How long does new sibling PTing regression last?

LO is 2.5yrs old, we just had our second 2wks ago and LO1 has been day trained for just under a month, so not terribly long unfortunately but was great about telling us when he needed to go and even went on his own a handful of times. The first week home LO1 did fine, however for the past week he's refused to sit on the potty, and just pees/poops wherever he is.

Do we put him in diapers? We have some for nighttime because he pees in his sleep still. Do we just keep powering through and eventually he'll go back to the potty? How long does a regression like this usually last?

A couple of weeks? DD was also having lots of accidents after DS was born. She also started crawling and acting like a baby to get attention. Finally out of frustration I went to the store and got the cheapest, nastiest, crinkliest diapers I could find. I told DD if she wanted to act like a baby she needed to wear diapers again. After about a day she told me she didn't like the diapers and wanted her big girl panties back. After that she had the rare accident (always at home, never at school) but it seemed to get her back on track.

My ds ptd a couple months after dd was born. 7 months later after doing good he's regressed this week. He's also trying to stop napping which he really doesn't need to do. Hes got to nap! He's miserable otherwise.
He wont stop playing to go pee/poop! Its so aggreviating. I partly think its for attention. Dd is getting more mobile & getting more attention. Blahh he just turned 3 which is a handful enough

Thanks ladies, I am hoping when he goes back to daycare next week it will help him get back into his usual routine.
