Maybe that could be a good way to transition to less water or no water right before bedtime? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-did-we-ever-potty-train#post-2197457 Wed, 03 Jun 2015 07:37:44 +0000 Freckles 2197457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did exactly what @sandy: did. I also have to make sure I remember to keep offering her water before going upstairs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-did-we-ever-potty-train#post-2197446 Wed, 03 Jun 2015 07:21:22 +0000 looch 2197446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: Yeah, I can understand how it's not your first choice of solutions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-did-we-ever-potty-train#post-2197443 Wed, 03 Jun 2015 07:14:31 +0000 winniebee 2197443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: I've toyed with just putting the bjorn potty in his room at night...he does need us to use the big toilet upstairs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-did-we-ever-potty-train#post-2197429 Wed, 03 Jun 2015 06:17:26 +0000 looch 2197429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does he need you to take him to the bathroom...could you up a potty in his room for nighttime use? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-did-we-ever-potty-train#post-2197400 Wed, 03 Jun 2015 03:19:45 +0000 sandy 2197400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: we went through the same thing when she was 2.5 and it was awful bc I was pregnant and exhausted and wouldn't be able to fall back asleep after taking her to the bathroom in the middle of the night. </p> <p>Like others said we limited her water intake - we explained that she could drink as much as she wanted downstairs after dinner but once we went upstairs for bath that she couldn't have any more water. So she'd go potty before bath the do bedtime stories and would go potty once more before lights out. It was a few months and she stopped waking to use the bathroom and would just stay dry all night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-did-we-ever-potty-train#post-2197294 Tue, 02 Jun 2015 21:16:14 +0000 MamaG 2197294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We severely limit evening drinking and she uses the bathroom right before bed. She rarely wakes at night. And even in the morning when we wake her for school she's not in a hurry to get to the bathroom. She will typically go 10-11 hours at night without using the bathroom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-did-we-ever-potty-train#post-2197234 Tue, 02 Jun 2015 20:13:40 +0000 yellowbird 2197234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>same here, it she woke up every night to pee for a couple of months. Now it's maybe once every 2 weeks that she will wake up </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-did-we-ever-potty-train#post-2197148 Tue, 02 Jun 2015 18:59:56 +0000 winniebee 2197148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: He's such a water fiend it's hard! But we need to try , you're right! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-did-we-ever-potty-train#post-2197145 Tue, 02 Jun 2015 18:58:52 +0000 mrbee 2197145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had the same issue right after potty training! We cut back on water in the evening, and that helped a lot... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-did-we-ever-potty-train#post-2197140 Tue, 02 Jun 2015 18:55:18 +0000 winniebee 2197140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ever since we potty trained T, he went from STTN (and waking only rarely in the event of illness) to waking every night. Mostly to pee.... We still have him in a diaper because I didn't expect him to night train so soon (6 weeks) but he wakes up dry most days. He just turned 3. </p> <p>When does this phase end? We have a night-waking 6 month old and this is ridiculous! </p>
