3 is a good age to be potty trained in waking hours but seems a little young to always stay dry at night. Medically, young children sleep very soundly and so have not developed the ability to wake up and know they need to go. My daughter was about 4 when we starting working on making her stay dry all night because by then I knew she could tell she needed to go and would go in her pants because it was easier. If you don't want her to wet the bed, use Easy Ups at night time. Just tell her they are night time panties for big girls and continue to encourage her to use the potty if she can, but don't chastise her for wetting in her sleep. I honestly don't know she is old enough yet.

My three yr historic daughter is the equal approach. She has been totally dry in the course of the day for approximately a yr and a part now. We took her out of diapers at night time approximately three months in the past and stored it up for a month. She could be dry a few nights and rainy others, and prefer your son it could now not wake her. There had been even a few nights while she could be rainy two times! In the top we gave up and placed her in pull-ups. Now we compliment her while she has a dry pull-up however do not make a fuss while she does not. Its now not whatever she will be able to support, so there is not any factor in making use of a decal chart or some thing (which we did for daylight). My daughter sleeps so closely that not anything wakes her, so I wager we need to wait till her bladder can final 12 hours each and every night time. Your son sounds the equal, I would not rush it. He might not be joyful to return to nappies so pull-u.s.a.could also be the reply.

No please don't listen to the quack who probably has no kids!! I have two girls and I trained them both at 18 months. The trick is to have he/she on a routine at night also. Limit drinks as least a hour and a half before bed.and the most annoying part is getting her up in the middle of the night. Make sure its the same time every night by like maybe 2 weeks or so she her body will self adjust and he/she will be able to get up by themselves or be dry by the end of the night.

She's 3 and may just be a little young yet for that. To help though, cut off all liquids a couple hours before bedtime and make sure she goes right before going to bed. Give her some time, she'll get there.

we're just starting with our three year old for about 2 weeks ago and she's only wet once what we do is straight after tea she goes straight to the toilet then she gets her pj's on reads a book etc and just before we turn out the light sit her on again evan if she says no i don't need to toilet we take her anyway and she always does wee goes to bed and wakes up dry and we leave undies on her not the nite pull ups cos other wise she knows she's got a nappy on and just goes in it but with undies she thinks she's all grown up hope i could help good luck

try cutting off all the fluids at a certain time every night and waking her up after a couple hours of sleep. before long she wont wet anymore. i have also tried the bribing method as well and that worked for me too. my daughter wanted care bear sheets. so i told her i would buy them for her when she quit wetting during the night. stickers worked well for my oldest. i made up a fun chart with her help and we set goals. every night that she went without wetting she got a sticker. after so many stickers than she could go with me to the store and get something for all her great work.
good luck, hope this helps

When my daughter was 3 I started to train her at night. She would go to the bathroom right before bed and I would put her to sleep with her panties on~ reminding her not to wet them. While she was asleep I would put her diaper/pullup on. As soon as she woke I would bring her to the bathroom. When she woke up and her diaper/pull up was dry I started to keep her panties on all night. I was kinda weaning her off her diapers. It worked for her... Id say a couple months and she was done.

Stop the drinks at least 2-3 hours prior to her bedtime. Maybe you could sleep with her and help her get out of bed when it's time!

This is what I did (and still do)
No liquids for 1.5 hrs before bed and make them use the potty right before bedtime, even if they "just try" (they usually go)
This should do the trick.....but always place a plastic sheet under the regular one just to be safe :-)

I guess I got lucky that my 3 year old doesn't have bedtime accidents, but yea, make sure to cut out fluids and have them urinate and stuff right before bed.
If anything, also get mattress protector pad so that way the mattress doesn't get ruined.
