 Suddenly having accidents in my room? Teething?
First of all Lola is only having the accidents in my room, so I highly doubt it's medical beyond teething. She's lost about 8 baby teeth this week and the adult ones are just starting to pop through. She's almost 5 months old.
Another important thing is she usually won't pee or poop in front of anyone, so it's hard to praise her for doing it right or wrong. She'll seriously hold it for hours. I do praise or stop her when I catch her.
She's never been yelled at for having an accident, this has always been one of her little quirks.
I never crate trained or confined her because I just put the pads where she was peeing and she picked up on it really fast.
Downstairs she's just about perfect with peeing, she'll have a small accident maybe every other week *as long as my grandmom's bedroom door is shut*. She's about 50/50 with pooping.
She was doing equally well in my room until this past week, since then she's been having at least one accident a day. It usually happens while I'm asleep.
She has 3 pee pads in my room, they're all clean when I go to bed and she has a night light and my TV is on. The accidents are usually 6-12 inches from her pee pads.
Tonight I stopped her from peeing between her 2 pee pads, they're about a foot apart.
She sleeps in my bed and has steps to get on and off. |
