugs to shouting but nothing seemed to work.in the end i explained to him it wasn't nice for mummy to have to wash them so every time he soiled his pants he had to wash them out before putting them in the washer.I don't know if it was this that worked or he got fed up of not getting the attention any more but after a few weeks it stopped.

Have you ruled out an infection (plus the stuff Hula suggested)?

Like MT Sofie is also pretty reliable both day and night, but she does go through the odd phase when she will start having lots of accidents. The last few times it was linked to other stuff going on in her life, but I also always ask if she is having a problem/pain, etc. and offer to take her to the Dr.

Hope you get it sorted Tilly, because I know how frustrating it can be.

nothing to add I'm afraid..... hope he turns a corner soon with this .....

P was doing this recently - it turned out he had a kidney infection. Get him checked out.

I did that early on - they didn't even take a urine sample because he has no signs or symptoms whatsoever, and he is also soiling

If we ask why, he says he doesn't know

He doesn't seem to be having any problems that we can determine - not at home and haven't picked up anything from CM or school, tho have made them aware

Thanks for that suggestion Meggie, that seems like a good idea for starters
