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.

I am in the same boat, but right now I cannot even begin to work on getting her to stay dry at night (she has been ill). I heard that it can take up to a year after day time potty training to get the child to learn how to wake up at night and go to the bathroom then. So relax, don't make it an issue and eventually it will happen. In the meantime, get a lot of sheets and some plastic that fits the mattress to keep it dry and be prepared to lose some sleep - this is what I did with my oldest (now 4) and will be doing with my middle (now age 3). Good Luck.

Dont enable him have any fluids some hours before bedtime, then make effective he makes use of something room before going to mattress, if he says he cant go then placed his palms less than warmth water and function his keep attempting or basically enable him sit down there for a couple of minutes. If he nevertheless is wetting then wake him up about 3 a million/2 hours after he is going to mattress and take him on to the bathroom, then immediately back to mattress so he doesnt imagine that's play time. with slightly of luck which will artwork. It does take longer for nighttime time coaching than day time coaching, yet when you try on how lengthy before mattress he may have fluids and each and each and every element else, he will be doing tremendous.

Use Pull-Ups at night to keep the bed dry. Lots of little kids can't feel the urge to go once they are asleep even if they use the toilet all day long, and never have an accident. It's a developmental thing.

Grandson had the same problems, don't despair, use pull-ups
and have patience, eventually he will stay dry. It's quite normal for boys to take longer and until the age of 5 I wouldn't worry too
much. As long as you don't put pressure on him and if he is still not dry after that see a doctor to make sure everything is in ok order.

Don't let them drink a few hours before they go to bed. Try the pull-ups for NiteTime.

restrict drinks before bedtime then until you go to bed if they awake ask them if they want to go to the loo, that will get them into the routine of going when they wake up,

If the child is not sick, requires no medical attention, your only recourse is to discuss the matter with Mother Nature!
