Is 2y 4mo too early for nappy-free nights?

[ForcesSweetheart]

DD has been clean and dry thru the day for the last month or so, and for the last 2 weeks has been dry in the morning too. As soon as she wakes up, she gets up and does a wee in her potty chair (in her room) then gets back into bed til I go get her up. The last 2 nights I've put her to bed without a pull up and she's been dry, and done the same. Does this mean I can get rid of nappies altogether now, or am I setting her up for a fall? I'm thinking that if she does have a night-time accident it might set her confidence back as she's very much a perfectionist and almost OCD about being clean - damned if I know where she gets that from, I'm a slob! Hmm maybe it's a reaction to my slovenliness, anyway I digress. What dya think? Should I keep her in pull ups at night or celebrate the end of nappies?

If you have put her to bed for 2 nights without a nappy and she has been dry, then my advice would be don't go back! I would keep a supply of pull ups for overnight stays and holidays, when a wet bed would be a drama, but at home just make sure you have a waterproof sheet under her ordinary sheet and hope you have reached the promised land!

My DD1 was dry at night around her second birthday and my DD2 has only just become totally reliable aged 10! Just goes to show there is no right age.

It's different with every child, DD was dry by day and night at 22 months, DS is 3years 4months and still wears nappies to bed, he is wet every morning.

I'd stop sending her with nappies and just make sure you check her before you go to bed, DS will wet the bed and sleep in it til the next morning

My neice stopped at 20 months - My sis used the pampers bed pad things that go under the sheet in case of accidents - but there were not any.

I agree - pack in the nappies. Either way just make a decision and stick with it. IMO its the changing to one thing then the other then back again that confuses them more. Good luck.

no. My DD wore nappies until she was 2 and a bit but then stopped altogether - night and day - at exactly the same time. Don't know why - thats just how she did it. She has never once had an accident. So give it a go.

thanks folks - off to buy a waterproof sheet!

If you haven't already hit the shops, I recommend the fitted sheet type - waterproof and terry towelling on top and stretchy around the sides like a normal fitted sheet. A bit more expensive and take a while to dry (you might buy two, just in case!) but they don't move around, so you know they will be in the right place if an accident does happen. The small, flat things tend to end up scrunched up at the bottom of the bed, doing no good at all unless your DD lies perfectly still in bed all night!

Just updating in case it helps anyone potty training in future. Since these posts she's been nappy free day and night. There has been only one accident and that was when she was loaded with the cold and pretty poorly - and even then when I went into the room she told me "wee wee in bed, sposed ta wee wee in potty!", so I'm cautiously optimistic that for now nappies are completely behind us.
