Daughter with club foot night potty training

My daughter is almost 3 and has been out of nappies (except night) for over 18 months now. Ridiculously early i know! But she copied her 3 year old brother and just took to it so well. Her brother is now wanting/trying to be out of nappies at night and as always she want to too. But where she was born with club foot (both feet) she has to wear boots and bar at night & therefore can't get up freely. Has anyone been in this position and had any advice? Please! Many thanks

Potty by the bed and she calls out so you can lift her? My 3 yr old dgs came out of a night nappies a few months ago and we can always hear him if he stirs needing a wee and plonk him on as he's not usually awake enough to go by himself?
And a few kylie sheets (or even puppy pads) for the nights you aren't quick enough or she doesn't wake.
But I wouldn't try unless she's having lots of dry nights!

We had similar issues as DD has cerebral palsy with mobility problems, and wears a leg splint. We had:

A very stable good potty seat with lid in her room near the bed (the Boon potty bench, I don't think it's still available but similar ones are).

We kept a baby monitor on quite loud at night so we could hear her as soon as she woke up and needed to go.

We used rechargeable motion sensor nightlights so we could pop through quickly and help her without turning all the lights on.

We lifted her to try for the potty when we went to bed.

Washable peapod/brolly sheet bed mats/washable duvet (quite thin but you can add blankets on top) for super easy bedding changes.

Good luck! x
