2 yr ol DS getting me up 2-3 times per night for a pee pee!!

[sharond101]

2 year old DS has been potty training for a week and a half now and is doing fantastically well with few accidents to report. I have been keeping a training nappy on him during the night and he has been waking up 2 or 3 times every night and crying as he wants the toilet. I am knackered! How do you deal with this. His nappy is largely dry in the morning.

Could you put a potty next to the bed for him and put him in very loose trousers or a nightie so he can get up and pee himself perhaps?

He is still in his cot, maybe its time to come out??

I am having the same DS day potty trained at Xmas but is now waking up for night wees. We have a 10 month old who is also waking so I'm exhausted.

The advice I have been given is to take him to the toilet when I go to bed but he is too disorientated when I try. So no advice just sympathy

Perhaps it is time for the cot sides to come off? You could put a gate across his door to stop him coming out of his room if that becomes a problem.

When my ds was potty trained he suddenly became dry overnight too so I gave him a nightlight (up to then he'd always slept in the pitch dark) and put a potty in his room. We rewarded him with stickers for nights when he used it quietly and went straight back to bed; this worked for a while until he started using it to poo in the early hours and then staying awake. I've now promised him a toy tomorrow because he has played/read quietly in his room without waking anyone else for the whole week - every night and morning I've been reminding him of this and it seems to have worked!

I think cot side off also

Mine once trained I added nightlight in hall between bedroom and toilet. Toilet seat and step so they can do alone, and just pjs without pants under so it's easy for them.

Although tbh we prob still went with them for a few months.. But usually just once in the night once we were asleep max

He just seems so small to let him do this alone and to have a potty in his room would be a problem as he always insists on emptying it into the toilet by himself. He is 2yr 3 mo

I put mine back in a nappy at night because he was getting up 4/5 times a night and not going back to sleep and I felt though he was ready to be dry and could physically do it the negative effect on his sleep having an effect on his mood eating etc was not worth it he started going in the nappy again straight away we are going to retry nights in a couple of months when he's closer to 3. I think he just wasn't ready to go such a long period without a pee and he was to small to just get up and go to the loo alone.

My DD did exactly this when we first started potty training at just under 2 years old and it was bloody exhausting. It was however a quite short lived phase and after a few weeks she stopped waking and started going in her bed nappy. She then became dry at night (without waking for a wee) at about 2 and a half. Fingers crossed for you that it's just a phase and will pass quickly.

My ds was the same so every night as I was going to bed I used to carry him to the loo and sit him on there for a few mins and say wee wee time quietly to him , he'd wake up a little and go to wee but would still go straight off to sleep when put back into bed .
Over a week or so he started going longer through the night until he slept till morning without a wee.
