She was out of diapers overnight by 30 months because she had stopped wetting them. There'd been a few accidents before we got there and she was REALLY distraught. She was soaking wet, shaking and cold. I would not recommend intentionally doing that.

@DillonLion: My son has been potty trained for a year and he goes through periods of waking up dry and periods of waking up soaked. For 8 months after he potty trained, he woke at night and peed. Every night. We still kept him in a pull up. But now, he never wakes up at night and wakes wet a lot. Maybe I missed the boat and should have yanked the pull up when he was waking at night to pee....but we had an infant at the time and I did not want to be changing sheets MOTN. He's 4. I'm not worried though.

Our pediatrician was very specific about not forcing night time potty training. I don't remember the specifics - something about may not be biologically ready and not wanting to restrict water at night (which causes other issues related to dehydration). She also mentioned that the developmental marker is that kids be dry overnight by the time they turn 6.

My son was out of diapers within about 2 months of potty training. It would have been earlier, but he had a broken leg so we couldn't take the risk of getting the cast wet.

My DD has been potty trained for about 6 weeks and she is still in diapers at night. We tried diaper free a few times because she initially had a few dry diapers, but she just can't do yet. And I really hate changing sheets in the middle of the night.

My LO has been totally day trained since before Christmas, and she is still waking up every morning with a soaked pull up. We haven't attempted night time undies yet because she also drinks a lot of water overnight--yes, wakes in the middle of the night 1-2 times for water--and I don't want to force her to stop drinking.

Day trained at 24 months. We didn't night train and I'm of the mindset that it isn't something can be trained. Probably around 2.5 she would consistently wake up dry overnight.

We probably used pull ups until she was 3 (can't remember exactly). I just really hated the thought of wet sheets in the middle of the night.

We have friends that have been day trained since they were 2 and at 5 they are still in pull-ups at night. Some wake up dry for weeks and occasionally have an accident and others always wake up with a wet pull up. Like pp said I don't think docs start to worry about it until after 6

DD naturally stayed dry overnight a week after she was potty trained.
I put overnights on her every night for 2-3 weeks and finally ditched them bc I didn't wanna keep throwing away dry diapers.
She's never had an accident overnight

DS was potty trained at 26 months and at 3yr4months still wears overnights. He's been staying dry and waking up to go potty, so I'm planning on ditching the pull-up overnights once we run out.

DS is also 3.5 and still wakes up with a totally full nighttime pull up. I also put him in a cloth diaper for nap time and he keeps it dry sometimes but usually it is wet. I am working on nap time first but I'm not as worried about it because he'll eventually give up the nap.
My sister recommended getting him up to pee when DH and I go to bed so he gets used to getting up and being dry. We tried it but I think he would pee just before we'd get him because he'd already be wet and wouldn't be able to go more than a few drops. I think we'll try that method again soon.

LO potty trained a little before 2.5 years old. but I didn't do nap/night training until much later bc I was scared to. We did nap training first (kind of on accident bc she would fall asleep without diapers) and almost never had any accidents.

At 3 years, I bit the bullet and just put her in underwear bc we ran out of diapers, LO2 was coming soon, and why not? She was always consistently dry so I figured why not. In fact, she would wake up in the morning, take her own diapers off (we never used pull ups), and go potty by herself anyways. Well, she wet the bed like every night. I even gave up after two weeks and put her back in diapers bc I pregnant and tired of doing laundry. When she was back in diapers, she was dry. Finally, after a month, something just clicked and she rarely has any accidents. My husband goes to bed kind of late (1am) and he takes her sometimes in the middle of the night, just in case.

I asked the same question a few months ago!

DS1 has been totally potty trained for a little over 3 months (he's 3). We used pullups at night. I told him once he could keep his pull up dry for a whole month overnight that we could switch him to undies and ditch the pullups. It took him 2 months or so, but we recently just ditched the pullups and we've been good so far!

That being said, I would just wait until she's ready and already waking up dry. Some kids take longer than others, and I don't think just having her wet the bed is going to help.

For us it was within a couple of days after he day trained at 30m.

DS is 4 and still wears Pull-Ups. Every time I think we're going to ditch them, he has a night accident (in the Pull-Up). I'm not pushing though.
