Help with night time potty training a 4yr old please!

We've left it a bit late to take our 4 year old out of pull-ups at night because she had Poo related issues which I won't go into -Yuck.

Anyway, we ditched the pull-ups a month ago but she is still weeing in her bed at least 3 times a night. We've tried 'lifting her' (as my MIL calls it) so that we get her out of bed and plonk her on the loo at 9pm and again when we go to bed but even then she'll wee at least once more during the night.

We've stopped giving her much to drink after about 5.30 so God knows how she has such a full bladder in the first place.

Any ideas of other things we can try - I am going insane with the sheet washing and having to get up so much in the night.

Put her back in pull ups
Life is too short
iirc it's all to do with the brain producing a certain hormone and in some children it can take until 6/7 years

Thanks Greydove I would love to but her bloody teacher told her that children at 'big school' don't wear nappies. Have tried to persuade her pull-ups are knickers not a nappy but she isn't falling for it.

Oh God, I cannot possibly wash 2 sets of wet sheets every night for the next 3 years!

Think I might go and see her teacher and demand politely request she undo the damage she has done.

I would complain to the teacher!

Plenty of kids will still be in pull ups overnight beyond reception

When my DD was still using nappies at night I didnt mention it at school or with friends mum, it means that... this teachers sometimes simply dont know. The important thing is dont push and soon she will wake you up in the middle of night wee wee wee and you will have to help her, then she will go by herself and finally stop waking up. As Greydove weel mentioned is the hormone, and its good to remember her that is not her fault, and it will adjust at some point by itself.
