DS was a slightly late potty trainer at 3.3. At the same time as becoming dry in the day he has more or less become dry at night (that is since august). I have still been putting a pull up on him at night but since August there has probably only been 3 ocassions when the pullup has been wet in the morning (one was earlier this week when he was ill with a tummy bug so i think that would be a one off).

There about about 4 pullups left in the pack so when i go shopping should i buy another pack or just stop putting a pullup on at night. I only buy the supermarket own brand so its not really a cost issue.

Due to the late day training, night training hadn't even crossed my mind and i would have been quite ok if he'd have needed a night nappy till 5 or 6 but being as he seems to be dry wondering if i should just go for it.

for info, he usually holds his wee all night, a couple of times when he has woken up he has asked for a wee in the night.

ds had never had a dry night but I took nappies away for night and day at the same time. he doesn't wet the bed but wakes up every night to use the potty still. he was 2.5.

Hmm, my 3.4 year old has been dry in the day for a few months now but his night time pull up is still always wet. I just wonder whether I should try him without a pull up for a night just to see if he can do it? He has a potty by his bed anyway.

I ddn't wait until DS even had one dry night because his nappies were always wet through in the morning. But I decided to bite the bullet anyway and try a night without a nappy and all was fine; he just didn't wet the bed. My last pack of nappies was one that had been passed on to me by a friend whose DD had become dry at night - and I passed them on to someone else. So, no, OP, I wouldn't buy any more pull ups.

I chose an arbitrary 7 consecutive dry nappies. Had a handful of accidents since.
