Night Time Diapers

I used the diapers until my kids woke up dry consistantly in the morning. An accident is fine to deal with , but every night would be horrible! I have a friend who potty trained her son and he did great during the day. At night they would wake him up at midnight to go to the bathroom and then he usually wet the bed anyways. I thought this was foolish! They should let him sleep threw the night and just put a diaper or pullup on him until he can go all night without an accident. She has had to scrub the mattress and changes the sheets all the time!

My son would stay dry at night for almost a year before he was day trained, so it was not an issue for me. My daughter on the other hand I will have to keep her in diapers at night until she is potty trained. As it is now she wakes up with soaking wet pajamas.

With my oldest she wore pull ups at night for just a little bit but she did so well at night we didn't have to do them long. My middle one still wears them at night. She potty trained right after she turned 3. She will be 4 next month. She is my difficult one. She is very stubborn and just doesn't care. She doesn't care if she pees in her bed and she doesn't get up to go. So for now it is just easier to put a pull up on her. I'm trying to just limit her liquids at night so she doesn't have to pee while she is sleeping.

I uses Pullups on my kids until they were able to tell me when they needed to potty. My two sons took a little bit longer then my daughter. She would go to the potty when her brothers went so one day she went in there and sat on the potty because her bubbas needed to go and she actually went. She was so excited because she was a big girl and she was able to do something her brothers did. At night time I tend to to cut out there liquid intake because that helps with wetting the bed. But I am fortunate that my kids will wake up and go potty when they feel the urge in the middle of the night. I have been awaken at 3am in the morning because my kids needed to go potty and for some reason my bathroom always seemed closer lol.

Once I started taking of a dry diaper in the morning I knew it was time. I would put a water proof pad between their sheet and mattress pad. My boys only wore diapers at night for a few weeks but I remember with my daughter it was a little longer.

When I was potty training my kids, the diapers were gone. They wore cloth training pants. I don't even know if you can find them or not. I never once had a problem with my daughter once she got off the bottle. She never wet her pants. My son took a little longer like boys usually do. But he wore training pants all the time. HE would wet his pants and never tell me he needed to go to the bathroom. My doctor said try leaving his wet pants on him when he does that and see how long it takes him to stop. It didn't take very long at all!! I think putting a diaper on a training child gives them the wrong message. Put a plastic sheet on the bed under your regular sheet.

My daughter was daytime potty trained by 18 months, but she was at least 5 before I quit putting diapers on her at bedtime. Some kids just aren't ready to sleep through the night without wetting. She always slept so soundly that she didn't wake up when she needed to go. My stepson was 10 before he stopped wetting the bed. It isn't the child's fault. It's just the way their body operates. So take your cue from his habits and don't make a big deal of it. It will stop when his body is ready.

I started potty training with my older son quite early and after the first 3 months....he used a diaper only when we went out and one at night. During the daytime, he would go on cue and we would hold him out at first. Very quickly, he learnt to signal when he wanted to go (cry a particular way). By 18 months, he was totally potty trained and out of a daiper. My little one, it was harder.He's 3 now and till recently, he used a diaper at night. He was potty trained...but he would have accidents at night. But I realized that it was a waste to use a diaper each day because he wasn't wetting every night. But hubby didn't want any hassles in the middle of the night...and insisted we continue with the one diaper a night. Now, our son's not been wearing a diaper to bed for a little more than a month now and the only accident happened a couple of days back. I prefer to continue this way...and he'll soon be fine.

My oldest daughter is 3 and she never woke up with a dry diaper and my husband had trouble at night when he was younger also. They sleep to heavy that they don't wake up even when they have to potty. Of course my husband does now. My daughter will sleep through anything. We put pull ups on her at night. I think my younger daughter will be easier and she won't have trouble at night but I didn't really start potty training her yet so we will see.

Hi Kat! I think that you already have more experience diaper training than I do, but i would still reccomend keeping a diaper on your toddler overnight until you're sure that he's consistently not wetting at night. He's still pretty little, after all! Especially if he's sleeping 10 to 12 hours overnight. As you say, the trick is to get him to the bathroom first thing- that's really the only way to tell if he made it or not. My daughter regularily peed in her diaper in the morning if I didn't take her to the bathroom right away. Once I caught on, I realized that she was making it all night and had no compunctions about using her diaper first thing to save herself a trip! If your husband is the person in the best position to achieve this, then I respectfully suggest that you make him responsible for this - nicely, of course! And if your hubby slips up, he can deal with it, and then he won't mess up too much more! Men learn so well when we let them deal with their own responsibilities and just don't say a word, and don't rescue them. The trick is to not make him feel bad about it. Just a casual, "Huh, I'll get you a towel" or whatever is appropriate. Good luck with your boys!!

My eldest was dry at night long before he was dry during the day. Weird huh? I kept nappies on him at night long after they were needed, as the prospect of getting up in the night to change wet bedlinen was just so unappealing!

Well I used to put her a pull up so the toddler thinks that he is with his pant on not diapers. I found then really good, and if an accident happens at night, you don't have to clean up everything since pull up are like diapers. My toddler is three now and she is potty trained she gave me a hard time to learn but at last we did it.

That's very good to potty train and eliminate the diapers once and for all. In fact my daughter still wears diapers at night to bed although she doesn't during her afternoon naps and during the day time. But, i guess she is controlling it quite well now as I do noticed that sometimes the diapers are dry and she doesn't pee into the diapers anymore and goes to the potty when she wakes up in the morning. Looks like a good sign to me.

my son is 2 and a half year old. he no longer use diaper now since he was 2.He used to sleep with my parents. And they say they trained him as early as 1 and a half. he is usually active and playful so when they see my son quiet that's the clue for them to take my son to the bathroom.They say at night they still put diaper but they take him to bathroom before taking him to bed. He's now sleeping with me and when he needs to go to bathroom he wakes me up but he sometimes wet bedding.

I do not have any kids right now, but I'm pregnant, and I'm interested in potty training too. I think it's good to train the kids to get rid of the diapers when they are young, as I think wearing diapers is not really good for the kids. My mother-in-law is a babysitter, and I see the kids she's taking care stopped wearing diapers when they were 2 years old, so I think she can really train the kids well.

Like you, I also potty trained my kids at about the same age, i had no problems with my girl but my son will still wet the bed from time to time so I opted to put diapers during night time. Although there is a revolutionary (LOL) diapers in the market today, the pull ups, its a bit more expensive than the regular diapy but it works like an underwear so your child can pull it down when he remembers that he needs to go potty but if ever 'accidents' happen, he will still be protected coz he still is wearing a diaper. As for my son what we do is we wake up at night and ask him to go potty, we made this a nightly routine, so now whenever he feels potty, he wakes up and asks to go potty, so after a little while with our routine, we felt confident enough to wean him off the diapers and well now for us, diapers are a thing of the past ^_^

It is really nice that your baby is improving day by day and helping you more by doing his daily chores by himself and not spoiling your time. I think stopping daippers is a good thing as it is never good for kids to wear a lot of daipers as it damages the skin.

I did not have any problem potty training my daughter who is 4 years old now. i Started removing her diapers when she was 2 years old and it went well but as of now my 1 year old boy i am starting to remove his diapers during thte day, and the good thing is he already know what to say when he wants to pee..he would say weee weee hehehehe and then i would put out his private area and he would pee lol

Doing really well on the potty training.Keep up thr good work.:)

it will be best to have diapers at night during training time. Before sleep, of course, bring her to the toilet.. potty train is all about being patient, they will learn in no time.. =)
