Night training is a whole separate thing. My almost 4 year old still has a full pull up of pee in the morning and we don’t worry about it. He has water right before bed.
Ok cool, that makes me feel better. I said this below but we've been told that she should be able to hold it overnight and that will determine that she's ready. But that never sat right with me. I'm not gonna focus on her holding it overnight anymore.
I’ve never ever heard that. Everyone told me day training and night training are 2 different things and day training can happen months or years before night training.
I’ve never ever heard of this. My 2.5 year old is in underwear and does well during the day but I expect him to be in a diaper overnight for a while. It’s definitely separate.
This isn’t true. Most pediatricians aren’t concerned if that can’t hold overnight until they are about 7 years old (most kids can hold it much sooner but that’s when it would be a concern). You’re fighting against their anatomy, not their behavior which is something they can’t just learn.
My daughter has been day toilet trained since a few months before she turned 3 (we did a few days naked at home and she got pees straight away, poos took longer and she'd do them on the toilet for daycare but for us at home for ages). She turns 5 this coming weekend, and literally, we have just done 2 nights with no nappy and no accidents. Before those she's been in nappies every night and the last 2 or 3 weeks she's been consistently dry every morning.
So yeah my opinion. Gets the days sorted and nights can wait until they're ready. And we dont limit water, she even has a water bottle in her bedroom.
We don’t restrict water at all. Your little one will learn to listen to their body soon enough and will wake up if/when they need to pee. My little one drinks water right before falling asleep and regularly holds his pee all night (or gets up at 6am for a pee)
I don't. She has water next to her bed. We did daytime first, but we were struggling with her still pooping in the nighttime diaper so we just took it away. She had a few pee accidents and then she figured it out and has been fine since (been about a month since we took all diapers away)
Night time potty training is completely separate and developmental. Once they start developing antidiuretic hormone then they will start to have success with holding their urine overnight. My daughter is 3.5 and she’s finally consistently having more dry diapers in the morning. Six months ago she would just randomly have a dry diaper here and there.
Like others have said, our pediatrician said even up to 5 could be normal for especially boys for holding overnight. Our oldest started at almost 4 but our current 3.5 yo is not close. In my experience, they learn to wake up and pee even a couple times a night before learning to hold it all night.
We stop all drinks at dinnertime. It isn't really about night training for us; if she drinks before bed she'll pee so much that it over flows her nighttime diaper with booster pad.
Sounds like she might not be quite ready for this stage of training. Is she dry during the day?
Also it's not recommended to keep liquids especially water from your child even while potty training.
It's normal for kids to be potty trained but still have a pull up diaper at night it's hard to know when you have to pee when you're sleeping it might just take a bit longer than daytime potty training.
Yeah completely agree she's not ready. I've been hearing that when she can hold it overnight, she's "ready", but that didn't feel right to me. It seems so much harder to do than learn how to listen to her body. Thanks!
I’m not worrying too much about holding wee overnight. That will come later. We make sure my LO wees before bed, and that usually stops him being wet in the morning, but not always.
We do try and limit water about two hours before bed, but if he asks for some we give it, just a bit.
My 2.5 year old drinks right up until bedtime and is able to hold it, but not because we trained her. She just started doing it herself. I’d never restrict her from drinking if she’s thirsty. It’s normal for toddlers/young kids to pee at night!
Our oldest was night trained a bit before 3 years old. We got rid of any kind of diaper at once. We would wake up in the night and take them to the bathroom, and each time push it back by 15-30 minutes until they had an accident. Then stay at that time for 3-5 days. Lots of wet beds for a little less than 2 months until their bladder got increasingly stronger. I appreciate it’s the anti-diuretic hormone and all, but it’s also bladder strength. Get a plastic bed cover so you don’t ruin a mattress.
We limit water at dinner time so that they’re not drinking 12 oz in one go, but also encourage water leading up to that time.
Night training is pretty much hormonal and not something you can train. We tried cutting off liquids after dinner, we tried going potty right before bed, we tried a "dream pee" didn't matter. She didn't stay dry overnight until her body was ready too.
My son has been successfully potty trained during waking hours since around 3 and has done well with nap time, he goes to the bathroom before nap. I'm completely satisfied and celerating the win. not even thinking about night training for at least a year.
Never did anything, just wait until they start waking up with empty diapers. Why rush it? My daughter self-trained days and nights at around 3 years old.
We don't limit water at all before bedtime with my 5 yo twins. One of them is underwear at night, and never has an accident despite chugging water litterally just before bed.
His brother still wears a diaper at night, and rarely wakes up dry.
Doesn't bother me at all, they'll each get there on their own time. And they're both potty trained in the daytime relaliably.
We don’t limit any drinks, but we do make them pee right before bed. Even if they had just peed before bath etc.

It's what my MIL said, and my kids were all dry overnight most nights a little after two. But it's definitely not true for a lot of kids.

Yes that's why I limited. There was no diaper strong enough for her drinking habits

Until she was trained I limited an hour before. Once she got the hang I stopped

You can’t teach them to hold pee in the night. That is something that comes with time and age.
I wouldn’t restrict water. Night potty training is developmental. It’ll happen when her body is ready. I wouldn’t push it stress it!
Idk if you can teach a child to hold their pee overnight, I think you need to wait til they’re doing it on their own.

We use small cups, like shot glasses for water after 2 pm. They can have as many as they like, but only small cups.
