So, this is probably going to sound really dumb but - my kid is 3, has been potty trained for 2 months, but we've been using diapers at night still. She wakes up dry every day, so I'm thinking we can just take the diapers off but is there some kind of training I should be doing around this? She doesn't usually wake up at night, so I'm not sure if we should talk to her about waking up if she needs to go or if we just let it be and see what happens and if she has an accident do it then? I guess basically, what does nighttime potty training entail? I feel like I'm missing something LOL

That was all it was for us. Dry at night became no diapers at night. We've had maybe four bedwetting accidents.

The action that is supposed to happen is waking up at night to use the bathroom, but if she's not waking up and is dry in the morning, I'd just go without diapers, if she's okay with it and if you are okay with doing a little laundry here and there.

Sounds like you can go diaper free! My son was dry in the mornings fairly soon after potty training and we didn't do anything. My daughter has been trained for 4 months and still wakes up wet most of the time. We aren't trying to night train her as the consensus seems to say that you can't. I'm just patiently waiting until she starts consistently waking up dry.

That's all we did!
We waited about a month of dry overnight diapers. Then we just told him it was time for undies, to keep them dry, and we made sure he pees immediately before bed.
He's only had 2-3 accidents or so. Sounds like it's time!

Opposite for us. My daughter was day trained for a good 3-4 months before we even attempted night training. She would be dry during her nap time (2-3 hours...sigh I miss the nap days). We would make her go potty before bedtime stories and still put a diaper on her and she would wake up completely dry for a month or two. We also made her immediately potty upon waking and she would. I thought she was ready so we put her in undies at night.
I'm pretty sure for a bout three weeks straight, she had accidents like every other day. We even started waking her up twice in the middle of the night and she would go. But then still more accidents. I was losing my wits end and debated if I should just go back to diapers and stuck with it and she improved and accidents got less and more manageable. We started only waking her up once in the middle of night and then she started waking up when needed but usually she developed the ability to hold it longer.

@misolee: Any idea what might have caused that?
