Ds was day potty trained successfully about a year and a half ago. It has ruined sleep. He is now 4. Before that he would sleep through the majority of the time. Now he generally wakes every night, with sleep throughs occasionally.
He has some dry nights but they seem to be getting rarer. He had them a lot when we first trained him and used to have at least 1 a week. A month or so ago he actually had three in a row. I think we may have missed crucial windows of opportunity to get him out of nappies at night time because everyone was telling us to keep using the nappies until he's reliably dry.
I think he wakes up either with the sensation of weeing, or needing a wee and then does it in his nappy. He also is often reluctant to take off his nappy in the morning and he admitted to deliberately weeing in it the other morning right after I'd suggested taking it off.
The Internet seems to say we should be getting him to drink more during the day to expand his bladder capacity. But how to do that? We offer drinks and he refuses. He's definitely dehydrated. But what can we do to make them more enticing other than just offer squash/juice all the time which is not good for him.
Anyone had a similar situation and got any answers? Should we actually look at taking the nappies away?
