Drop nappies at night too?

[spiralqueen]

On day 4 of potty training but keeping DD (2.9) in nappies at night. Is this ok or should we be trying to stop night nappies as well? Plus how long do you let training go on for if it is not working very well?

DD rather more hit than miss at the moment as she likes to be private when she wees/poos so is only telling us after the event. Happy sitting on the loo or potty. She did say to me this morning "I don't want big girl pants I want nappies" but feel as if we should give it longer rather than giving up. We are using a reward chart which we talked to DD about ("That sounds nice") but not many stickers so far.

Nursery are being very supportive (she goes full time) and most of her class are potty training at the moment (there are only half a dozen children) so she can see the others learning with her.

i would say keep the night nappies until she is waking up dry. my DD (2.9) has been potty trained during the day for about 6 months but still has nappies on at night. last weekend we actually tried her with no nappies at night as we thought she was being lazy and weeing her nappy when she woke first thing before getting up. we explained that she had no nappy and she was to use potty in her room which she said she understood but we had a wet bed every morning, so i have put her back in nappies and will wait abit longer before trying again.

I'd keep going with the training if I were you, but leave her in the pullups at night until she wakes up dry for a few nights in a row.

DS (2.4) has been potty training for about 2 weeks now. He's now pretty much 100% dry during the day, but since we told him that nappies are for babies he has completely refused to wear pullups at night. Trouble is that he can't stay dry at night yet & we have to lift him twice a night so he doesn't wet the bed. It would be so much easier if he would still wear the damn things!
