Wow, I totally missed this part until I saw your reply to Sophie, which made
me
come back and look again. I think I paged down and stopped at what I
*thought*
was the end of your post, but it wasn't. Sorry. My reply must have looked
pretty senseless!

oh no problem -- we are all talking to the world here and often these
things meander off in odd directions anyway

nightime training!
From: "Sophie"

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).

THis is the case with Jess, too; if she wears a diaper, anytime, she'll pee in
it, even though she's perfectly capable of staying dry. That's why I figured
I'd give it a try at night when she wanted to. It doesn't matter the least bit
to *me* if she wears diapers at night or not, they're no big deal. She does
have a rash on her bum that just doesn't clear up though, since she's been in
undies at night it's dramatically better (even with the accidents).

f 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.

Pullups give her an *awful* rash! Not sure why so much worse than diapers,
which also give her one. And, she just considers them a diaper, so they don't
help her as far as training is concerned. I think you're probably right,
though. I may give it one or two more nights and then call it quits, if she
doesn't throw a fit.

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. HTH

It does, thanks! I know, she is young. Most of the accidents have been around
6 am, so I think she's really close (though 2 times it was more like 3 am). She
was miserable, too. THough today, she never even woke me up; I heard her awake,
went into her room, and found her in new undies, new pants and her pajama top,
playing, and she exlaimed "pee pee in my bed mommy!" when I walked in. LOL.

It is not expected that a kid who is that young will stay dry at night.

there really isn't such a thing as 'night time training' -- they either
hold it or they don't. The fact that she wets most nights suggests that
she doeesn't have the ability to stay dry all night yet. This is caused
by hormones that allow the maturing person to concentrate urine at night
like adults do. kids who don't generate that hormone yet, produce
volume at night and generally wet.


This was true of our daughter - she was night "trained" well before she
was completely potty-trained in the daytime, but we can't take any
credit for it.

Yep sorry, I must have done the same thing or something.

Same here. DS simply didn't wet at night from about 2.5 years old, so
once he was ready to be dry at day (which was definatly an emotional
rather than physical readiness at over 3 years old), we went straight
from nappies to undies. We were lucky. We didn't do a thing!
