Do not give anything to drink after dinner. Make sure he/she goes to the bathroom before bed. Let him/her wear pull ups at night, and if they are dry in the morning reward him/her with a sticker or just praise him what a big boy/girl he/she is. Three is still young enough for accidents. Don't be alarmed.

Some kids will still wet the bed at age 5-6. Don't rush them. They will do it when they are ready. Just encourage him/her to use the bathroom before and after bed.
I don't agree with restriction them from drinks. Them being potty trained at night, means they will get up and use the bathroom if they need to. Not them not needing to use the bathroom all night because they weren't allowed anything to drink.
Good luck!!!

Let's see.
We left the bathroom light on. Installed a nightlight in the hallway (so he could get to the potty).
We didn't let him drink water right before bed.
We encouraged him to get up and go potty!
That's about all we did. I took a couple of weeks.
Of course, he wore a diaper to bed for a while, even though he went potty during the day in the potty.

Give your child pullups and don't make a big deal about it. Also enforce No drinks 2-3 hours before bedtime.
Then the fun part, give him or her 10 cents each morning if tjhe pull up is dry but make it not a big deal. The first time the pull up is dry for 3 days give something special. I bet in no time you child will be ready to give up pullups

Buy some Goodnights. Don't punish the child sometimes it takes a while for the bladder to mature enough for over night dryness. Try to get you child to go potty right before bed.

I have two girls who have been through this. I stopped giving them any fluids after about 3 or 4pm. except for a very little bit at dinner. also acidic foods like apples. get them to go to the toilet before bed and then get them up when you go to bed. even if they don't wake up, I sat my girls on the toilet and spoke gently to them to do a wee. you might want to start with getting them up twice. it depends how much they wee. after a while I would make them walk (i supported because they were pretty much asleep) to the toilet so they got used to getting up. I havent had any problems since.

Many children wet the bed. Just put him in pull ups or just change the sheets. He cant help it. Dont yell at him or spank him as it will make it worse.

Put those overnight toddler training pants/diapers on him/her and try not to let him/her have any liquids two hours before bedtime. Or you can try your local health food store (Whole Foods Market if there is one near you), they have all-natural baby vitamins (chewable) that are supposed to help a kid stop wetting the bed. They worked pretty well on my younger brother.
Good luck!

Try restricting fluid intake a couple of hours before bed. This worked for us. Good luck.

don't give him ANY liquids a few hours before going to bed and take him to the bathroom before he goes to sleep, but stay there and play, until he goes, like brush his teeth or wash his hands with fresh water, that really helps them to go. I have no idea why, but it does. I hope this helps you.
