Nighttime potty training

Nighttime dryness is actually hormonal, and all different for each child. My daughter was dry on a night before being potty trained. Personally I'd wait until the hormone kicks in, I know you said you'd prefer to have it sorted before 2nd baby, but you may cause more problems for yourself trying to force it, and nighttime is usually just 1 nappy x

I would bother trying to ‘train’ st nighttime, like you and Kath said it’s not trainable, their brain needs to just click! Wait until she’s dry in her nappy at night then remove it. Changing wet sheets in the middle of the night when you have a new baby will be MUCH harder than just changing a wet nappy in the morning I promise xx

I would wait until she starts waking up dry herself for a while before you take the nappies away, it can't really be trained. My little boy was dry waking up for about 2-3 weeks before we decided to take away his nappies and put a water proof sheet in his bed in case he did have any accidents. And even then over the last 6-8 weeks he has had 3 accidents overnight. And thats with him being trained since July last year. As for new baby coming, id put this on the back burner. You might find she regresses with her day time training because of the change so I wouldnt be adding more change/pressure at the moment. The first 6-8 weeks of new baby being here will be a big adjustment for her. However, she may also naturally start waking up dry between now and August, just take it one day at a time x

Hiya my little boy is fully trained overnight he would wake with a wet nappy full too. But I took him out of nappies brought a waterproof sheet he was dry in the night first night he woke up then done his wee and had an accident. After that one night he’s not had an accident and wakes up and goes for a wee xx

Highly recommend these sheets for keeping the bed dry overnight- https://hygge-sheets.com/?srsltid=AfmBOopWQvGN9Am9jvlBTX8oYz0FUZoakfjZ5r-08OFPL5NH3-a8R65K

You just wait until they are dry overnight. There's not much else you could do. Mine weirdly was dry at the same time as she day trained - a few months shy of 3. I left her in nappjes at night for a few months to be really sure it was consistent and then we made the switch to no nappy.

I’m just going to throw a spanner in the works here but this is how our story goes… I was always under the impression that it’s hormonal in girls and to wait for a dry through the night nappy. If this was the case my daughter was absolutely not ready to go without a nappy in bed, because she would wake up and her nappy was so full that it would literally be round her ankles! However around Christmas last year she came down with chicken pox, and then got a viral infection in January. During the January illness she point blank refused to wear a nappy to bed, which riddled me with anxiety because her nappies were always sodden in the morning. However, this was one of those “pick your battle” moments and I just let her go with it. Needless to say she was then dry through the night completely within 2/3 weeks! she probably had 3 night time accidents in the last 4 months and we haven’t looked back. I’d urge anyone to give it a try, because they may just be ready.

Ours has a nappy during the night, often completely dry in the morning. She partially bed shares with us (moves in the middle of the night) though so I would much rather be safe than all of us having disrupted sleep and soaked in pee. We have no plan, just going with the flow. I guess if we go for a few consecutive months with consistently dry nappies we will remove them at night, but for now we are not in a rush.

My 3 year old still opens his bowels in a nappy, but is pants throughout the day. 2 weeks ago he said to me he didn't want a nappy at bedtime and I was skeptical but ran with it and he wakes up in the night, we've only had 2 accidents within this period.

This insight is super helpful! We have gone back to nappies and are just going to wait until she has dryer nappies…. We managed to do 4 nights with no nappies and each night ended up having to change the sheets twice 🥴I think we initially thought way more kids were fully potty trained than the reality so it’s reassuring…
