I have a 3 year old that is completely potty trained during the day but is unable to wake at night before she has an accident. She will keep on going in her pants all night without waking. Luckily she just pees. Any ideas?
Have you tried one of those potty alarms? It snaps to her panties and then as soon as it gets a tiny bit wet, it goes off. My son was still wetting the bed overnight at age 6...but 3 nightd with that alarm fixed the problem.
I have the same situation. If you get any great ideas let me know...PLEASE!!!! I wake her up before I go to bed and about 6 oclock when my hub goes to work, to pee. She will not get up on her own.
My daughter will be 5 next month and she's still in pull-ups at night. I spoke with the pediatrician about it last month and she said they don't really worry too much about it until about 6 years old. She suggested making her last drink at dinner, make her use the potty before she goes to bed and wake her up before you go to bed to use the potty. I guess when they're between 5-6 they'll start the alarm pads on the bed. Good luck, and I'm very curious to see what advice you get because I'm tired of buying pull-ups!!
There are kids at 9 years old that still that, its just them. I would suggest cutting her drinking off around 7:00 or so and putting the plastic covers over her underware. Try that and see what happens. Good luck
Her body is not ready yet. Put her in pullups or a diaper at night. Some bladders mature later than others. The only thing you can try really is no liquids after a set time, like 6 p.m.
It can take a while for them to notice at night. We just left my daughter in pull-ups at night for about 6 months after she daytime trained. Around the time we noticed a pattern of her waking up dry regularly, she was asking to not wear pull-ups anymore. We got a big pad for her bed and let her try. She's had a couple accidents - but not many. And those are only basically when she is exceptionally tired from missing a nap or having a really busy day. I actually left out an intermediate step of this same process only at nap time before she was ready for bedtime...same thing though - saw pattern of her being dry and so tried not changing into pull-up before nap.
I know some people complain that pull-ups are cheating and I do agree that in general, it makes sense to just go to underpants. There are situations though when it's worth investing in a little insurance. Our rule was pull-ups any time we were going to be some place that getting to a potty within a short time may not be possible. My daught always knew she should still ask for a potty first and she did, but there were a couple times when having the back up really saved the day. Kids can be really sound sleepers - their little bodies are very busy processing the days and growing while they are sleeping. It can take many months - year after daytime training to master night time as well. It's not their fault and hard to really force. I figure you can stress yourself out with bedding laundry every day or look for a temporary solution while their little bodies mature a bit more.
A couple of quick ideas. Cut your daughter's fluid intake before bed. Usually if you stop fluids an hour to an hour and a half before bed, it helps. Also, make sure she uses the potty just before bed each night. When we were little, my sister was a bed wetter and my mom would have her go right before bed. Then when Mom was going to bed, she would walk my sister into the bathroom and put her on the toilet. She would tell her to pee and she would. My sister never woke up. Also, until you can keep her dry at night, you might want to try the good nights pull-ups.
Good luck. I hope this information helps.
My sister actually wakes her son up to go in the middle of the night. She said it wasn't successful until her son turned 4-5. Once in a long while he will have an accident. She also cuts off liquids an hour or so before bedtime and makes sure he goes before he sleeps. Hope this helps.
it took my daughter a long time also to get potty trained over night. i think she was about 3 1/2 before she went all night with out a wet diaper. it was just something that she grew out of. she just kinda did it on her own. but to help with the problem i didn't allow her to have a drink 2 hours before bed. that seemed to work.
This is actually completely normal. Both of my kids, who are now 9 and 11, did the same thing. I just put a pull up on them at night. She should begin to stay dry at night on her own with in her own time. Good luck. What a nice feeling huh???
I have a 4yr old that still wets at night. I don't think it is uncommon. The doctor has told me when she is ready she will start with dry nights not to stress it.
you should try using pull ups at night. It will cut down on the cleaning. My daughter is 3 and she won't potty train. Do you have any ideas.My youngest son is almost 2 and he goes 4 times a day. I used pull ups on my olderst when he was that age.
My three older children all had to wear pull ups until they were almost four. About two months before their fourth birthdays, they went without the pull ups at night. Hang in there.
Try using the Goodnites until she learns to wake up at night. Or set a time at night which will be the last time to have any juice or water and then right before bed have her go.
