Potty training

What to do? DS who turns 4 next month...

...has struggled with potty training but now is fairly reliable during day (occasionally has an accident but I would say not more than monthly now). However, he is still not managing in the night. I waited until he'd had two weeks of dry pull-ups in bed and took them off. Things were ok it seems for 2 more weeks, but then he started wetting every night. He climbs into our bed in the early hours so decided to put pull-ups on after three nights in a row having to change sheets (on both beds at times).

Tried him again a few days ago - wet the bed at about 4am.

So what I am asking is - what to do? Keep on putting the nappies/pull-ups on every night and not worry about it or need I be concerned? He wets the pull-ups almost every night. I do make sure he uses the loo last thing but to no avail. And often the pull-up can't manage the amount he does - and leaks all over him and the bed anyway Sad.

You can't train night time dryness - he'll be ready when he's ready. Worry about it when he's 7.

Use a proper nappy for every night time to soak up all the wee.

Meant to add, if he's consistently dry at night for a couple of months, give it a go.

Thanks. I will take your advice and try to chill out about it a bit for a while. He is only 3.11 after all!

Agree with Moogalicious, I'd say 4 was young-ish to be dry at night.

If the pull-up doesn't hold it all then get proper night-time nappies.
