To ask how long it took for your DC to be dry at night

[speedawarenesscourse]

DC1 is 5 and a few months and not yet dry at night. I had been waiting for dry nappies in the morning, but it hasn’t happened yet, and they are very aware that friends don’t now wear nappies so are asking not to.

It’s been about ten days so far, and every night has been like clockwork: fine and dry all night until 5.30-6am, when they come in to say that they have done a wee.

I was just wondering how long it has taken other DC to learn, and if we should just keep on as we are, or if there is something else I can do to help them?

(Sadly I am aware of the very persistent piss troll, so would ask that people don’t give any actual details about their DC that he might enjoy, just how long it took/anything else I can do, thank you so much!)

We were waiting for dry nappies in the morning too but our eldest told us at 5.5 that he didn’t want to wear nappies anymore, took a couple of weeks when we had lots of accidents, particularly if we didn’t get him up at midnight. But quickly got the hang of it but has occasional accidents. About 2 weeks later his little brother said if he’s not wearing them I’m not either and got it in 2 nights at 3.5 and almost never has accidents.

DD was not fully dry until age 11! She was a super heavy sleeper and just didn’t seem to feel when she needed to go. My DS was 2 and a half

DS was 3; DD was 7. We just used pull ups until she was ready. She was very nervous when we started not using them, but all has been fine since, now a teen and never had a night time accident.
I think she was just a really heavy sleeper whereas ds has always slept more lightly.

DS was 3.5 and DD 27months. It wasn’t me it was them!
