Potty Train at Night

Hi
Iam having the same issue with my 4yo. I just bought an enuresis alarm from ebay. It makes a noise and flashes when his uderwear get wet. The theory is that the child will begin to associate the feeling of urination with waking up (about 3 weeks). The second night I added the incentive of a small reward (chocolate) if he got up to go potty, and was dry in the morning. He was dry the second night. Tonight will be the third night, so I will let you know how it goes.

i agree with what some of the other posts say. limit drinks after a certain time, go to the bathroom before bed. When it comes to potty training, children are very unique. my daughter has been fully potty trained since 19 months and the only time she has ever wet the bed was when she was in a deep sleep from cold medicine. I don't know if this would work for you but with my daughter i put a little fear in her. not the type where i scare her or anything like that but she hates to be dirty. I told her that peeing on herself was a very dirty act and she should make sure she go to the bathroom like she is suppose to. maybe its a way to keep it in her subconscious so when she feels that urge she will know to go.

I hope I was of some help.

Unless you are lucky, most kids do not stop wetting at night until 5 or 6 years old.

She isn't ready. My daughter (will be 6 in Nov.) goes to the bathroom before going to bed and when she wakes up her pull up is full of pee. A friend on the other hand has a boy who was out of pulls ups around the age of 3 at night. Every child is different.

I have one kid and what i did worked for us. But i only have experience with on and i have a son not a daughter. But you can try. My son is 3 and he has been fully pottytrained before he turned 3.
I first wouldn't let him drink anything 3 hrs before bed. So i made sure that he would have enought before the 3 hrs came along. Then i would have him potty right before i put him in bed. I usually went to bed around 9 every night and i would set my alarm between 11pm to 1am, depending on how i felt, and picked him up out of bed and had him pee. Some nights it would take a min or so for him to go but he's tired so what can you expect.;-) And then put him back to bed. And then on the week days we wake up early to go to work so he went when he got up, but on the weekend allot of time i would have to wake him up and take him in the morning early. Sometimes he would have already went pee before i had gotten him in the middle of the night, but after awhile i was able to wake him up at 9 or 10pm and we wouldn't pee is bed all night and now we go right before bed and if he has to go in the middle of the night he gets up and goes. Usually it's just really early morning like 5 or 6 am. I did that for about 2 or 3 months and he's doing great. No accidents since.

Any questions write me and i'll try to help or explain more.

Hope this helps.

I just got done potty training my son and I just refused to put him in pullups at night and naptime. I didn't want him to get used to being able to pee in them and then train him at night too. Your daughter shouldn't be urinating in her sleep and if she is then it might actually be a bettwetting issue and not a potty training issue. My son will urinate in his underwear right when he wakes if he doesn't rush to the potty. I had my son peeing in his underwear 3 days in a row until he figured out he needed to hurry and get out of bed and go get on the potty. I would suggest trying undies at night. She won't get the idea that she needs to get up and go potty if she's still in the pullup and knows she can just pee in it. I also limit my sons liquids after 6pm. He's allowed a drink at dinner and if he wants something else then I give him a few sips of water. I also try to get into my sons room when he wakes up and remind him to go potty so he doesn't get lazy. Good luck and she'll do it eventualy.

Don't force her. Night time is hard. She will stop when she is able to. I agree with putting panties on her. Sometimes they wake up and are just lazy, so they go in the pull-up, doesn't bother them because of wetness protection, but panties will feel wet and uncomfortable, she will wake up when she feels wet and possibly stop sooner.

My daughter stopped bed-wetting at 3, my son continued until he turned 8, still has the occasional accident. The doc just says it's bladder size and growth patterns, they will outgrow when ready.

On your end, you can say no do drinks 2 hours before bed, also serve dinner around that time as well. Dinner at 6, bed at 8., nothing in between. If her bladder is empty, there's no mess to be made!

I am still trying to get my nearly 3 year old son to go poo in the toilet, so I can't speak from experience, but something that might work that I will try later when he's more ready is putting him in underwear, THEN the pull up because then he can still feel it when he gets wet and there is somewhat of a consequence of being wet and waking up/changing, etc., yet you don't have the mess to clean up in bed (just the undies!) Whew, long sentence-needed a period in there somewhere!
Good luck to you, L.!
Best,

Just put undies on her. Granted I have a boy ( i hear they are harder) and he is dry all night. We have him go pee before he goes to bed and then about an hour later we'll have him go pee again. He isn't always asleep because him and his sister share a room. He is 2 1/2 and she is 1. It takes consistency and them realizing they are wet. Pull ups draw the urine away from her. Also, I'd be chekcin other things out and making sure it isn't a bedwetting situation. Stress along iwth a number of other reasons can cause kids to bedwet. Talk to your doctor and yoru daughter to make sure soemthing else isn't going on.
