What age did your LO go nappy-less overnight?

As the title suggest Im interested in when your LO started to go nappy-less at night??

Also how on earth did you convince them to leave the nappies behind?

DD1 was without nappies day & night from 25 months
DD2 was nearly 3
Neither of them really argued about going without them come to think of it

ds1, just turned 3 and ghas been dry every night since (barr one or 2 were he was sick)
however
ds2, is 4 in june and still has to have a night nappy, he has the odd night were he will be dry, but it is very very rare, ive tried just leaving him hoping he would 'click' to being wet, even getting up and getting him to go during the night, but nothing! so for my own sanity he has pull ups at night, or im doing daily loads of sheets!

After TTing during the day at 2.5 I thought NNs would soon be behind us.....wrong. In February this year we were finally dry, so 4.75. It was an accident really. We just forgot (how I don't know but I did) and it was a total surprise in the morning lol. Only the night before she had been in a nappy and had wet.

Thanks ladies,

DD1 is 3.5yrs. She still has a pull-up at night. Most nights when she comes into bed with us she is dry. Although between that time and when we take it off in the morning she isnt.

Im really over the pull-up thing. Its sending me bonkers. Only problem is there is always a tantrum whenever we bring up not wearing the pullup to bed. There are nights I hope she falls asleep without it on and I carry her to bed without knowing, then has a dry sleep. That would be great! One day

My DS1 was 5 and after we stopped the pull up over night and used the Conni, it was a 1 night a week accident for a while.
My DS2 is 4.5 and still in night pull ups. Hasn't woken up dry consistent enough yet.
Perhaps you could try when she comes into bed with you at night, putting her on the toilet before she gets in?
I'm pretty certain DD is going to be a different story, she is already waking up some mornings dry.

My DD who was born almost the same time as yours 28/9/07 is still in pull-ups at night. She wants to ditch it but i wont let her as she wets the bed almost every night so i figure she's not ready. We talk about it a lot, how big girls don't wear nappies to bed, how she can call out for me to help her go to the toilet if she needs to at night etc. She gets it but just isn't ready. TBH the majority of kids her age i know are still in nappies at night. So i'm not too worried about it although it is annoying i agree!

beansbeans, :hug: babe. I sooo understand that. Then there were other people undermining my theory of her doing it in her own time. It really made it hard. Especially when the MCHN told me it wasn't 'normal'.
We had the tantrums too, and Darcy would wet in that same time you mentioned. SO to keep the peace I just let her do what she was comfortable with. I did find though that the largest nappy-pants fit the same as the pullups for DD (she was 20kgs at the end) and were much cheaper.

Thanks ladies!

Kim, you know the whole reason why sh eis in pull-ups instead of nappies at night is because of their so called claim that they know when they are going. I say so called, because they didnt even help DD1 when she TT. I think she just thought she was safe to go whenever she wanted because she had a nappy on. In the end I called it the 'nappy mentality.' The second the nappies came off and she was ready, no accidents and she was happy to use the loo. So considering they dont seem to help her iin the learning process we may go back to the nappy pants... Im keen to save some money! :D

junglemum, thank you saying that, because Im experiencing the opposite at the moment. All the kids in her age group tht I know seem to be nappy free at night. Whether that is 100% true is another story I suppose, we all know how it goes, once mum says something.....

My motto is believe nothing of what you hear and half of what you see!

Don't listen to anyone else. She'll get there. Some kids the same age are just TT'ing in the day, and my cousin's little girl is 12 months older and has JUST become dry at night and i know my cousin is honest. :lol:

my DD is similar age to yours and she still wakes up (sometimes overflowing :o) in her NN. so i am thinking she is still some time off. whenever we mention ditching it she gets this glazed over look in her eyes and stops listening lol. so yeah, not ready yet me thinks!

Thanks ladies,

I like youre thinking JM! May have to embrace it :lol:

cassius, we get the glazed over look too. Although most of the time its a major tantrum, kind of like the one we would get when I imagine taking away her birthday, christmas, or any special day like that, or her fav tv show (playschool etc). She yells, screams, theres tears, all whilst on the floor throwing about every limb and toy near her. It always with the sentence, "You're being mean and I dont like you anymore". :D

DS1 is just gone 4 and still in nappies overnight.

DS decided he wanted to use the loo for wees at three and a half - he had dry nappies all night from that stage onwards. I think he may have had 2-3 wee accidents in the first couple of months, but nothing after that. So from sitting on the loo to wee, could have been pretty much nappy free at night.

But he's a strong-minded young man, he refused to go to the loo for over a year before that point and only just at the start of this year decided it was OK to do a poo in the loo. Just a few weeks off age 4 - and poo night accidents are really horrid! (Hence why he was in nappies and pants overnight even when he wasn't wetting himself.)

They all do it in their own time... and when we're 80+, they'll be having this conversation about us LMAO!

DS has just turned 4 and still in NN's. There have been a few occasions when we have forgotten to put one on and he hasn't wet but then other we he has. Last Sunday night :doh: He's not ready yet but we'll keep working at it.

I had a nephew tell me last year he had just turned 7 and was no longer going to wear NN's. Depeneds on the child i suppose :dunno:
