hello my daughter is 3 yrs old fixin to be 4. i have had her potty trained for allmost a year now n all of a sudden she has been goin potty in the bed. I make sure she dont drink anything for bout 30 mins before bed time but she still does. Plz help, im so confused on wut else to do.. i have done just about everything i know to do. she has dora panties that she picked out n we tell her constantly how she is a big girl when she goes potty.
Hi C., something that works for any age is to dring little bits of Orange Juice in the evening instead of milk or water - it has something in it that restricts the need to go through the night. Also, try waking them up before you go to bed to go potty and then put them right back to bed (not too much light though or they will think it's time to get up).
There may be something new going on with her emotionally. Maybe she's having a problem with a friend or a new situation? Also, when I talked to my doc about Potty Training she said not to expect my daughter to go all night. Most kids aren't truly potty trained at night until 4 or 5 years. I've also read this. So I would suggest putting her in a diaper or pull-up at night. Whatever you do, please try not to put pressure on her. It can backfire and prolong the bed-wetting.
Put her in a diaper at night. When she asks why she can't wear Dora, tell her it's because she's having accidents. If she has any control over it, she will stop wetting. If not - at least she's potty trained by day. Regressions are common at 3, as they're mastering new skills and sleep a little deeper at night - could be her bladder hasn't caught up with her (rapidly growing) body.
my son is 4 yrs old and potties once in awhile at night. I explained to him that...when he feels like he needs to go potty at night to get up and go ....like mommy and daddy. However he still has acidents ...we like the Goodnight pants and put a rubber sheet under his regular one (Walmart sells them for about 10.00)
She might have a problem with her bladder. It is best to get it checked out by her Pediatrician and/or a Specialist. In the meantime, you can always have her wear pull-ups, at night, so that she isn't getting the bed wet as often.
You might want to check with her pediatrician. Just to make sure there is nothing medically wrong with her. If she's been doing good for a year and all of a sudden she's not. I say check with her pediatrician just to make sure, then again I am not a doctor. Maybe there is nothing wrong and is just her. Just to be on the safe side and to do what is right to help her. You don't want to make her feel bad and frustrate her. I say find out if it's a medical issue and go from there. I wish you the best of luck!!
has there been any major changes in her life? new baby, a move, change of care givers for example? sometimes when there is a change children sometimes regress. if that is the case just keep encouraging her and help her adjust to the changes also make sure she potties right before you put her to bed. if there hasn't been any changes and it continues i would take her to her doctor just to make sure there isn't a urinary problem. just be patient and remember it is normal for children who have been potty trained for a while to regress sometimes.

Is there anything happening in her life that is causing stress? Maybe a change in daycares, difficulty at home? It sounds like it could be stress related.
Three is still pretty young -- use a pull up or diaper until she's fully ready. Sometimes it takes awhile depending on the child. I would also cut drink time to an hour before bed time, which I do with my own 2.5 year old. Some nights she wakes up totally dry, others wet... just be patient. It'll happen before you know it! But I don't think it's something you can push or train (in the sleep), it's a maturity thing. Good luck!
Instead of not letting her have anything to drink 30 minutes before bed try not letting her have anything to drink an hour and a half before bed and make it a habbit that right before bed you have her try to go potty in the potty. This might help. Or maybe if you keep an air conditioner on at night, she might be too cold and not really need to go potty and have an accident, but the coldness of the room makes her have an accident. Let me know how things work.
Some kids grow quicker than their bladders it could just be a phase with that or maybe try the doctor my sister had something wrong and they didnt find out till she was 6. she wet the bed at night for 3 years.... Best of luck
Once kids are potty trained they usually stay that way and since she is doing it at night it could be somethingelse. Most children who bed wet is due to something else so if I were you I would keep a diary as to what is going on about an hr before she goes to bed at night and get with her pediatrician.
Hi C., As a mother to two sons who wet the bed at night.. I know how you feel.. It's frusterating and it's also not their fault... Bed wetting happens and when my oldest started to wet, it wasn't until he was about 3 years old. I use to get so mad, but had seeked out help... It's a sleeping disorder and no matter what you give them to drink before bed you cannot control it.. Limiting there drinks before bed will help but it's not the cure... They do have alarms out there that they recommend to use on the bed and sounds off when they start to pee.. But she is only three and most of the time they will outgrow it.. I wouldn't worry to much about it until they hit school age and more so when they do sleep overs. It can cause self esteem issues, so just be there for them and and tell them it isn't their fault.. But mostly they will outgrow it... In the mean time, coupons for pull-ups help a lot.
