DD was a struggle to TT during the day - we started too early (rookie mistake!) and she wasn't reliably TT day time til 3yo. We started around 2.5. We didn't even bother with nights until she asked for it - she would wake in the morning with a sopping wet nappy until just recently. She began to ask to wear undies at night around 4 and a bit years, we made her have 5 dry nappies before we tried her in undies overnight, now we are in the process of having ten dry nights and a reward as she was getting lazy and weeing in her bed, first thing in the morning. She's up to eight dry nights
DS1 we didn't even try until he showed interest. We kept asking him if he wanted to wear undies and he kept saying no. Then right before 3 he had some sort of penis infection (not a UTI, something else) and I told him it'd help if he wore undies and to my surprise he agreed. He had one accident on the first day, one on the next, one on the fourth, that was it. Then a week or so later I realised his night nappy was consistently dry and I asked if he wanted to wear undies at night and he said yes. And he's had two night accidents since He was only 3 in July!
DD was dry at nights about 12 months from when she was day time trained. Reading this there is such a massive variation! We took DD to the toilet before bed and then before we went to bed for several months then she kinda just clicked with it. Like others have said, I think there is a long time before you need to look into it further.
DS is 5, he has had one dry night and Im pretty sure that was a fluke anyway. He has been day trained from around 2.5 years. I was a very late night trainer so its no surprise really.
DS1 was night dry from 4. Night of his 4th birthday he said didnt need nappy now as he was a big boy, and we have 2 accidents in over a year!!. He did not day train till 3 years 7 months!!
DS2 he day trained at 3 years 1 month and is not night trained or anywhere near it his nappy in morning is so heavy and full, (does not poo in toilet yet grrr another thread!)
Night TT is a developmental change and some kids can be 7 and beyond. Most drs wont even invesitigate until 7.
