Dec 4 at 20:01 comment added WaterMolecule Yes, I agree it's important to try to understand why you might be having the regression. I think the biggest deficiency of my answer is that I don't talk much about the child's feelings, which are at the root of potty learning. The answer by @MiniMum discusses some reasons why daycare seems to cause regressions. I think the first regression is common. At first the potty is something new, and they get excited about it. Once that excitement has worn off, some kids don't see much of a reason to stop what they are doing and go to the potty and developing that motivation can be very hard.
Dec 4 at 19:50 comment added cecilian - MonicaWasMistreated Thank you, while your answer is dashing my hopes that there could be a simple solution, on the other hand I'm reassured that our experience is not unique. I was a bit worried that a regression so complete may be related to something that was stressing her a lot. It's probably the curse of the scientist, always trying to look for patterns in anything :) I'll wait a couple more days and then accept your answer, more than for the solution, because your experience is very relevant.
