This physiological development isn’t typically complete until 6 years of age. That’s why nighttime bedwetting (enuresis) is common in children up until 5 or 6 years
So I wouldn’t make a big deal from this. Just keep liquid intake low before the night, encourage toilet use before bed and upon waking, use a pull up for the night and let her enjoy a good night sleep. She’ll get there when she’s ready.

We woke our children up before we went to bed this did help .

Just until we got into the habit – we limited drinks from 4pm. No drinks after dinner at 6pm. No drinks in bed. Toilet before the bath at 6/6:30pm. Toilet again just before sleep at 7pm. We took her to the toilet when we went to bed around 10/11pm. We took her before she woke, she would wake at 7am so we took her around 6am and returned her to bed.

Don’t laugh but just before you are due to go to bed,carry her still sleeping to the toilet, out her on still asleep and she might go naturally then put her back to bed, it’s dream weeing.. It should help. Also if you wake I in the middle of the night do the same again, until she starts having dryer nights.

My boys were the same. We started taking them to the toilet just before we went to bed around 10:30-11:00pm and after a while they just became dry themselves. Although my youngest who is 4 in July still has pull ups because he has the odd accident but my 1st son was just over 4 once he started having full dry nights he turns 5 next month. Try not to give them drinks right before going to bed

This is bet wetting, not toilet training. They either grow out of it by the time they get to school, or it ca last until puberty. There is little that you can do about it she will just have to grow out of it. If it is every night I would see a doctor. If not then try waking her before you go to bed and out her on the toilet. I just have a mattress protector and I am waiting for my so to go out f it.

My four yr old decided that he did not want to wear nappies at night anymore, so I bought brollie sheets off gumtree and done the usual pee before bed etc and he always sleeps through the night as a heavy sleeper so never gets up but is always dry. He pees as soon as he gets up in morning. So it was a matter of waiting fr him to decide then helping him achieve his goal.

I believe the key with day or night toilet training is to be patient and be led by the child I don’t think it’s something you can force the child to do or get angry with them because they do wet the bed.
It will happen and sometimes the night training girls do take longer than boys.

Don’t rush her. You would be surprised with how many kids are still in night nappies in the first few years at school. When her night nappy is dry for a week or so you will know she is ready

My daughter is the same, we are just sticking to night nappies until she is more ready.

some times it takes a lot longer and years with some children. you can limit drinks 2 hours before bed and ensure she goes to the toilet before bed but sometimes they just don’t wake. eventually they will just be patient and never blame them or tell them off as it is not their fault they are not waking up.

So encouraging to see these responses – thanks.

Make her go to the toilet just before she goes to sleep, then just before you go to bed, wake her up and make her walk to the toilet, its sounds rough, but they go straight back to sleep when they go back to bed and it makes them get used to waking and going to the toilet.

make her got to toilet before bed,and before you sleep carry her into toilet.

my daughter has just turned 5 and still wears night nappies. Apparently some kids will wet the bed until 6 or 7 and that its completely normal

What a great question. And I love everyone’s answers! My daughter is about to turn 4 and I’ve been trying for the past week without a nappy on but most of the time she still sleeps too soundly and doesn’t wake on her own. She has improved in the mornings though because I was finding she would just wee because she knew she could. I will be putting her pull ups back on and waiting longer. It is the advice I hear from everywhere but it’s still frustrating when so many other kids are night trained

My middle daughter was the same.
I never made a fuss and simply put her in night nappies so that she didnt have to deal with wetting the bed.
When she was in grade one they were taking an over night trip to underwater world where they were going to sleep in the tunnels. She of course didnt want to wear a nappy and i told her that she didnt have to go on the camp if she didnt want to….but she wanted to. Her older sister was also going so she decided that she would give it a go and would make sure she went to the bathroom before bed and that she didnt have anything to drink before bedtime. All the other kids had hot chocolate but she decided that she wouldnt have one and amazingly she made it through the night without an accident and from that night on she stopped wearing night nappies.
My suggestion is just to stay calm, dont remove the nappies because YOU feel its time and then leave her to wet the bed. Im not sure why parents do that as it makes no sense to me. Let your child tell you when they no longer need the nappies and just dont worry about. They are children and its not a competition …it doesnt matter that your friends kids have been out of nappies at night for years. This is not about anyone other then your daughter…this is her life and her story and I doubt very much that she will still be wearing nappies at night at age 10. She will get there.

I’m in the same predicament with my 4yr old son. He just sleeps too heavy. I’m not too worried as I have had a few nights where the nappy is dry. He also has woken up in the night to go to toilet. I’ve been limiting drinks 2hrs prior to bed & making sure he urinates before bed.

My son was toilet trained during the day at 2 but he is nearly 6 and doesn’t look like being dry at night anytime soon, Have tried a lot of things and going to the doctor about it, but most say he will grow out of it when he is ready. Ask your doctor about stretching her bladder (this really just means measuring how much she can hold and if it isn’t much you need to get her to hold on longer before going)

My daughter was the same. We bought her ‘Brolly sheets’ bed protectors to help with the transition and just persevered! I wouldnt be worried at age 4 that shes not night toilet trained, a lot of kids have trouble adjusting to night time toilet training.
