One day she refused to wear a diaper to bed. I went along with it and then all of the sudden she was dry in her underwear every morning. She must have just been consciously peeing in the diaper when she first woke up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/night-training-tips-and-go#post-2764475 Wed, 02 Aug 2017 13:37:33 +0000 sojellybean 2764475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If she is crying about the diapers but still wet in the morning, maybe try a cloth trainer for night time? DD was night trained by 3 but it certainly wasn't anything I did or encouraged. She was dry consistently for about a month and we let her wear undies. We've had a few accidents/poop issues but our Hanna Anderson training unders do well with those. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/night-training-tips-and-go#post-2764456 Wed, 02 Aug 2017 12:57:51 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2764456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just had to wait it out. It was sometime around 3.5- 3y9m, about a year post potty training that she just started waking up dry and that was that! She's our oldest so of course we were waiting and waiting but other than having to wait it was no stress, which was nice. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/night-training-tips-and-go#post-2764449 Wed, 02 Aug 2017 12:54:42 +0000 Mrs. Carrot 2764449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@StrawberryShortie: In my experience, it's true as well (that they just need to grow into it). My 4 year old was night trained before she was fully day trained, ironically, whereas many friends had kids who day trained before they were 3 but are now approaching 4 and are still not night trained. The methods I've seen for "night training" is waking them up, and the lost sleep to me was never worth it. Once my daughter was waking up dry consistently, we just took the diapers off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/night-training-tips-and-go#post-2764416 Wed, 02 Aug 2017 12:10:39 +0000 HeartAbandoned 2764416@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used the Oh Crap! Potty Training book and day &amp; night trained simultaneously at 27 months. For us, night training looked like this: at first, we would take DS to potty at bed time, then again before we went to bed (around 10 pm) and then would set an alarm to get up with him at 2 am to potty. We kept a little potty on the floor in his room and got a soft night light so he wouldn't wake up all the way. If he wet the bed in any of those time spans, we changed his jammies and laid down a big fluffy towel for him to sleep on. We use a water proof mattress pad and change sheets in the morning. We'd also adjust the timing of the pee breaks to try to avoid an accident the next night. Eventually we were able to move the 2 am to 3 am to 4 am, and then we dropped it all together. We also dropped the 10 pm shortly after. Now, DS wakes up for the day dry, or he'll wake up and ask to potty in the night. We ditched diapers in March, and at this point in early August, he's not had any accidents in more than a month. If he does happen to have one, we don't make a big deal out of it; just remind him to call for us if he needs to potty and get him changed/lay down a towel. For us the key was being ok with washing pee laundry when we needed to. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/night-training-tips-and-go#post-2764298 Wed, 02 Aug 2017 09:15:19 +0000 Banana330 2764298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're not quite there yet.. but friends have done the middle of night pee break thing with success. Take them before you go to bed for a pee again, you don't have to wake them just carry them sleepily to the toilet and back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/night-training-tips-and-go#post-2764297 Wed, 02 Aug 2017 09:11:45 +0000 Charm54 2764297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My dd is almost 4 and just night trained ... she was waking up dry most of the time (75%) and no longer wanted to wear pull ups so we just went with it. She had a couple of accidents in the beginning but has been dry for the past two weeks or so. </p> <p>I bought a peapod mat which made changing the sheets in the middle of the night a breeze, and it gives me peace of mind when she has sleepovers at grandmas or when we are traveling. It's awesome!<br /> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/PeapodMats-3x5-Waterproof-Bedwetting-Incontinence/dp/B01695MHPU" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/PeapodMats-3x5-Waterproof-Bedwetting-Incontinence/dp/B01695MHPU</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/night-training-tips-and-go#post-2764277 Wed, 02 Aug 2017 08:46:07 +0000 erinbaderin 2764277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is she wearing an actual diaper, or is it a pull-up? My son believes there's a difference, and if at bedtime I say "Ok, let's put on your diaper" he gets VERY indignant ("It's NOT a diaper!"). Would switching products to something a little more underpantsy help your daughter feel better? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/night-training-tips-and-go#post-2764276 Wed, 02 Aug 2017 08:46:00 +0000 HappyBaker 2764276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agree with above, we just waited for her to be dry every morning for a week or two and then switched. If she's Day potty trained I think if she was ready she would be waking up before peeing in the diaper at night. If she doesn't then she's probably just not ready. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/night-training-tips-and-go#post-2764275 Wed, 02 Aug 2017 08:45:28 +0000 Mamaof2 2764275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@StrawberryShortie: if she is wet every morning I would leave her in diapers. Our Ped told us that it was normal for kids to wet the bed until age 7 - so at 3.5 I would just give her time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/night-training-tips-and-go#post-2764271 Wed, 02 Aug 2017 08:37:46 +0000 looch 2764271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@StrawberryShortie: In some kids it happens much later than others. It isn't uncommon for 9 year olds to wet the bed...it makes sense that there's a reason for those larger over night protection underwear!</p> <p>The action you want is that she wakes up to go to the bathroom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/night-training-tips-and-go#post-2764267 Wed, 02 Aug 2017 08:24:37 +0000 StrawberryShortie 2764267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mamaof2 no always so wet which makes me concerned that she is uncomfortable... She also loves water before bed (can't sleep without it)</p> <p>@looch is that true? How will she learn if the diaper stops her from feeling wet? This fascinating I've never heard this..She starts JK in Sept. so I thought she should probably be ready before then, no? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/night-training-tips-and-go#post-2764266 Wed, 02 Aug 2017 08:22:16 +0000 looch 2764266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There is no such thing as night training. It's a process that has to happen naturally. Kids bodies develop to secrete an enzyme that produces less urine overnight. Additionally, they will learn to wake up to go to the bathroom, that's the action you are looking for.</p> <p>I know a lot of parents think they contributed by giving them no water after a certain time frame, but that's just coincidence. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/night-training-tips-and-go#post-2764265 Wed, 02 Aug 2017 08:21:33 +0000 Mamaof2 2764265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@StrawberryShortie: is she dry in the morning?</p> <p>I waited till my kids were dry every morning for 2 weeks and then stopped - DS never had an accident after that and DD had a few here and there </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/night-training-tips-and-go#post-2764262 Wed, 02 Aug 2017 08:19:26 +0000 StrawberryShortie 2764262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is 3.5 and is fully potty trained during the day and doing wonderfully.</p> <p>Last night she cried because she didn't want to wear a diaper to bed anymore...I was already planning to train her soon, but I think this is a sign she's ready now.</p> <p>Any tips? methods? </p> <p>For reference with day time potty training we just switched to undies cold turkey and kind of did a three day method. </p>
