When did your child stop wearing pull-ups at night?

[PitterPatter3]

DS just turned 4 and still always wakes with a full pull-up. Am just trying to get an idea of when this might stop?

7 with eldest and current 6 year old still in pull ups. I think 6-7 is very normal, but it's not something people talk about because everyone assumes their child is later than others.

6 year old still has a wet pull up I'd say 75% of the time.

My daughter stopped at 4

8 for one and 5 for the other

Dd1 was dry at night as soon as she was dry in the day at 3. Dd2 was dry in the day at 2 but in pull ups at night until just after her 7th birthday.

My daughter was not far off being 5 I think (having been potty trained at 2 years 1 month) My son was out of them at 2 years 4 months, as soon as he was out of nappies in the day, which surprised us all.

DC1 was the same, DC2 looks to be heading the same way. They’re 6, and dry 99.9% of the time.

We can go 4 weeks being dry in the morning, but take off the pull-up and it’s a week of wet nights. It’s very frustrating from both ends, they’re desperate to get rid of them.

Between reception and Yr1 for eldest (just turned 5) and just before reception for DD2 (about 4.5)

It was like a switch with both... they just suddenly didn't need one anymore.

Definitely like a switch.. I did the same through the day, just waited until the switch clicked. No point stressimg before that

My daughter is four and stopped wearing pull ups at night probably about six months ago. She turns 5 next month. She’s only ever had two accidents at night- once when she was sick and once recently when she had had a lot to drink before bed.

We’ve been lucky. That being said, we’ve generally not had an easy time potty/toilet training in general. She didn’t take to it very easily and it’s been a lot of work.

Around three for both of them . one of them did have a couple of accidents due to a stressful period after school (deployment).

Dry during the day at 2.5 years, dry at night 3 years.

Night time wetting has alot to do with hormones though so if you become concerned about it a trip to your GP wouldn't be a miss.

I stopped putting them on her at 3 but they were dry every night for about 6 months, so she didn't need them from around 2.5

She only drinks water and milk though unless we're in a restaurant, I notice a lot of parents give their kids juice or squash, which is a diuretic so it makes you wee more sometime wonder if that is a contributing factor as to why some kids are later than others

7 for dc1 (boy, always been a v deep sleeper), 3 for dc2 (girl, always been a v light sleeper). Dc2 was dry for a while before we stopped.

13 for one and 2 for the other.

They're not at all concerned until 7 about night time dryness. It's a hormone that kicks in at any point.

6 for my older two children and my youngest was dry at night from day one of potty training. With my eldest we tried taking the nappy off around 4, almost 5, but she slept through wetting herself. Her nappies were still full in the morning when she was 6.5ish but she wanted to try again and turned out to be dry right away. If we’d waited for a dry nappy I’ve no idea how long it would have been, but she did turn out to be ready. So it’s worth giving it a try every so often. With my middle one it was clearer cut. We took the nappies off when about 60/70% of them were dry in the morning.

DS was 4.5 and halfway through reception - very common amongst his male friends.

DD was just turned 3.

Girls seem to be earlier than boys in my experience.

Between 4 and 6 depending on which child. They can't help it until a hormone switches on. Nothing you can do to change this.

First child age 6
Second child age 4

I can't remember precisely, but I think mine were dry in day before 2 and at night somewhere between 3 months and a year later. IIRC, night time dryness requires a hormone to be produced in sufficient quantity, and this happens across a wide age range for different children.
