Night dryness

[littlebid]

My 4 year old DD has been daytime potty trained for almost 2 years. We got close to night trained just as she turned 3 but then her baby sister was born and she had a little regression. We’ve not been able to crack it since then and with a baby who doesn’t sleep through the night, it’s selfishly easier to have the big one in a pull up than add in changing sheets to an already disturbed night. We try every few months and are exhausted by night 3!
Is this normal? Should we just wait it out? All her friends are dry are night now...

Mine is 3.5 years old and been daytime dry for well over a year but not at night. I think she's just not physically capable of being dry. I spoke to a family member who is a GP and she said they won't investigate any medical issues until the child is 6 or 7!

Totally normal - it's governed by a different hormone, which in some doesn't kick in until later. Daytime and nighttime dryness are wholly separate things.

There's no point at all in getting stressed about it at this age - keep the pull-ups on for now, and just keep an eye out for them being dry in the mornings (which is what happened with one of my DC), and keep trying with a bare bum in bed for a couple of nights every few months (which is what happened with my other DC, who wasn't ready for ages but then did actually need to sense being out of a pull-up in order to be dry).

She'll get there - it's totally within the normal range.

my dd is 5 and still in pull ups. she wets them roughly 1 or 2 times a week, but never wakes to wee.

chill about it, I'm not planning on worrying til at least 6.

but when the times comes I've got a waterproof bed mat, it soft enough to go on top of the sheets, width of the bed square and you just whip it off instead of changing the lot.
