2yo never dry overnight

Hello I was just wondering whether this was normal, my 2yo is in pull ups overnight and every morning the nappy is absolutely full of wee. It doesn’t leak, but it’s just so full it can’t be far off. I’m struggling to understand how he wees so much in the night, he was BF overnight up until last month so I previously put it down to that, but now he takes a little cup of water to bed and doesn’t even finish this in the night, but his nappies are still so so full in the morning. He didn’t even have a cup of milk before bed last night and it was still the same this morning.

We’re thinking of starting gentle potty training in September as he seems to be showing all the signs (in the day) however night time would just be pointless right now.

Also to add, he’s a happy healthy boy who drinks a normal amount and nappies seem normal in the day.

My 4 year old still does this, he still wears pull ups at night. He has a little sip of water or sometimes no water at all before bed and in the morning you’d think he’d guzzled 5 cups. Maybe he’s helping himself to a drink in the night 😄 but I doubt it. There’s no rhyme or reason to it, kids digestive systems don’t always make sense.

Pull ups or nappy pants?

Majority of people on here think it’s impossible a child is dry at night before age 5 or older. It is actually possible.

No, we think it’s perfectly normal if they are not dry by 5.
I had one dry at two and one dry at 13. I did nothing differently.

DS potty trained at 17 months but at 4 is still in a nappy at night. It’s normal.

@Cr22345678990 that's nonsense - literally nobody has said it's impossible for children under 5 to be night dry, just that it's within the normal range. In fact almost all the posters on the thread have children under 5 who were night dry. All my three were too - one at 2.5, the other two at 3.

None of them ever had to have liquid restrictions at any time and this is completely unnecessary unless you have an older child (over 7) still struggling to be dry at night.
