    TT and a tricky night time issue

    DD was 3 in August and TT'ing has been an issue.. I've posted about this back in August..
    However now i have a new problem.. I'm still having trouble TT'ing her (haven't gotten a wee on the potty in at least 3 months but have had a few poos - 7 in one night but then she goes in nappy others even when you see what she is about to do and try to get her on the potty) and we've started again toay with knickers on during the day and a nappy for her sleeps but we have another dilemia at night..

    DD is ripping all her lower clothes + nappy off at night and sleeping naked and of course wetting the bed. We had this happen EVERY night for 2 weeks. We tried constantly going back in and putting it all back on but then she'd fall asleep and if we went in to dress her again she'd wake and play up going back to sleep. A few nights she did manage to not wet the bed and woke up naked but dry however more wet ones than dry ones.

    I temporarily came up with a solution of putting her into her sleeping bags again and I cut off the zipper so that is wouldn't work to pull down (had to use a paper clip in the zipped the next morning to open it up) so she was stuck in the sleeping bag.. It worked beautifully but murphy's law the heat hit and it was too hot to put her in the sleeping bag and we went back to square one. Luckily tonight it's quite cool again so she is in her sleeping bag again but considering I'm having issues toilet training her and then having this issue at night I'm lost on what to do. I know that even if I can get her to TT this time round that getting her dry overnight takes even longer so I'm stumped on what to do.

    Suggestions please??

    Without using the wonderful benefit of hindsight - a mattress protector. Or putting her to bed naked then sneaking in and putting a nappy on while she's asleep.

    If you want to keep her nappy and clothes on over night, can you dress her in a bonds all in one suit backwards- so the buttons are on her back and she might not be able to open them.

    What about a pull up instead of a nappy? She might be more inclined to keep it on??

    Thanks for all the replies ladies..
    Her bed has 2 mattress protectors so her mattress is staying dry but her sheets are getting drenched.

    The long bonds suits would probably be the same situation and be too hot for her to wear them as summer approaches. I've tried the short sleeve ones but she pulls those undone in no time at all.
    I've already tried the pull up idea and she pulled that off just the same. I've also tried putting her potty in her room and explaining to her that if she wants to sleep with no clothes on that she has to get up and go wee wee on the potty - no good though..

    my DS1 was TT during the day by the time he was 3 and half.....we still have him wetting the bed @ night time....its a pain changing the sheets all the time even tho he has a protector over his sheets.

    he goes to the toilet before bed and still wets it...i think its just something he will grow out of.

    maybe she isnt ready?

    What about a light summerweight sleeping bag and having just a nappy and singlet on under it? Or a shortsleeved all-in-one suit done up backwards?
