is near 3 too soon to expect them to go all night without a pullup?

[hermykne]

ds is pretty much ok in the day and does a wee at 8 before bed but he seems to wee at 5am every 2nd night, so should i put him in pull up? for antoher few months
or am i postponing nighttime conditioning for dryness

Well I went to my Child's First Day At School last week and the hot topic was HTF everyone was planning to get their children out of nappies at night before school starts, so I wouldn't worry too much

If he's gonna be dry, he'll be dry with or without pullups.

MP - similar discussions at school meeting here too, with me looking baffled thinking "but what does it matter... she's not going to be sleeping at school"

DS was about 3 1/2 when we took him out of nighttime nappies. DD was 2.2 and ready sooner but I refused to do it until after our holiday. I did not want to risk wet beds on holiday esp with different sleeping/drinking/eating patterns but at it happens she was dry all fortnight. TBH I think he probably sounds ready and I would give it a go but it is up to you whether you are prepared to take the risk.

dd1 stopped wearing nappies at 22 months, dd2 not until aged 3. In both cases the nappies went completely, ie day and night. surely it's much more confusing to wear nappies some times and not others? If they can do it, they can do it.

PQ i agree, putting it on at night is confusing.
i ll perceivere with the accidents at ngiht , i think he ll come round eventually!. thanks
anyway i dont want to buy them anymore!

But isn't it to do with a hormone whether they can do it or not in their sleep at night?

no idea what to do. dd3 has woken up the last 3 mornings with a dry nappy. and is now 99% dry in the day.

but she is in washables at night, so its just freshjening up the nappies really if she doesnt wet, as stil lwash them after.

flamesparrow i saw that thread , didnt know whether to believe it or not.

misdee - you typing like cod!

i alwats type like thos.

just cant be bothered to go back and correct it.

In answer to the OP - yes!

hermykne, i do believe its down to a hormone, some kids dont get it til lwell after 7.

dd1 was dry at night at age 4, dd2 at age 2, dd3 heading the same way.

Dd is 6, dry in the day for over three years, still wet at night.

There is a hormone, Flame - it can kick in anytime between 18 months and seven years, and until that happens they aren't physically able to go through the night without wetting.

Ds2 went without nappies at night just after he'd gone dry during teh day so around 2.8. For a couple of months I did lift him onto the loo just before I went to bed - around 11ish - didn't have any wet beds that way.

anything from 3-6 is normal I think.

My DS1 was 3.5 - my twins are 4.5 and not showing signs (but I am going to try them when this packet of nappies runs out next week - if I am brave enough and the weather warms up so I can dry the washing !)

expect yes too soon but some are able to that young others not for several more years . It is a hormonal /development thing which imho you cannot rush.

ok so then do i put a pull up on andnot draw attention to it and just wait and see how it goes
or another option , would one lift at my bedtime? but h e mightnt do a wee at 11pm if itas happening at 5am, i suppose.

thanks for help.

misdee - i didnt mean anything to do with being codified , sometimes i type like that too but it s never commented on!

Nappies are usually cheaper so would n't bother with pull ups unless he insists(not as absorbent either). Never lifted and both were dry at 4. Is there any rush ?
