We tried a little after my son turned 6. First with wake ups and recently we quit because we were so tired and he wasn’t learning to go on his own. Now we just hope?? He doesn’t want to wear pull ups anymore and is motivated it’s just not working. Potty training #2 was also a years-long process for us. Ped says 7 or even later is totally normal for boys... We do a lot of laundry!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/night-toilet-training-whats-next#post-2886792 Wed, 05 Jun 2019 12:01:21 +0000 KT326 2886792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mommy Finger: That is hard. Luckily (?) my son doesn't seem to care. But he has nothing to compare it to. My youngest is only 2.5 and just starting his potty training. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/night-toilet-training-whats-next#post-2886778 Wed, 05 Jun 2019 11:09:22 +0000 Mommy Finger 2886778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Sunshine: Yup, my 4yo is in undies too. The 6.5 yo is NOT happy about it...</p> <p>@KT326: You're right. My ped isn't worried about it either. My SIL said my nephew had issues up until he was 10. I believe it was occasional at that point but oh my goodness, I can't imagine 3-4 more years of this. I just hate it b/c I know DS1 is self conscious about it. Poor guy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/night-toilet-training-whats-next#post-2886776 Wed, 05 Jun 2019 11:04:36 +0000 KT326 2886776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mommy Finger: My 7 year old (March birthday) is still in pull ups at night. We don't wake to potty either. I'm starting to notice more dry mornings, but not enough for me to quit the pull ups. We just had his annual physical and the pediatrician wasn't worried, just might take longer especially since DH was a bed wetter until he was 9-10. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/night-toilet-training-whats-next#post-2886750 Wed, 05 Jun 2019 08:27:46 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2886750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mommy Finger: us too. My 4 year old sleeps in undies but my 5.5 year old just isn't there yet... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/night-toilet-training-whats-next#post-2886708 Tue, 04 Jun 2019 21:06:56 +0000 Mommy Finger 2886708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, DS1 is 6.5 and a super heavy sleeper. Waking him up at night to try to pee before we go to bed doesn't work. Just putting him in undies and praying for the best hasn't worked. So we just are waiting for it to happen....:( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/night-toilet-training-whats-next#post-2886602 Tue, 04 Jun 2019 10:01:26 +0000 Mrs. Toad 2886602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <br /><p><i>This comment has been deleted by the original poster.</i></p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/night-toilet-training-whats-next#post-2886601 Tue, 04 Jun 2019 10:01:26 +0000 Mrs. Toad 2886601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never woke up my son at night, but the diaper was always warm. I decided on a Friday night to put him in underwear. He stayed dry all night. We did have an accident a few days later, but he refused to go to the restroom right before bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/night-toilet-training-whats-next#post-2886588 Tue, 04 Jun 2019 09:11:58 +0000 ALV91711 2886588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think you just have to start skipping the waking them to pee and see what happens. I would just make sure they go to the bathroom first thing when they get up.</p> <p>We stopped night pull ups with DS1 at 4.5. I was pretty nervous as he didn't always wake dry but I think he peed when he woke up and not overnight. I never did the wake him up to pee before I went to bed. I just made sure the first thing he did was go to the washroom. It's been almost 2 years and he has never had a night time accident. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/night-toilet-training-whats-next#post-2886582 Tue, 04 Jun 2019 08:41:56 +0000 gotkimchi 2886582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would try skipping one night on your 6yo and see what happens, maybe she’s ready now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/night-toilet-training-whats-next#post-2886581 Tue, 04 Jun 2019 08:39:09 +0000 PinkElephant 2886581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My kids are heavy sleepers who were in pull ups for a long time - I thought they would just start getting dry eventually, but they didn't....so I started (while they still wore pull ups) taking them to the bathroom before I go to bed. Recently we finally decided to pull the pull-ups, since on the occasions they WERE wet in the morning, I'm pretty sure it was laziness and not actual accidents, haha.</p> <p>They're currently in underwear at night and (usually) dry in the AM... however, I wake them to use the toilet before I go to bed. They really aren't even fully awake, and say they don't remember me doing it. I would like to eventually stop waking them, but don't really know how/when to go about it.</p> <p>For those who had kids who were dry at night at a bit older age (like 5 or so), and were doing a nighttime potty run - what were your "next steps"....i.e., how did you transition away from waking them at night to letting them fully sleep through. My oldest (6.75) has seemed annoyed the past two nights when I've woken her up...but she has peed when I take her to the bathroom.</p> <p>Thanks!! </p>
