How to potty train a child at night time?

My only suggestion is an hour or two before bedtime limit how much he drinks. We never really found anything that worked very well. They both just sort of outgrew it. Good Luck!

You can't train him to stay dry at night. Nighttime wetting is not a choice he is making. He's not going to stay dry at night until his bladder is big enough to hold it all night. I would plan on keeping him in a diaper or pullup at night until he starts staying dry. And I wouldn't expect that to happen until he is at least 3. You are already doing great by having him daytime trained at 2! There are a few things you can do to help him stay dry at night. Cut off all liquids at least an hour before bedtime (then allow him to have a small drink right before going to bed) and make sure he goes to the bathroom right before going to bed. If you want, you can get him up during the night and have him go to the bathroom, but I wouldn't worry about that. You are doing a great job!

When my kids were small I always made sure they went just before bedtime. Before my own bedtime I would wake them up and make them go to the bathroom again. This really helped. Keep a diaper or disposable training pants on them until you are sure they are completely trained at night. My older son was completely trained day and night at 14 months when his baby brother was born. He wanted to be a big boy for his baby brother. My second took till almost three years old to be clean and dry day and night. Every child is different.

Hello Arvee17, Actually,there is no night time training,it is mainly a matter of if and when the bladder grows with the rest of the body,many children's do not and they will wet the bed for years,the doctors do not concider this a problem untill they are around 6 years of age. you can have the doctor check for this and he can tell you if it is just to small right now. do not make a fuss,he will get over it in time.

Hi! Can't really help much since my baby is just 16 months old and NOT potty trained yet. How did you go about the potty training? I would like to start already and really don't know how to do it.

I have never trained any of my children for nighttime. This because i think children as young as your son doesnt have the bladder control needed, it hasnt matured enough. It will come with time and he will show you or tell you when he is ready. No pressure is important. I have three sons and they all did it in their own pace. The slowest one needed diapers until after he turned four, the fastest one was ready before age three, so children are different. Good luck to you, its awesome what you have already accomplished, good boy!

I think night training is something each child has to do on their own. My oldest was dry at night from the time she was about 2 but didn't start using the potty during the day until after she turned 3. My other two are 5 and 4 and both wear pull-ups at night because they always soak the bed. They were using the potty during the day at 2 1/2 and almost 4 respectively. I am beginning to wonder if they will ever stay dry at night or if I have bed wetters. I have tried all the tricks but nothing works for those two.

you are doing a good job because your son is already trained at 2 some boys even have a harder time than you. when it comes to potty training at bed time, i don't know much about that because I'm not a mom yet... good luck!

My son is 3, and not potty trained yet, so I can't answer as far as boys go. However with my daughter, it really helped by getting her up a few times at night, whether she had to pee or not (usually she did). It got her in the habit of going, and I think helped in terms of waking up if she felt the need to go (whether she actually realized it immediately or not). We did have many nights of wet beds, but after a while, we gradually faded out the night pants. She got to the point of being really upset if I asked her to put one on (she really wanted "big girl" underwear. LOL) Sometimes we did fight her being very tired and cranky about it. I guess all par for the course.

I have two kids and they are only potty-trained for the day. For my girl, she automatically controlled her bladder in the night 2 days after she was potty-trained. She was 25 months old then. Somehow, her subconsciousness in the night might have done it. There were a few wetting incidents though. For my son, he needed his diapers on at night until he was four. It happened one day when his elder cousins slept over in his bedroom. He looked up to them and wanted to emulate them like a big boy. With the determination, he overcome the night-wetting problem. So no training was needed. That was my lazy way out.

There is no way to train a baby at night time. His bladder is probably not physically mature enough for it yet. Be happy with the day time success and the night time will come in it's own time.

I have two boys myself ,which were quite lazy as boys are they wer potty train . Damian was around 3 years old when he started being potty trained . We would not give him a drink after 5.30pm as he was off to bed a 7.00pm . By 5.30pm he would had been all wee out but just in case we would put a pull up nappy on him for those nasty accidents they may happen!!

Once a child is fully trained he will get up and go potty at night by himself. My kids now sleep through and never use the potty at nighty, because I am sure to make them go right before bed and I don't let them drink anything before bed. I wouldn't use diapers at night--try using underpants and see if he wets them-- they sell matrress protectors if you're worried he might ahve an accident. If he just tured 2 he might not be quite ready, but in a short while I'm sure he'll be totally potty trained. Good luck!

i think you just need to establish a routine/schedule with your child. for instance, just before bedtime, you should always make it a point to make him go to the toilet or to his potty chair and make him pee, even if it takes you forever. he should also do this after he wakes up in the morning. you'd probably still need to make him wear nappies at night, just in case peeing accidents happen. hope this helps! :)

My daughter was pretty good with her night time. we've only had one accident. she was a little over two years when i started the training and she was having dry diapers in the morning so i new it was time for the night time training. what i did was i would cut out drinks about an hour and a half before bed time and before i went to bed at night around 11 or 11:30 i would wake her up to go pee. we did this routine for about a month and she was fine to sleep all night after that. but remember accidents will happen. just have a spare setr of sheets on hand so it goes fast.
