Need help with nightime training!
I know this has been brought up before, but I'm not sure if I should keep up
nighttime training or give up for now. Jessica has been potty trained during the day for 4 months and has done great. I suspected she was ready for night training a while ago but there was a ton of change going on with moving, etc that I didn't push it. A couple of weeks ago she really wanted to try (her cousin down the road doesn't wear diapers to bed) so we tried. It's been 12 days and of those 12 nights, she's been dry I think 5 of them. I do have her potty in her room and she's gotten up and used that a couple of times. Thing is, she really *wants* to wear undies at night. Should I keep it up, since she obviously has the ability to stay dry, or should I chuck it for now and come back in a few months? laurie mommy to Jessica, 2.5 years and Christopher, 8 months |

obviously has the ability to stay dry, or should I chuck it for now and come back in a few months? laurie Well, with Elijah we just used pull-ups and called them "night-time underwear". When he'd gone through a whole pack of them (30) without ever being wet, so he was dry a month through, I put a vinyl cover on his mattress and he started wearing regular underwear to bed. It's been a few weeks, and no accidents. If she's only been dry 5 nights out of 12, I'd go back to pull-ups or diapers at night. The pullups worked better for us, he could put them on himself and he loved that they had Buzz Lightyear on them. Amanda |

This is not going to help with your questions, but it is curious that the situation with our 37 month DD is opposite. She is dry at night and not day-trained. We started potty training (with a soft cushion for the loo) half a year ago but daytime she seems to be too busy until it is too late, while at night she is dry and as soon as she wakes up she insists on running to the loo. So after two months of dry diapers we them off at night with no night-time "accidents" at all. However, she still wears them at the day-care, although weekends we manage to go almost without any diapers and any "accidents." hope this helps -- Lejla/Lyla DD 02 Nov 2000 |

I would go back to pull ups for a while longer. My rule of thumb so far is that if the number of wet nights outweighs the dry ones then they are not ready. We've given trial runs a few times and have gone back to pull ups at night. Recently, he has been waking up to pee, so I think we are close. Thing is, she really *wants* to wear undies at night. Matthew wants it too, but after a few miserable nights he finally told me to put him back in pull ups. Being wet was making him miserable and he really wasn't liking waking up soaked in the middle of the night. She's still pretty young.

there really isn't such a thing as 'night time training' -- they either hold it or they don't. I don't know about that. My oldest was dry in the day for 8 months when we had our 3rd child and decided since we'd be getting up at night with him, we'd also get her up to pee in the night. If she had a diaper on at night, she peed in it. As soon as we put her in underwear at night, she was dry at night (with rare accidents). |

But she wasn't night-time trained/ready until she was 4 years old. I would just keep her in pull-ups until she wakes up dry a few days in a row. Just explain to her that once she stays dry say three nights in a row then she can wear undies at night. Jeanne |
