2 yr old wets night time diaper?

Question

Ok, My two year old is just beginning to potty train, not potty trained enough to kick the diapers yet. The problem is nine times out of ten she pees through her diapers when she is asleep for the nite. I have tried limiting her fluid intake before bed I try to get her to go potty before bed time,nothing I have tried so far seems to make a difference. Does anyone have any other ideas???? While i am here can anyone else throw in some good potty training tips My little girl won't tell me whne she has to go... she will only tell me when she has gone. Someone PLEASE help. Thanks in advance

just a side thought she is dry after her naps i mean completly dry she loves sitting on the potty but she just wont tell me when she has to go.

Answer 1

I have the same problem!! Mine is almost 3 and she pees through a pull-up at night. I stopped letting her have anything to drink after 7,but the bed was still wet, so finally we just started putting 2 pull-ups on. I don't know what else to do. And for the potty training- I set the kitchen timer for every 30 min and took her potty. She's doing pretty good now-still won't poop in the potty, but peeing ok. Just make sure you take her potty like 2 or 3 times in the hour before she has to go to bed, then try the 2 diapers or pull-ups and first thing when she wakes up, set her on the potty. It's a lot of work,but nobody did it for me and I wasn't potty trained until I was 6 so save your daughter some embarrassment and take her all the time.

Answer 2

My son has been out of diapers for a year now but I still have a problem with him wetting the bed at night. I've stopped his fluid intake an hour before bed as well but I still doesn't help. What did help was making him go potty before bed then an hour or two after he's asleep(before I go to bed) I wake him up to go potty again. This has cut down his bed wetting drastically. Maybe change your little ones diaper in the night before you go to bed. As far as potty training her goes. Buy her some really cool big girl underwear, but tell her she can wear them only when she goes potty. If she has an accident just treat it like, uh oh no more big girl underwear for you. For some reason that worked for me. He really wanted those Spiderman undies!

Answer 3

I have to wonder if she was always a heavy wetter. Some kids are. Don't seriously limit her fluid intake; you don't want a dehydrated 2 yr old and kids dehydrate faster then adults. Make sure you're putting her in a diaper and not those pullup training pants; they don't hold much at all. As a matter of fact, I don't use those, I prefer the Pampers brand as they absorb better. But honestly, for daytime, use cloth undies that don't absorb like diapers; the kids can't tell the difference no matter how many "feel wet" liners they put in them. Not to mention my eldest son got a charge out of peeing in them to make the designs disappear; he thought it was a cool trick.I know cloth undies mean more laundry, but it's worth it. It's the only thing that worked with my 4yr old because he didn't want to wet on Thomas the Tank Engine. Also remember nighttime training takes way longer; my 4yr old is still working on it. As for telling you after she goes, it means she's getting the concept and doesn't like feeling dirty. My 2yr old tells me he's pooped and wants to be changed after doing it. Have patience, she'll catch on to telling you before she does it.

Answer 4

Peeing during sleep is still normal for 2 year olds. She can't control it. I'd try the double diaper suggestion and give liquids as she requests them. Brain function needs to be hydrated... and besides, she'll start thinking her thirsty signs are hunger signs, and we all know what that leads to. ;)

Sounds also like her body isn't ready to potty train yet. (sorry). Signs are usually - dry after nap; tells you she dirty; self motivated to go.

Our daughter is nearly 3 and was potty trained over about 1 1/2 months with the use of stickers and lots of praise when she went. When she missed... we didn't scold/punish-- just stayed VERY quiet for a while.

Hope this helps!

Answer 5

It's not at all unusual for a 2 year old not to be dry at night. According to the highest of medical estimates *maybe* 50 percent of 2 year olds are consistently dry at night; doctors don't even consider bedwetting a "problem" until the child is at least 5 or 6. As others have suggested, her bladder and nervous system probably are simply not developed enough for her even to be aware when she has to go until it's too late and her bladder can't hold anymore. This is not at all unusual and the best advice, hard as it is, is patience until her body develops more. Chances are good that even in 1 year from now, things will be much smoother. If she still has problems at that point, running it by your doctor might be worthwhile just to ruler out a serious medical problem, but even then, at least 20% of kids' bladders still can't make it through the night even by the time they're 5 years old. Just give her love and support and try to help her through new steps as she seems ready for them. 2 is just MUCH too young for her to react well to any kind of pressure you might place on her.

Answer 6

She probabally doesn't tell you because she is not ready yet. She probabally doesn't know BEFORE she goes which is the most important. I read a lot of parenting books and they say that if your child is trained at 2 that is exceptional. It says to usually wait until they are 2 and a half or three. And that is only for the day. Kids rarely (if not never) train at night the same time as the day. The books say that they have to have mostly dry diapers in the morning before you even try night time training. Different bladders mature at different times.

Answer 7

Don"t worry about the night time too much, she's still quite young so i wouldn't push it yet.Just have the potty around close and remind her every now and then but don't make a big fuss. get a little potty for teddy to go on as well so they can go together.

Answer 8

Put two pampers on her at bedtime . Make them large enough so it won't cut off circulation . Then put a protector pad under her bottom . Some kids take longer to potty train than others .

Answer 9

She won't tell you that she has to go because she doesn't know when she has to go. She's not ready to be completely potty trained. Get her diapers for night time.

Answer 10

Dont worry too much...2 is tough for a child to hold it all nite long.....some kids just take longer to learn or else physically thier bladders may not be able or ready to go all nite....i have a 7 year old who still has accidents at night....be patient.
