My daughter is 2 and 99% potty trained. She cannot however stay dry through her naps or at bedtime. (Twice during naps she has actually stayed dry) Do they learn this on their own or do you "train" them? And how. Thanks!

Is she sleeping in underwear? If she is, then she needs to be put back in diapers/pull ups. It's perfectly normal for her not to be able to hold it while she is sleeping. She'll get the hang of it soon though. Keep her in diapers during night time/nap time until she can wake up with a dry diaper.

I think it's perfectly normal to not be 100% potty trained at 2. Reduce her fluids before nap/bedtime and take her to the potty right before laying down. Put her back in diapers/pull ups until she stays dry at night. Make a big deal out of dry diapers when she wakes up. She'll get the hang of it before you know it. Don't rush her.

With my daughter she potty trained during the day easily. I kept her in pullups at night until she went 1 week without wetting the bed. She was 3 when she did though. But make sure she doesn't have my than a drink of water before bed. I told her she couldn't have her own cup after 7 (when she went to bed at 8). That way her bladder wasn't full at night.

Is this genetic? If not then usually there are psychological reasons why he would still be wetting the bed. Such as getting picked on in school, (hate to say this) bad homelife, smoking in the house i've even heard can attribute to this, MAJOR life changes (i.e a move a new school, a divorce) If you google it, they give a huge list. Run through and see if any sound like they could be affecting your son. If so, stable that out. My son relapsed back into bed wetting after 1 year of no accidents so i checked google and sure enough, one was major life changes (his biological mother had just moved cross country further hindering his abandonment issues wither her) since there was nothing we could do about it we made sure not to give him liquids 1 hour before bed.

No I recommend NOT doing this. It just shows her it is ok for her to do that and may lead to bed wetting for years to come. I suggest you put her in pullups at night time. Tell her she can wear underwear again if she goes 3 nights dry in a row. If she goes one night dry. Make sure you praise her. LIke BIG praise. Keep mentioning it randomly throughout the day. If she wets during the night make sure you tell her nice try and she will do better next time and she is still a big girl. Ensure she goes pee right when before she goes to bed and nap. Some would recommend (and we used this), that for 30-45 minutes before nap she not be allowed to drink. As she begins to show signs of night time control (like 2 weeks of dryness) start letting her have water closer to bed time and eventually she will be able to have water right before bed and be fine.
Good luck!

Its normal for a child that age to still wet the bed. I suggest taking her to the bathroom before she lays down each time and put pullups on her but explain shes not being punished. When she wakes up take her to the bathroom again. When a young child sleeps it is just like a baby cant control their bathroom habits without a little help. Thats how she got potty trained when shes awake. Good luck with her.

don't let her wet the bed. I suggest using pull ups, then if she keeps them dry make a huge deal about it. If you just let her get wet all the time, then her self esteme would be ruined. help her learn to stay dry by throwing a mini party everytime she comes up dry. I like the $ store for this reason. BOth of my girls have been 100% potty trained since they were 2 years. good luck and stick with it.

They do this on their own. Most children aren't completely potty trained until they are between 3 and 4 years old. I wouldn't let her wet the bed just because it will be too much work for you!

Put her in pullups she is still very young. Be thankful at 2 she is potty trained. She is doing great and needs to be praised for the great job she is doing.

I don't think thats a good idea. My son is going to the exact same thing and I would not let him sleep in pee and know it. I put him on pampers at night but if you want to have her on underwear at night wake her up at verious times in the night and take her to the bathroom. thats how I got my daughter to stop wetting the bed. they have to learn how to hold it when they are sleeping thats just my opinion good luck
