I came to an elementary school today thinking I would do a guest lecture for about 25 11-12yo. Their teacher had a personal emergency and had to leave, so they combined two classes. I now had to teach 54 9-12yo. I thought I had some educational skills, turns out doing a quiz with 54 kids is hard. I'm exhausted.

Do we need to be night training? I was kind of thinking it would happen on its own? I've tried letting B sleep in underwear just two times and both times did not go well. She wakes up dry about 3-5x a week. I just let Dude lead the way. One night he insisted he was wearing underwear so we went with it. I think that was about 2 months ago? Only two accidents since and both when he was sick with his sinus infection. I didn't think he was ready but he surprised me. FX you're going to have similar luck! ETA: He had been waking up dry probably 5 nights a week for about a month prior Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk This is kind of where we are. We haven't had a daytime accident in a really really long time, but it's 50-50 if she wakes up dry or not. She told me last night she doesn't want to wear pull-ups to bed anymore, so will probably follow that lead soon enough. Those of you who have kids that are night trained, do they wake up to use the bathroom by themselves or are they just able to hold it the entire night?

guster E only used pull ups at night for a month or so. She sleeps all night without a potty break.

I didn't prep anything for dinner tonight, and the thought of doing it now sounds terrible. I can throw fries, broccoli and chicken cutlets in the oven or maybe order a pizza. Either way, i'm going to have to sacrifice and make myself a salad to stay on track.

I know this varies from kid to kid but Dude drinks a lot right before bed and still has only had to get up a couple times. One time he was disoriented and stumbled out of his room asking for help, the other time he did everything on his own. I didn't want to night train because I was afraid of having to get up MOTN to deal with it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That's sort of where I am, cagoldi. Josie and Charlie share a room right now, and if she were to get up to use the bathroom, I fear that she would wake him and then I'd have to be up, too.

Cadence is dry when she wakes up and has gotten up on her own motn a few times, but she still wants to wear pullups to bed. We forgot pullups a few weeks ago when we went to my dad's, but I chickened out and ran to the store for pullups because I didn't want to deal with pee mattresses that weren't mine.

Congrats csho! peachsmama, I'm laughing about chicken butts. The more you know. Re: night training -- my understanding was that you can't really "train" for nighttime and it had to happen on its own. Maybe I'm wrong? E was dry overnight for months so we moved to underwear, and then he had a week of back to back to back accidents so we went back to pull-ups. Now he tends to be dry again so maybe we will try underwear overnight in a month or so. He usually wakes up MOTN and calls for us if he had to pee.

calimocho, I thought it was also a biological move that we had no control over. But I've heard so many anecdotes in the other direction that I don't know what to believe anymore.

Ds is potty trained during the day, but not even close at night. Plus according to him he won't poop on the toilet until he's at least 12... okay kid.

B has not made a big fuss about wanting to wear underwear to bed. Sometimes she will say that she is going to wear underwear soon since she is "a big kid - not a baby, like C." But she never balks or fights when I put her in a pull-up at night.

guster, confession that I really don't know if C gets up most nights to pee because if she does, she does it on her own and I sleep through it. Eff no to going back to waking during the night for pottying when it's not necessary. There have been a few times where she woke up in the middle of the night and came to sleep with me and I've taken her to the bathroom first just in case. I think she sleeps through the night most nights though. I'm always amazed at how much more powerful their bladders are. I pee like every 2 hours and they can go for hours without a bathroom break. I have a nightlight in the bathroom so she can see without turning on the light. In terms of night training being more of a biological issue than a training issue, that's where I'm at with it but I think some kids (like my M) needed some extra help to get there due to habits like too much water at night, not peeing just before bed, etc. Personally, I would also wait until my kiddo is going to the bathroom independently during the day before I went Pull-Up-less solely for the fact that I don't want to be woken up at 3 am to wipe someone's butt. Have I mentioned I don't want to be woken during the night on the regular by a 3+ yo?

I don't think Josie would wake me up. She goes to the bathroom on her own during the day, and there is a bathroom in their room, so it would be easy, but my special little boy is awoken up by anything other than darkness and total silence.
