I read Ingrid Bauer's Natural Infant Hygiene when DS was approaching 2.5yo and whilst he was daytime continent I knew he was ready for night continence, if only I could figure out the missing puzzle pieces. The book provided those and I used what I learned, committed to a few weeks of sleeping in his bed to help him and it was only about 2 weeks, all up that I had to do that
Both times I did nothing. Dd1 was 3.5 and told me she wanted to wear undies to bed. I said she had to be dry 5 nights in a row and we did a chart. She was dry pretty much 5 nights from the word go so she went to undies. Dd2 was the same but was night trained 2 weeks after being day trained. She just decided.
I also made sure they had their last evening drink with dinner and went to the toilet before bed. Once they were dry overnight for a few months the drinks thing relaxed. The only accidents we have had have been when they have been sick with fevers which isn't unusual.
We also did nothing. DD1 was 2.5 and we just took her to the toilet before bed then put her to bed with undies on. Her nappies were previously wet... but wearing undies must have felt different, because she wet the bed once in that first week, and then only very sporadically since then.
