What are some tips for keeping your child dry through the night? My 2 year old son is fully potty trained during the day but still has to wear a diaper at night? Any tips would be helpful! Thanks so much!

Why not let him try wearing the underwear during the night? Let him try it for a while and give him the chance to get used to it. You may have to get up at night to help him out, but he'll get used to it.

At this point his bladder likely just isn't big enough to get through the night and he's sleeping so deeply that the signal of a full bladder doesn't wake him up. Make sure you have water proof pad under his sheets.
About 2 hours before bedtime restrict his fluids to about 2 ounces of water at teeth brushing time to swish and drink with.
If you are up after him by a couple of hours it wouldn't hurt for you to get him up and sit him on the potty. He's likely to fall right back to sleep as soon as he's laying down again.
Don't get upset over accidents...bedtime accidents happen and it's not something he can control. Don't get upset over it just get it cleaned up and get him back to bed. Accidents at night will happen for the next few years without it being anything wrong. Expect them anytime he's going through a change in his life...preschool or a new sibling is common times for it. Ask your parents and his father's parents about what time you guys outgrew nighttime accidents and that will give you a better idea when this will stop.
Congrats on getting him potty trained this early!! Most little boys don't figure it out even in the daytime until after 3 yrs old!

Well. My daughter wore pull ups when she potty trained at night...she did very well I just use to ask her if she used to wake up and she did excellent...we also keep her little potty upstairs with her and then she just goes on the big potty during the day.

nothing you can do put keep him in a diaper or pull up. night time training comes much later. my son is almost 5 and is rarely dry, this is not something you can force, his body has to mature

I eventually just started letting my daughter where her panties to bed, if she made a mess then I just cleaned it up in the morning. I would also wake her up before I went to bed and have her go to the bathroom before I went to bed. you might give it a try he may surprise you. Good luck.
