I wanted any tips for helping my toddler sleep through the night without wetting her bed. She is doing very well potty training and takes her naps in daycare with no wetting. I would like to start weaning out diapers all together. Any suggestions?

Have you talked to your child's pediatrician about this? Generally, night time dryness is related to hormones and bladder maturity--not potty training. HTH

Is her diaper dry in the morning? With my DD we would try underpants at night. If she wet the bed, we waited a few weeks and tried again. One night she got up during the night to go potty and has been in underpants all the time since then.

The only thing that may help is no liquids before bed. I stop giving them to my DD at 6, her bedtime is 8:30-9pm. If she is thirsty and asks for her juice, i tell her no, its to late. If she insists I tell her she can have a small cup of water (One of the small bathroom cups only filled less then halfway) She hates water so she gets enough in her mouth to not be thristy but not enough to have to use the bathroom.

You will know she is ready when her diapers are dry in the AM. My DD used to take hers off sometime in the night and everything would be dry. Thats when the diapers were gone for good


GL!

After nap times her diapers are dry but not overnight. She has taken off her diaper during the early morning hours, but there have been accidents with that.
The most recent time, she was very uncomfortable with the wet sheets. I have another baby on the way and we were planning to switch her crib to bed mode.
So, I should probably begin that first.
No liquids past a certain time. I give her a bottle before bed but will begin phasing that out as well.
Experimenting a few nights with no diapers and if not may be just give her a little more time.
Sadly, because she is in daycare I get surprised at all the things she knows, so I just want to make sure I am keeping up with her. If she is ready, I want to help her. If not then we can wait.

How old is she? Because it really is about physical maturity with night time dryness. Avoiding liquids before bed helps.

They have to have sufficient bladder control to hold the urine while in deep sleep for a long period of time. Also they need to feel the urge which wakes them up. That is the problem for a lot of older kids who persist in bedwetting. They don't wake up until they feel the uncomfortable wetness.

She will be 3 in September.
