Has anything changed? Routine? Is he going to preschool soon?  A lot of kids will regress, sometimes because they want control over their own little bodies and sometimes because something has changed in their life. My oldest regressed when my youngest was about 4 months old...so I understand where you are at. Do not give up hope! Always go forward, not backward. Pull-ups are expensive. Have you tried the store brands? They're less expensive, work great, and do the job of the expensive ones.

Tell me things that you've tried and I'll help you come up wtih more ideas of what to do.

His routine has been the same for the most part. I can't think of any significant changes. I have done Target brand Pull-Ups and Walgreens ones (and those ones SUCK).

So let's see....I knew he was ready to be trained because he refused to keep on his diaper and didn't like to go on himself. I put him on the toilet and he loved it. I gave him either a chocolate Teddy Graham or a mini strawberry wafer for pee and an Oreo for poop. I stopped after about a month because he was in the routine and was distracted right after washing his hands.

His routine every morning was and is wake up, go potty, brush teeth/wash hands and breakfast. It's just that he doesn't hold it in anymore like he used to. His Pull-Ups are warm when he wakes up.

I'm at a loss as to why he just stopped. He is a very stubborn child and after a while is just like "screw this" so it kind of wouldn't surprise me if that's the case.

Another thing, after his accidents, I get frustrated (and I try not to make it obvious to him) and then he looks SO UPSET and just looks down like he's ashamed and that is the sh*ttiest feeling. I don't want to make him feel guilty if he's not ready...kwim? It makes me want to cry.

 Entiendo como te sientes, pero no te frustres puedes darle unos dias y volver a espesar es normal pase esto , por lo menos con mi niño que tiene 3  pasaba dias todo bien y en estos momentos no quiere usarlo para hacer  el numero 2 solo el 1 es haci es frustran te pero pasa no te desanimes mamá 

How close is bedtime to dinner time? Does he get a drink before bed? If the time is close or he drinks before bed, his bladder could just be overfull by the time morning comes and he pees. Also, you stopped rewarding him. :o) Positive reinforcement gets you what you want. You could try giving him 1 M&M after successfully using the potty and see how that works out (or anything other treat you like). If he starts using the potty again, you'll know he was boycotting it because he wanted his reward. If he does not, then you may be right that he needs a little time before trying again. I would encourage you to not go back to diapers as much as possible. We used both Target and WalMart pull-ups when my oldest was in a regression from potty training. Above all else, remember and keep this as your mantra, "It is only a phase, this will pass."

It's very hard to not get frustrated. He gets upset because a child's one wish is to please their parent and make them happy. Take a deep breath and say, "It's ok that you had an accident. I love you very much. We can try again to use the potty in a little while." This reinforces that you not angry, you love him, and are willing to help him. It's hard....I've been there twice...going for thirds with my youngest lol

Well, the sitter normally feeds him around 4:30pm and he'll have an early dinner around 6 and nothing to drink around 6:30-7. Bedtime for him is normally 8:30.

I will give it a try after naptime with the treats after EVERY TIME he goes to see if it was him boycotting...because that would not surprise me if he did that. LOL. And I agree, I want to also avoid getting him diapers again. He also wears the training undies around the house once in a while.

Thanks sooooo much for your help. I hope this passes...he was doing so well so I hope that this is my fault and not his.
