LO has been potty trained in the day since 23 months. About a month after being potty trained in the day so 24 months she started to wake up dry in the mornings more nights than not. This went on for a while. Then she started to wake up saying she needed a wee around 1 night a week and dry the other days. I’d go in and say it’s fine you have a nappy on and most of the time she go for a wee in it, sometimes she’d refuse and say potty. I now realise I shouldn’t have said it’s fine you have a nappy as thats her telling me she’s ready and a good thing. The last month she has been waking up more and more saying she needs a wee and won’t use her nappy at night atall which I know is amazing but she used to go most nights 11-12 hours completely dry where as now she’s waking up once every night needing a wee and I don’t get why she suddenly can’t hold it? The only thing that’s change is she’s probably drinking more in the day due to the heat this last month. Has anyone else had this? Could it simply be because she’s drinking more? I wouldn’t say it’s loads more. Is it normal to wake up more during the night the older she gets? Is it just because she’s becoming more aware? It was nearly every single night she’d wake up dry before. Im going to try and limit water intake before bed as I do let her have a drink when having a story but I feel mean due to it being hot. I know I should be happy she’s done this by herself so quickly and I am but she’s always been such a good sleeper 11-12 hours and I am not used to wake ups. She does go back to sleep straight away which is amazing but I can’t! It’s once a night so I’m not I’m not worried about uti. I’m just really confused how she’s gone from holding it all night to not being able to and it’s driving me insane not knowing what’s changed.

Being aware she needs a wee in the night is the hormone change that is what you are waiting for to be dry overnight.
Limit drinks before bed and make sure she has a wee in the bedtime routine.

As you've mentioned she'll be drinking a lot more cos of the heat.
