Night Time Potty Training - Cape Coral,FL

I know what you are going through. My daughter had a tough time at night. We took away diapers completley and went to pullups and as she got older just used the pullups at night. Eventuallly what we did was we bought a pad to put on her bed at night because she would wake up dry but some times have accidents. Then finally took the pullups away and had her wear underwear all the time. Now she's 5 1/2 and has no accidents.
Let me know if I can help with anything

Start out with something simple like a sticker chart. Let her know that everytime she wakes up dry, she gets to put a sticker on the chart. if you want you give the added incentinve of a prize after getting so many stickers. It should work. But if not then look into something more elaborate.
Good luck

ive posted this response before, take off the pullups and diapers at night. she probably is going early in the morning, and has no NEED to get up. Get about 3 plastic mattress covers(<$3each) and be prepared to wash the sheets a few times, i am pretty sure it will only take a few nights, especially since shes so much older. give her a reward for getting up and going potty at night/early morning. good luck!

Honestly, you can try to work on her night time potty training, but at 3 1/2 her body may not be completely ready. At night their blader has to be mature enough and get used to holding it all night instead of a few hours. That can take a while. And the other posters may be right about her peeing in the morning, but that doesn't meen she is just laying there because she doesn't feel like going to the potty. She may not realize she's peeing until after it's on its way out. Pee in the morning doesn't have to meen that she woke and peed. She may be peeing and waking up because she's wet.

If she is close to being ready, then taking off the pullups may be a good insentive to get her use to the real feeling of wet clothes, sheets, and blankets. If all of it gets wet, not only is the wetness uncomfortable, but it also gets very cold and very dificult to sleep in. So, that could help give her that extra desire to stay dry. If you try that for several days and she's still wet most nights, then she probably is just not ready. Just remember, there are some kids that are just getting daytime potty trained at that age, so I don't think there is anything wrong with her weting at night or in the morning.

My daughter is almost five and she stays dry most nights, but she still has accidents sometimes. I just tell her that when her body is ready she will be able to stay dry everynight, and wake up when she needs to go.

A friend of mine had your same situation. She realized, though, one morning that the pee in her daughter's diaper/Pull Up was warm... so she figured that she may actually be staying dry throughout the night and actually laying in bed and peeing when she first wakes up rather than running to the bathroom... So she cleverly did a sticker chart on the kitchen calendar and said every morning that her Pull Up was dry, she'd get a sticker, and when she filled a whole row of stickers (one week) she could go to the store and buy ANY one thing she wanted. She NEVER had another wet Pull Up (and her mom took her to the Dollar Store and let her buy any TWO things she wanted!!!)

By the way, if you try this and your daughter is still waking up wet, then she more than likley is peeing in her sleep and you have to try something else.

My daughter was the same way, pull ups just at night. when she was 3 1/2 it just stayed dry through the night, I didn't push it when she was ready she was ready. I like the idea about teh sticker chart though!! Good Luck.

I used to do that with my youngest son when he was 3. He would be dry all day and then I'd put him in a pullup for bed and it would be wet by the morning, but one night I decided to try him with just his pj's and from that day on I've not had one single accident. They obviously know the feel of diapers is different to undies and when they have a pull up on they know its a safety blanket almost.

My daughter stopped wearing night diaper just before her 3rd birthday. It took talking to her and explaining that she can not go PP in her panties. If she needs to go at night she needs to call me or just go as she does during the day. You have to be prepared for a few accidents. I used the sheet protector(the kinds they use in hospitals) initially. I was scared starting it as she was wetting her diapers at night and I was not sure if she was ready. And then just before bed she goes to the toilet and she drinks her milk sometimes after going to the toilet but still controls till she wakes up in the morning.
