My daughter will be 3 in May. She is perfectly potty trained during the day. I am 3mo. pregnant and I want to night time train her this summer. She loves her juice before bed.(we only give her 1/4th of a sippy cup.) And she really doesn't seem interested in wearing panties at night. I think I am just going to put her in panties and go for it. Should I wake her at night when I am up potting? Any other suggestions?

She always wakes up soaked (pull up) ...About the pooping. I made a big fuss about cool panties then when she pooped in them I showed her, then took her with me to the dumpster in back and had her throw them away and tell them goodbye. She never pooped her panties again. I also had a treasure chest ( candy stickers little toys) and when she would poop she got to choose 1 thing. She trained pretty easy during the day!

Give it a try. When we were training our son to go through the night I would wake him just before I went to bed at 11 (he goes to bed at 8) to try to get him used to getting up and going in the middle of the night. Eventually I stopped and tried just letting him go and he was able to do it.
Here's my number 1 biggest tip though: Double layer the bedding on her bed. One waterproof mattress pad, sheet, another waterproof mattress pad, another sheet. Then, if she does have an accident in the middle of the night its not a big ordeal to change the sheets, just peel off the top 2 layers and viola! a perfectly made bed in seconds.

My first son didn't potty-train for daytimes until about 2 years 9 months (he's supposed to be slightly autistic). He always drinks lots, and is a very deep sleeper, but before his third birthday he got into a routine for a couple of weeks, of waking himself in the early hours, using the potty and going back to bed to sleep unaided. Then one night he thought he'd get to sleep in another bed if he wetted his own, so he did it deliberately, and from then on his night-training was all lost. I tried and tried for months, but was just washing sheets all the time. So eventually we went back to nappy pants for bedtime.
After his 5th birthday he had flu, which meant sleeping at odd hours, so I tried again. It took a good couple of weeks before he even woke up when he was wet, but now we've got it to where he'll normally get to morning without wetting, and sometimes can get himself out to use the potty and then back to bed and sleep.
Most children do it more easily because they drink less and sleep shorter, but I'm unwilling to teach him to keep himself dehydrated. And until he's got it right, I'm not in a big hurry to night-train my 3-year-old.
I always used to think that if I was any good I should be able to potty-train my own son, but it's not really true, and my advice is just not to put too much pressure on yourself when you've got another baby on the way.

I didn't night train any of my kids. I don't think it affects daytime training at all, and usually within 6-12 months of being daytime trained they stayed dry all night. I really don't think its something you can really train a child on. Some kids sleep so deeply they don't wake up if they have the urge to go. Some people wake their kids at night, but I say why interrupt their sleep? Especially where she's only 3, I don't see the big deal in her wearing pullups at night. As soon as she starts waking up dry more often than not, then you can ditch them. Just make sure she has a waterproof cover to protect her mattress, a change of sheets handy just in case, and if possible try to limit fluids before bedtime. But for example my son is now 5, and hasn't had to wear a pullup at night since age 3 1/2. He also has a sippy cup of water by his bed so he does drink during the night. He very rarely gets up at night to go the bathroom, and stays dry.
Hope this helps!

Don't give her anything 1 hour before bed and have her go potty right before. Then, and this may sound crazy, but it works....just put her to bed in a long t-shirt...no under ware of any kind. They wet when fabric is next to them. After 3 nights she will be potty trained.

I would just try it for one night. If she wets the bed then wake her the next night you try it. I am potty training my second son right now. We are actually good at night but we have a problem with pooping in the potty. Good luck to you!

Does she still have to wet at night? My son usually wakes up dry in the morning. If she still wets at night, it may be that her urge isn't strong enough to wake her, or that she sleeps so hard the message doesn't wake her up. I'd put some pull-ups on her and give it some more time.
