Wakes up with a soaking wet Pull-up every. damn. morning. She's attempted to try overnights 2-3 times and when I check on her at midnight, she's soaked the bed and is still sleeping like a rock! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-till-lo-wakes-up-dry-overnight#post-2481319 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 11:13:56 +0000 Mama Bird 2481319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sorry, I voted the last option :silly: DS is almost 3.5 and he still doesn't have this down consistently. The kid sleeps like a log, so when we tried putting him in undies hoping the consequences will wake him up, it was a total fail. He's getting there though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-till-lo-wakes-up-dry-overnight#post-2481308 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 11:02:12 +0000 pastemoo 2481308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ValentineMommy: Well over a year, and the pediatrician told us not to worry if he still occasionally wets the bed till age 5. :/<br /> Unfortunately for me, he refused to wear any kind of non-underwear "that's a diapey mommy!" item almost immediately from potty training (would wake up with it on the floor). They make all kinds of different mats and things, or you can deal with the sheets. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-till-lo-wakes-up-dry-overnight#post-2481299 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 10:54:43 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2481299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Every child is so different. There are 8 year olds still having to wear pull-ups and that's okay. Everyone is different! </p> <p>My son is 4, been potty trained for over a year and still doesn't wake up dry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-till-lo-wakes-up-dry-overnight#post-2481259 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 10:28:13 +0000 Jess1483 2481259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SeptMomma12: I pretty much just put the potty in his room and told him he was on his own. I think for awhile I told him I'd come once but no more. Then not at all. And then he started sleeping through. When he does wake now, he goes on his own. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-till-lo-wakes-up-dry-overnight#post-2480360 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 16:10:17 +0000 QBbride 2480360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS has been day trained since Christmas and still wears a diaper for naps and nighttime. his diaper is soaked every morning and I don't think he's anywhere close to being dry. He's 2 years 8 months now. Honestly it doesn't bother me in the least! I've heard it can take years even before they wake up dry (sorry, I know it's not what you want to hear!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-till-lo-wakes-up-dry-overnight#post-2480349 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 16:05:49 +0000 Pumuckl 2480349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ValentineMommy: I can't answer the poll but DS was dry immediately when he decided he was done with diapers. He just didn't want to wear them anymore so we told him the pull-up had to stay dry so that's what he did. So he trained daytime and nighttime at once. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-till-lo-wakes-up-dry-overnight#post-2479726 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 10:49:05 +0000 jmarionsmith 2479726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 3.5 and we day trained just over a year ago. He still wakes up with a soaked pull up overnight. Like others, I'm just not willing to get up to either change sheets several times or to wake him to pee, especially while his 18 month old sister still has several wake ups a night. :bummed: </p> <p>He has been napping (when he actually naps) without a pull up for close to 6 months now, but will have an occasional accident during nap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-till-lo-wakes-up-dry-overnight#post-2479710 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 10:42:29 +0000 cascademom 2479710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our 3.5 year old was potty trained at 2 years old. We kept him in diapers at night for about 6 months or so. After his baby brother was born, he wanted nothing to do with diapers, so we put him in undies at night. He still had a nighttime potty break to stave off wetting the bed. Within the past few months since moving, he can go all night in undies without any issue at 3.5 years old. So, it's been a 1.5 year long process for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-till-lo-wakes-up-dry-overnight#post-2479654 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 10:21:19 +0000 SeptMomma12 2479654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Jess1483: Same thing here! I was not prepared for that part of potty training :shocked: And my son refuses to let Daddy take him potty in the middle of the night too. I don't get it! How did you get him to go on his own? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-till-lo-wakes-up-dry-overnight#post-2479613 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 09:49:18 +0000 yin 2479613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was lucky and night trained at the same time. I figured I would just deal with the wet bedsheets and see where we go from there. Well he surprised me and had no accidents. He has been potty trained since 27 months, and he does occasionally wet his bed (maybe once every other month or so). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-till-lo-wakes-up-dry-overnight#post-2479597 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 09:37:05 +0000 rachiecakes 2479597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been told many times that boys take longer to night train and you can't really train them.<br /> DS is 4 and still wears a PullUp to bed. Most mornings he's dry, but I don't want to change sheets or wake up because of an accident and we don't have laundry in our building, so I'd have to make arrangements for that as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-till-lo-wakes-up-dry-overnight#post-2479596 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 09:35:31 +0000 Jess1483 2479596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pretty quickly, because he started waking up to go potty. I hated it... (especially because I was pregnant with #2 and really needed the sleep, and apparently daddy isn't allowed to help with middle-of-the-night potty breaks). And then it became "I have to pee" every 2 hours, and we had to break that habit. He now consistently sleeps through without using the potty and/or will go on his own without waking us, but it was a rough transition.</p> <p>All of which is to say, don't rush it ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-till-lo-wakes-up-dry-overnight#post-2479587 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 09:28:00 +0000 sunshineandsushi 2479587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it depends on the child. We potty trained my sons at just under 2.5 yrs old. Within a few weeks of being day trained, I noticed that they were staying dry throughout the whole night, but early morning when they started stirring, that's when they'd pee. So a few weeks after day-training, we took away the diapers/pull-ups. After one or two wake-up accidents, they were good. I think I just lucked out because I really didn't do any true night-training. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-till-lo-wakes-up-dry-overnight#post-2479553 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 09:09:24 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2479553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD1 was 30 months when we trained. We had her in diapers overnight for the first few weeks but she only woke up wet once. In the seven months since we've had three wet bed incidents and one "there's peepee in my bed/totally dry bed" freak out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-till-lo-wakes-up-dry-overnight#post-2479548 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 09:05:53 +0000 Revel 2479548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD was trained by early December this year and we're just now having dry nights, but she still wants her night diaper. Problem now is she wakes at least once a night to pee! I'm hoping it will pass soon as she gets more used to not going in her sleep. It is tiring.</p> <p>ETA LO is a little over 2.5. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-till-lo-wakes-up-dry-overnight#post-2479526 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 08:55:55 +0000 deerylou 2479526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We stopped putting a pull-up on overnight just this week and she's been fully trained for about a month. In reality, she only woke with a lightly wet pull-up the first 2-3 mornings after I considered her day trained. Mostly, the night pull-up was my own safeguard against the fear of her soaking through the bed. She wakes me or DH in the night maybe 3x/week to use the potty, but otherwise sleeps through and remains dry. She's 2.5. That being said, I think it's far, far more common for it to take 6-12+ months to do away with the overnight pee. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-till-lo-wakes-up-dry-overnight#post-2479482 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 08:35:25 +0000 lovehoneybee 2479482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 3.5, has been day-trained for several months, and still wears a night pull-up. He wakes up wet, and I have no interest in waking him up to pee every night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-till-lo-wakes-up-dry-overnight#post-2479477 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 08:29:01 +0000 looch 2479477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son just turned 5, I'd say he was consistently dry in the last year, and probably part of the year before that. We day trained at age 3 and he still wears a pull up at night (his choice) and I am fine with it because as a working mom, I don't want to deal with extra laundry during the week. Of course if he wanted to go to underwear, I'd be fine with that too.</p> <p>The thing you actually want them to do is to wake up in the night when they need to use the bathroom, not hold it overnight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-till-lo-wakes-up-dry-overnight#post-2479476 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 08:28:59 +0000 ValentineMommy 2479476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: I'm in no particular rush! I honestly just had no idea it could take so long.</p> <p>I'd much rather keep him in pull ups for longer than have to change wet sheets/pjs overnight! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-till-lo-wakes-up-dry-overnight#post-2479441 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 08:10:40 +0000 hilsy85 2479441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our pedi said it can take til 6 years old for boys. Why do you want him out of pull ups at night? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-till-lo-wakes-up-dry-overnight#post-2479436 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 08:04:37 +0000 MrsF 2479436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>M has been day trained for about 9 months but she's still in a diaper that's always soaked at night. I'm in no rush and I think it's physiological. I think if we got rid of the diaper her sheets would be soaked every night and she'd be upset too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-till-lo-wakes-up-dry-overnight#post-2479427 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 07:54:49 +0000 Smurfette 2479427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She was day trained in September. She stays dry for nap. But outside a few odd nights when she wakes up dry (nights she doesn't really eat dinner) she is wet every morning. She will be 3 next week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-till-lo-wakes-up-dry-overnight#post-2479425 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 07:52:15 +0000 Adira 2479425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're not there yet - Xander is potty trained during the day, but still wakes up wet for naps once a week and nighttime, forget about it. My best friend said her daughter took a couple years before she didn't need a pull-up at night. Some kids just take a while! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-till-lo-wakes-up-dry-overnight#post-2479417 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 07:46:43 +0000 winniebee 2479417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ValentineMommy: he doesn't usually wake up to pee anymore so that's good. In my May 2012 moms group it seems many are still in pull ups. And if they aren't there is still a fair amount of sheet changing. I have zero desire to change sheets MOTN and he's fine with wearing a pull up so pull ups it is! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-till-lo-wakes-up-dry-overnight#post-2479416 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 07:45:02 +0000 regberadaisy 2479416@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think 2-3 months? Probably a month in she was good and we stopped the pull ups overnight. She had two accidents within days of each other and was pretty distraught over it. So we put her back in pull ups. Then a month or so later she started waking up dry again. After a week or so of that we pulled it. We haven't used a pull up overnight since around 30 months? ETA: only 1 or 2 accidents since? She will be 4 next month.</p> <p>But my nephew who is the same age and was trained a few months after her still uses and pees in the pull up overnight. it just depends! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-till-lo-wakes-up-dry-overnight#post-2479414 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 07:42:35 +0000 ValentineMommy 2479414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: :bummed: That's not what I wanted to hear!! Lol! I guess it's totally physiological, isn't it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-till-lo-wakes-up-dry-overnight#post-2479413 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 07:41:50 +0000 JoJoGirl 2479413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did the OCPT boot camp in August, so 6 months ago. LO has just recently started having *fewer* accidents (they were daily up until a couple of weeks ago) and wakes up soaked every morning. She usually wakes up dry from naps, though. She'll be 3 in May. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-till-lo-wakes-up-dry-overnight#post-2479410 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 07:32:03 +0000 winniebee 2479410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Honestly it's been a year. He trained a few months before 3. He then started waking up at night to pee but we kept him in a pull up. He wakes up dry most nights but at least once a week is wet. He's almost 4. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-till-lo-wakes-up-dry-overnight#post-2479408 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 07:30:20 +0000 ValentineMommy 2479408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS has been potty trained (daytime and naps) for about a month now.</p> <p>He's wearing overnight pullups at night. I'm not trying to rush it, but just wondering how long I can expect it to take for him to wake up dry? His pull up is still pretty soaked and I have no plans to wake him (or myself) up to put him on the potty. </p>
