night time toilet training?


anyone with help on how to get my 3 year old to stay dry at night

Answers:
My son just turned 4, and we are crossing the line to wearing underwear at night instead of pull-ups, now that he has been dry at night for the past 2 months.

This has worked for us, in getting him to where he is now.
I have given him only one drink allowed after dinner time. And he does NOT get to sleep with his sippy of water anymore (which he has done since he was 1). I take him potty VERY last thing before we go to bed, and tell him to 'squeeze it all out'.

As a word of advice, this is a journey that you can't make in one day. So it will take time for your child to develop the control. In the meantime, I suggest making the bed with layers......Mattress, then waterproof cover, then fitted sheet, then another waterproof cover, then another fitted sheet. That way if (s)he does wet at night, all you have to do is pull off the one wet layer, and WALAH! Dry bed ready in 30 seconds. Change the kiddos jammies, then you can all get back to bed. Makes for less hassle.

Good luck.
