So we had a good run with our 3yo - was doing great for like 2 months, then bam, accidents everywhere again. New sibling arrived 3 weeks ago so timing makes sense but I don't want to make a big deal about it or make him feel bad. How long did this last for other people's kids? Should we just go back to pull-ups for a bit or stick it out?
Totally normal. We had the same thing with our son at 3. Took like 3 weeks of him having accidents before he got back on track. Stress can really set them back.
New sibling? Moving? Any big changes? Usually regression happens because something shifted in their world and they're seeking attention or comfort.
Don't stress too much about it. My pediatrician said regression is actually pretty common and not a sign of problems. Just go back to basics like training pants at night.
We bribed with stickers and it worked within a week. Not the best parenting tactic but desperate times call for desperate measures when you're drowning in laundry.

Could be UTI if it's sudden and heavy accidents. Happened to our daughter and we didn't realize till the doctor mentioned it. Might be worth a checkup.
