Night toilet training??

[~clover~]

I personally waited til they were waking up dry. Ds was only about
18 months old, the girls were well over 3.

Dd2 is back in night nappies full time at 6. We'll be checking that out more later on the year.

I had planned to do the same as Clover and wait until they wake up dry, but when I forgot a nappy one night she just managed, and I now have to get her up in the middle of the night to wee...what a pain that is.
DD was nearly 5 after TTing in the day before 2.5.
It sounds like he's just not ready.

Oh and don't let him listen to anyone who tells him something detrimental about it....my MCHN told me it was highly abnormal for her not to be dry at 4 overnight....then I asked on here should've trusted my gut.

Thanks for the replys ladies...

I was always thinking i'd just wait until he was dry which would then be my indication that he's ready for no nappies but with him actually asking i wanted to give him the chance to give it a go. It's been very gentle, the last thing i want to do is create any confidence issues, so there'e been lots of encouragement and praise. Like i said i'm not pushing for it, it's just him asking to give it a go.

Trouble is now he's really determind to not wear the nappy.... So i might be changing the sheets every morning for a little while... It's all good we'll figure it out.

Thanks so much ladies, the toileting issue is clearly one of those things when they all get there in their own time.

DS was dry at night about a week after day TTing. However, he stayed in nappies for a few months just in case. He had accidents maybe once a month. He's had one in the past 4 months. So it isn't completely failsafe.

We went from nappies to training pants after a couple of months. We used cloth training pants so they were still pants and big boy pants et cetera, but they were pants that meant I didn't have to worry if there were an accident. Would that be an acceptable compromise for your son?

You never know... maybe that determination is all you need. Plenty of kids just decide thats it & that is it.

Although I don't see our night ending up that way. DD doesn't mind pull ups, but hates nappies... we're out of pull ups. She's decided sh just has to go without... fabulous!

My 2.5yo DS asked not to wear a nappy about 2 weeks or so after TT during the day. From the time we ditched day nappies, I had been encouraging him not to wee in his night nappy. He was often dry in the morning, but not always. So when he asked to wear jocks at ngiht I said ok. We've had a few accidents, but most nights are dry. I think he was just ready. The only other thing I can suggest is using a cloth nappy at night that will allow him to feel wet. And limit evening drinks.

I could try cloth... He might find it a little unusual, i use them with DS2 and DD but i never used them with him. Thanks for that idea gypsy

Clover - I'm hoping the determintion is enough for him because it would be great for him to feel proud of himself knowing he made it happen.

The Flying Butter - where did you get your cloth training pants from?

[Ca Plane Pour Moi]

Bambino Mio, I think. But others offer them too.

Thanks for that, i'll have a look tomorrow it's time for bed

I haven't read through so someone may have already suggested this...you can get a Conni or Kerri or Brolli bed sheet that goes over the bottom sheet. It saves you having to change sheets everyday and you can wash and dry these very quickly. I have two for those days when I can't wash and dry in the same day.

Thanks Heather, i have one mat thing that i tried on top of the sheet and it moved around too much and DS ended up wetting the sheets and underlay

So we're back to it being under the sheets but i need to look into more options of having them on top and having them not move. I'll look into the ones you suggested thank you

The one I have tucks in like a sheet

What about a fitted mattress protector? Put it over the sheet, then if he wets, rip it off and the bed is already made underneath? That's what I used to use anyway.....I've heard really good things about the brolly sheets but they can be a bit expensive. You can get pretty decent mattress protectors for cheap from Target.....good luck!
