Did you put a diaper on them for a nap and for overnight? I dont really know how to handle that part without sending out mixed messages but she wakes up very wet in the morning and sometimes is wet after naps.

Unfortunately, I am the nanny of the child who is getting potty trained. I dont think she is ready (she just turned 2) but mom has an ego problem and thinks it is a reflection of her parenting ability if she isnt potty trained. I would totally wait, but I dont exactly have the final say. :(

Put the child on the potty before laying her down in the bed. Pull ups are a big help, too. Not confusing if you frequently tell her that these are special pants to wear to bed.

Most people I know still use a diaper at night, and many do until the kid turns 4 or 5. We were lucky because my daughter stayed dry at night, but for awhile after she was first potty-trained we'd take her to the potty in the middle of the night. She didn't even really wake up, we'd carry her into the bathroom, sit her on the toilet and hold on to her so she wouldn't fall. She'd pee, then we'd take her back to bed. We only did that a few weeks and then she was fine about sleeping through the whole night without wetting the bed.

I put the boys on the potty before nap time, Pull ups are alright I guess but I never used them since they are so much like diapers kids don't think twice about wetting themselves, where if you use undies they can feel when they are wet making them more likely to get up or tell you when they have to potty.

Each and every child is different. Some potty train at the age of two, others it will be three or four. Mine were ready at age three. Signs of being ready for pottytraining are staying dry through naptime, Showing interest in the potty. Does she notice when she has to go potty, like holding herself or squatting when having a bm in a diaper? Is she able to pull up and down her pants on her own? Can she tell you if she's gotta go? These are a few things to ask yourself.
Now with my children this is what I did.
I didn't use pull ups because pullups may look like underwear but still feel like a diaper. I used underwear. Granted, first week they had accidents and it was messy but within a week they were basically pottytrained with very few accidents. And now my daughter has no accidents and has been potty trained for a year.
Everytime I had to go potty, I took my children in with me and I sat on the potty while they had sat on the potty. Everytime I noticed them grunting or showing signs of needing to pee, I took them into the bathroom and got them on the toliet. And when they went in the potty, I praised them and if they had a accident, I hugged them and told them that we'll just keep on trying. I kept with doing that until they were able to take off to the bathroom on their own.
Now with naptime, I made sure they had to go potty before naptime and put a towel underneath them incase they had a accident but they had always stayed dry.
At bedtime, I had started them with night time potty training six months later after they were fully potty trained. I put them into underwear, put a plastic type of protective sheet underneath their bedsheet to protect the mattress. I limited the drink intake by an hour or two with little bit of water for teeth brushing and made sure they went to the bathroom before bed. Then I would set my alarm for the middle of the night so I could wake my children up to go to the bathroom (the first two weeks or so I had to lead them into the bathroom because they were still not fully awake) and send them to bed afterwards then right when they got up in the morning, I would make sure they went to potty. This took about a month or so for my children to finally get the hang of getting up on their own to go potty. Make sure to have a night lights available so they can see to get to the bathroom. Just remember this is what worked for my children, this advice may or may not work for yours because every child is different. Good Luck and I hope this advice will be helpful.

We used pull ups. Just be sure to tll your daughter that the pull ups are what big girls wear. Be sure to let her know that this is only something she does at nap time or bedtime.
Our son got to the point that he would get excited about not having a wet pull up. It usually takes longer for toddlers to gain control over their bladders while they sleep.

That may be a sign that she is not ready to potty train yet. They should be waking up dry before they are ready to be trained. How old is she? If she is under 3 maybe just give her a little more time. Good Luck!

We used pull ups at nap time and bedtime for a few months. I don't think it sent mixed signals. My daughter knew that pullups were only for night time. After a while her pullup would be dry when she woke up, then we started having her sleep without it.

relatively some youngsters will nevertheless moist the mattress, up into like 7 years previous or older. i does not trouble approximately it too lots. merely get her a doctor examine up and make beneficial it truly is not well being appropriate. in maximum situations I be conscious it truly is greater because of the fact youngsters the two sleep too heavy, or because of the fact they're afraid to stand up at evening. whether it truly is a terror of having up in the ineffective of evening, try getting a bright evening easy, or a sprig bottle of water marked "monster eliminator", or positioned a potty chair via the mattress!? merely innovations!

I did pull-ups not diapers and I told him pull-ups were just for sleeping. I put them on just before and took them off right after.
Saves a lot of laundry and stress.

if she's old enough to understand, get an alarm clock and walk her through what she's supposed to do when it goes off. after a couple weeks, she'll do it on her own.
she's probably a deep sleeper and needs a little help.
other than that, you can get a pullup until her bladder grows strong enough to hold it all night
