Nighttime training advice needed please!

[MissisBoot]

DD is 3.8 and has been dry in the day since she was 2.3. The last month or so she has been dry throughout the night. Three weeks when I was away dd decided she didn't want to wear nappies anymore - she was fine - no accidents.

However, the last week has been a nightmare - she has been weeing in her bed at about 6am - she says that she wakes up just as she's doing a wee.

The problem is that she just will not go to the toilet last thing at night. I don't want it to become an issue because she desperately wants to get it right. I'm thinking about putting her back in nappies at night time and trying again in a month or so - I think it might just be that she's a bit tired at the moment with the excitement of xmas parties etc so just can't wake up in time.

I've tried not giving her a drink past 5pm but at bedtime she them says she's really thirsty and screams because she wants a drink.

Is that a terrible thing to do?

Putting her back in nappies that is.

The bladder actully needs a certain amount of fluid during the day to work efficiently at night. I wouldnt cut her drinks back tbh. I personally wouldnt put her back in nappies either I would just ride it out. It is possible that after xmas she will come good again.

just get a mattress protector, adn use the washing machien lots. it is usually the sort oif thing that sorts itself out

Yes - I have a mattress protector!

I just don't know if I can face another wet morning and dd is just getting upset with herself. I've never told her off about it - just told her not to worry and that she has to try and go to the toilet before bed every night - which she agrees with in the morning but then it all goes out of the window by bedtime.

in that case, stop asking her to go to the toitlet in themorning. just dont mention it in themorning.
if she does wet herself,then it is her responsibility to take thewet stuff downto the washingmachine, and jump in the shower. no discussion about it at all in the morning. at night time, gentle reminder to go ot toilet, and fresh bedding before she goes up to bed,

ignoring it should work better.

ermm stitch - the child in question isn't quite 4 yet - think you may be expecting a little too much to strip her bed and get herself in the shower

yes, thats true, i hadnt really noticed the childs age,just that the mother was stressed.
so i gave the advice that we were given, and that worked well with us. we gave up on pull ups around four anda half, fiveish, and then had to do the whole bed stripping thing. it made it much easier to remove the stress. at less than four, she can still be in pullups

MissisBoot, I agree with Stitch, try to ignore it all as much as you can, it will go away eventually!

at getting her to strip her bed - bless her she probably would.

Last night she asked to wear a nappy (pull-up one) went to the toilet before bed and then came in to ask for help going to the toilet in the morning. She had done a little wee in her nappy in the night - I do think she may have a small urine infection as she's had a few accidents in the day time too.

She's just had an accident and says it stings when she wees so am assuming she has got an infection. Problem solved.
