How old was your child when he/she stopped wearing diapers?

my daughter was almost a little over 2 and a half when she stopped wearing diapers, at night as well. we never had night time problems but for the first couple of monts i would wake her up at midnight to go to the bathroom so that would make sure of no accidents until she got used to getting up if she had to pee

My oldest son was the hardest of my kids to potty train. I would get him almost completely trained, and something would happenin our life to cause him to regress. I think he was almost 4 before I got him completely trained. I used pull-ups at night and regular underwear during the day. I would not give him anything to drink anhour before bed, and make sure he went to the bathroom right before bed. When he woke up dry, he was praises and I would reward him with stickers each time he woke up dry, and also each time I he used the potty during the day and stayed dry. He didn't havetoo may episodes of wetting the bed once I was able to get him going really good without the set-backs. My daughter was a different story. She began potty training around the age of 2 or a little before. She was about 3 1/2 before there were no more accidents. Once in a while, if she is sick, she will still have an accident at night. I use a plastic matress cover on her bed to help keep the matress from being urine soaked in the event of an accident. They are pretty cheap at Wla-mart and help a lot. I would really recommend gettin gone, and if you cannot afford it, put those big black trach bags over her matress, and under her sheets. That is a cheap and easy way to protect the matress. That way, she can go to bed with her panties on and if she does have an accident, it won't soak the matress, plus,she is more likely to wake up because it doesn't soak in as easily. Here's a funny story for you. When my daughter was beginning to potty trin, we lived with my Mom. The kids and I all shared a room. My boys slept in one bed, my daughter and I in another. I would have her go to the bathroom right before bed, but there were a couple of times when she woke up in the midle of the night and had to go. Apparently, she thought she was in the bathroom because I was woke up to her sitting on my leg (I was lying on my side) and peeing on me! Talk about a rude awakening. At the time, it was far from funny, but now, I can look back and laugh.

My kids all were trained by the age of 2 1/2. I did however use diapers at night until they stayed dry for at least a week. For me, I would rather not have to deal with the cleaning up the sheets and teh mattress. I think if you clean your child as soon as she wakes up, it helps avoid UTI.

Oh my... my daughter is almost three years old and she is still using diapers the whole day... i try potty training her... but she doesn't want to use just undies... she would cry and beg me to put a diaper on her... i guess she is still not ready... Well, i think your husband should not have the upper hand here... since the health of you daughter is at stake... better a urine smelling bed than a child with UTI...

Hi dorisday x My eldest was potty trained at about 2 years but she was ready for it and only had the odd wet night. I also did the plastic sheet & limited drinks before bed which seem to work. My youngest is 1 so still have the pleasure of training her when she's ready. Your daughter will adjust with time and if you grab a plastic under sheet it will prevent the bed from smelling but you'll need to disenfect this regulary & just wash the bed clothes as need. Good Luck x

im quite lucky with my eldest son.at age of 2 he doesn't wear a diaper already.i potty trained him at an early age but he himself doesn't feel like using a diaper.what i do everytime before going to our bed i ask my son to wewee first and its becomes a habbit for him before sleeping so its very seldom our bed gets wet.

my son stopped using diapers when he was 5, yes too old. im a single mom back then, no time to really teach my son how to pee. thank God i still had my dad when i was a single mom. hes the one who taught my son how to pee before bedtime.

I think my son stopped to use the diapers when he was about 3 years old. It is a natural process. In fact he didn't like to use diapers, perhaps he didn't feel very comfortable as the biggest size didn't fit him so well anyway. I told him that if he wanted to have an urine, then just woke us up. I told him that he would do it well. Be sure I would let him go to the toilet before going to bed. And I used some quilts and a plastic cover so that it would try to avoid the urine. And he just succeed it at last and I am glad to it. I think your child will stop using the diapers soon. I love China

My first stopped both day and night just before she turned 2 - I've never potty - trained any of my children, they have choosen to take away the diapers themselves. The other two was just under 2,5 when they stopped. The youngest is the only one that had any accidents and that during the days - she didn't have the time to go.

Hello, my son was 2 when we started potty training him. He was finished in about 3 days and would go on the toilet all day. Night however has been a problem for him. There was a couple things that I did to help the situation. I left plastic on his mattress and placed the sheet over it. This way if he did wet the bed I could wash his sheets and blankets and clothes, and wipe his sheet down with I used lysol, what whatever you prefer. This will keep her bed fresh. I also would wake up around 12 or 1 am...and wake him up and have him go to the bathroom. His bladder just wouldnt wake him up most nights. I would also limit the amount of drinks he has before bed, and always made sure he went pee before bed. Those a just a couple tips...hope this helps!!

My daughter stopped wearing diapers around 1 1/2 years. Our son was about 3 years old. Get yourself a rubber sheet. Have a hamper or diaper pail near by with a plastic bag in it, to put the sheets at night if you have to change them, and remove them in the morning, warm soap and water will remove the urine, and spray with lysol. Plus was the blankets, as sometimes they tuck the blankets between their legs. Check the pillow for any moisture or stains and was that as well. You can get covers for your pillows and also rubber ones, but make sure you put a pillow protector over it and then 2 pillow cases, as the rubber can get warm while sleeping and make one sweat. Good luck with your little girl. Hugs MaryLynn

I have two boys ages three and one. We started potty training our oldest son at age two which is recamended by most people. Reason for this is because this is around the age when they are able to control when they use the bathroom. My youngest son is about to turn two in March and is already showing signs that he's ready to be potty trained. Back on the subject there are certain types of blankets that you can place under your child that retain the urine this will help to keep the matress from smelling. You should also make sure your daughter uses the bathroom before falling asleep. Bed wetting is something that will go away, but that's just one of the things us loving parents will go through throughout our kids life.

My son stopped wearing diaper when he was three. He feel more comfortable without diapers.

I only have one kid. He is now 21 years old. But when he was young, he stops wearing diaper at 4 months old. I diligently trained him as a child. During night time I'd wake up from to 3 times to bring him to the bathroom so he could urinate. That trained him at very early age. I did not spent that much in diapers and also my was saved fro the discomfort of wearing them diapers during his infancy and early childhood.

about 3 years,i like him, you should let him fourlw U
