Theres probably a thread somewhere with all the answers, but, err, it's 4.30am ..! dd has been dry at night for about 6wks, she's 5.has had odd accident, but always a reason e.g. drinking fizzy drinks. but she's wet again tonite for 3rd time in a row with no reason we can work out. Lack of sleep plus extra loads of washing (+ wet weather + no tumble drier!) are taking their toll on me. should I give up and put her back in trainer pants for a while, or persevere? Don't want to make her feel bad/babyish or set her back in any way, but I'm getting too tired to function and I've got training courses to deliver at work all week!! Any advice welcome, if there's anyone else out there up at this time of the night!

No I wasn't up at that time ths morning!
Personally, I would persevere, if you did go back to pull ups then you will have to tackle coming out of them again and 6 weeks of no accidents must be a sign that your DD was ready.
My DS has been dry at night for around 8 weeks and he usually has a couple of accidents a week. With him, I just feel he is ready for it and once I started potty training I made a decision to stick with it. I hope it is a passing phase she is going through and you manage to get some more sleep (and some nice weather to dry the sheets would be nice too! )

ask her? if she doesn't want to then don't

do you have those pampers care mats?

another trick is to make bed witg lots od sheets ie waterproof sheet then sheet then care mat then sheet and so on, so if there's an accident just strip off one layer and go back to bed

try sticker chart building up to present for consecutive dry nights

try lifting her to toilet when you go to bed

sorry for typos am BF
