Reverting Back to Peeing in Pull Up

So mommy's. I asked a question a few days ago about my 2 year old waking up tons of times to go "potty". So I decided I would take her to the potty every time she asked, but keep the lights off and no conversation or interaction with the exception of helping her. That worked like a charm! Worked in 1 night! Yahoo! Now she is not waking up at all anymore and peeing in her pull up again. What do I do now? Thanks ladies!

What can I do next?

Hi Manige,
How exhausted you must be with this rollercoater! I know, because we were there last month, too. What worked for us was to toss the pullups, and tell her (right before bed) that if she stays dry all night, she will get a sticker at breakfast time. Get the stickers ready, and do it until she quits asking for them. Yes, you will probably have to get up 7 or 8 times a night until she adjusts again, but that is part of the deal. We ended up getting a toddler bed, and leaving lights on low in our son's bedroom and in the bathroom (right next door to his bedroom) so he could get up on his own. Still took over a week, but now we are all sleeping well! Good luck

Manige, yea, I am glad she is back where she was, that is great! What I do is wait until they wake up dry for about seven days, I keep a chart so they can see it too, and then try underwear at night. If she has an accident, then start over until she stays dry for a night or so (how ever long you guys decide on together). She will be doing great in no time. Gook luck with the rest,

I would suggest to stop letting her have anything to drink before bed time. My daughters bed time is at 8:00 sometimes 8:30. She does not get anything to drink after 7:15. This gives her time to go to the potty and no peeing in her pull ups at night. You have to put a stop to the liquid until she really knows the feeling of when she has to go. I did not see your question before this one, but hope that helps. My daughter will be three in Feb. so I know the feeling.

Good Luck,
J.

She's two. It takes kids sometimes until they are 7 or even older to 'get' staying dry at night. Give her a break, let her pee in the pull-up. She will eventually 'get it' about either getting up or holding it during the night. I say kudos that you've gotten this far with her being so young, it may take a little longer to learn how to stay dry at night. This isn't something you can force or make her learn....trust me.

Personal note: I don't know about anyone else but I always, always, always have to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. Doesn't matter how much/little I drink water, I still have to pee.

My daughter was flooding her night diapers. I cut her liquid intake to just a few sips of water after about 8 p.m. And it worked! She is a massive sippie addict, so it was hard, but if I keep an eye on the clock, she gets taken care of and usually don't ask for another before her bed time. I H. this helps. ☺
