I'm pregnant again, due in a few weeks, and the minute we showed them pictures of the baby on the way and my belly started to pop out, they had a major regression. Peeing on furniture, whenever they pleased while AWAKE! Between the two one of them is peeing their pants daily! Nighttime accidents were no big deal, because we know those things are going to happen from time to time, but now with one of them it is every single night. I'm tired from chasing a 15 month old around, have a giant belly, and am now changing bedding daily and changing their clothing because they won't go to the potty.
One actually told us the other day he peed his pants because we didn't take him to the bathroom! When we explained that we didn't know he needed to go and asked why he didn't tell us. He said he had!!! Lied right to our faces, trying to get out of trouble!! Clearly if we had known we would have taken him, we were at a baseball game! It was embarassing and we had to leave so he could get on dry clothing.
We have tried ignoring the behavior, rewarding the good behavior, taking things away, explaining things, cherios, letting them play with tablets on the potty, and so on. I'm at my wits end. I don't know what to try next? Nothing is working. They just keep regressing. I'm guessing it is because of the new baby. But there is no way they aren't doing this at their mothers house, and she never mentions it to us. Last time she mentioned it was about 5 months ago and said that one would just pull his pants down and pee on the steps, wall, or whatever he felt like peeing on. Half the time they show up without underwaear, which makes me think they still might be wearing pull ups at their mothers? ANY SUGGESTIONS would be appreciated. They will be 4 in a month, and at this rate my daughter might be completely potty trained before them.View Thread

He used to be so chubby and now hes very thin.
So thin that he now wears 12-24 month clothes.
he never seems to have an appetite and just wants to drink juice all day. Doctors have said to not force him to eat but I disagree with that.
He once weighed 52lbs. and now weighes 32lb. My 1 year old weighs nearly the same. Im lost and dont trust the doctors opinion. Help!View Thread

I blame daycare for this problem, he was told he'd get a sticker if he put his pee in the potty. He did pee in the potty with a new teacher who was not told to give him a sticker if he peed in the potty, so he didn't get one. A couple days later the same teacher told me she isn't sure if he peed or if the child before him peed and didn't flush. So if it was him, again, he didn't get a sticker. I feel they missed a huge opportunity because of their lack of communication, which I've complained about repeatedly. I'm so frustrated and nothing is working to encourage him to do it.View Thread

To meet his nutrition needs his mother is giving him pureed food. Even otherwise he is a finicky eater and is only interested in playing. He is very active and has normal growth. Health is generally alright, except for frequent bouts of cold and cough.
We consulted a speech therapist one year back, as advised by his pediatrician. but the therapist did not find anything abnormal.
I would be glad for any suggestions on how to proceed further in the matter.
Thanks
