When Is It Time for No Pull-up's at Night?

My little guy is also 3 1/2. He's been out of Pull-ups at night for quite a while. I thought of putting them back on him a few weeks ago when he had a couple of accidents back to back, but I didn't and he's doing just fine. He sometimes wears footed PJ's to bed and I've taught him to just unzip them without taking them off and he's done really well. He will wake us up when he has to go because he doesn't want to go by himself at night, but he's only had about 3 accidents in months. I think you're safe to stop using them.

I purchased a cheap sheet protector at Wal-Mart (I think it was $20.00 or less) My son is 3 1/2 and as soon as he was potty trained (3 yrs old). I put him to sleep without any diapers. We never used pull ups. We just went cold turkey. No diapers! I told my son that once we used all the diapers, that was it. He was old enough to understand..He didn't like it, but he understood 8-)
When your son wakes you up early in the morning, just get up with him. Soon he'll feel comfortable to just get up and go to the potty on his own in the morning.
We had a few accidents with our son(early morning- never while he was sleeping..knock on wood), but they learn that THEY don't want to pee their pants either 8-)

If you have continual mornings when he get's up and the pull up is dry then go for it , just make sure he goes literally before bed and he should be ok.

My son didn't nap, but I waiting until he had about a month or so of dry diapers in a row before tossing them. I also make sure he pees before bedtime and, knock on wood, we've only had 2 accidents in almost 3 yrs now. Also, if the pull ups were dry in the morning, we'd just use it one more time in the evening.

I would say he is ready to go without, you might buy some chucks *like puppy pads* under the sheet to protect the mattress or a mattress pad. Sounds like he is ready to me though, and if there are accidents don't panic,it happens just let him know that is all it is and go on.

my daughter was potty trained by 2.5 with no pull ups at night I would not give her anything to drink after 6 and made sure she used the potty before going to bed I did put two to three towels down on her bed when we started with no pull ups and it was a lot easier if she did have an accident just pull off the top one and back to bed she went.

i am going through this!! it all depends on your level of comfort with buying the pullups, i think lol. for us i am SO ready to quit having to buy them, times are tough and every little bit helps. my son turned 3 in december and has been potty trained since august, however he has only had a dry night here and there, nothing steady, until this week, when he's had 4 dry nights in a row, and has gotten up to potty once a night each of those nights. i feel like he is ready, with a little encouragement. (and i TOTALLY feel like your son is ready!) if he has only had a couple accidents in three months i think he's beyond ready. accidents do happen, in bed just like anywhere else. we did undies for the first time last night, and i am SO excited to report (altho i did get him up an extra time around 4 am to potty, knowing we weren't getting up early being saturday) that he woke up bone dry! and he was SO proud of himself. we've been talking about it for several days and the gratification on his face when he realized he did it was amazing. i would TOTALLY try it with your son. explain to him what's going on, how he's such a big boy now that he doesn't need a pullup, and make sure he knows that he can, and is able to, get to the potty in the middle of the night if need be (invest in some nightlights, i did and my son loves them). let him know he can come get you if he needs help. i think it's time to let him spread his wings mama, sounds like he's ready! if you're worried about the pj's switch to sweat pants at night for awhile. good luck!

If you have the time and ability to wash sheets and matress pads if there is an accident it seems like he's ready. He is staying dry while sleeping most of the time so I say go fo it.

Well, my advice is to ask him! I was doing the same thing (but for a shorter time than you've been using pull ups) and my son said to me O. night "I just want to wear undies to bed, OK?" I agreed that he could but I kind of braced myself for some nighttime accidents, sheet changes, etc but he NEVER wet the bed once. He knew when he was ready. Ask your son what he thinks.
I understand about the zippy issue but just put him in two piece jammies.

I would say get him out of the zippered sleeper first. He should have no trouble staying covered without it at his age. Then he should have no trouble getting up and going by himself. Good luck!

if he is waking up dry for a few months, put a small potty in his room and train him to use it if he has to go in the night. put him in jammies he can pull up and down by himself.
