Night Time Pull-ups - Dublin,OH

Don't worry about this one bit. Night time bladder control is a maturity issue, and that is widely variable. What do you do to stay dry at night? I mean, do you have to think about it? It happens when the body is ready, and thank goodness we live in a time where there is protection for her to wear that works, and if she needs more than a pull up, try good nights, they rarely leak. In my mothers day and age, she had to hang up her sheets every day outside to dry, and was misserable until she was 12. My daughters had the same issue, as did many, many of their friends. She will not be alone, for sure. I have heard about training methods, but it is an issue that will take care of itself...time is the answer.

It may take up to age 5 or 6 until children are night-trained and it's perfectly normal! The body has to begin secreting a hormone and it's usually around 5/6 that that happens. If she is soaking thru the pull-ups you may want to use the heavier duty pull ups or even diapers. My son never minded diapers at an older age because I explained that it was for protection till his body was ready and he didn't want to wake up wet and uncomfy in the middle of the night. I never equated diapers with baby while we were potty training.

My son is 4 and still needs to wear something absorbant at night, I get him Pamper's Under Jams. They are like pull ups but can hold more and are for "older" children or bigger children. I used to use the pull ups but I would have your same situation. Since I've been using the Under Jams (approx 6 months) he's wet through maybe 4 times.

I hope this helps!

I think that her bladder is not yet fully developed to be able to recognize at night she has to go to the bathroom. My 3 year old has been potty trained for almost a year now (daytime). She still wears a pull up at night and most mornings wakes up wet. She is now starting to wake up in the middle of the night right after she pees and wants her pull up changed. I have not put her in underwear at night for everyone's sanity. (Can't imagine trying to change sheets at 3 am). I am sure she will eventually wake up at night to pee. Good luck.

Hello! My son will be 5 next month and it wasn't until about 4 months ago that he stopped wetting the bed at night. What a huge relief!! What we did was stop allowing him to drink after 6:30pm. He goes to bed at 8pm and that worked wonders. As soon as we stopped him from drinking late, he was dry every morning. Hopefully if you try this it will help your little girl to stay dry at night. Good luck!
