Sorry for other untitled thread: night training, dd was dry but not anymore, what now?

DD (2.8..I think!!)has been out of nappies at night for 2-3 months, and after some wet mornings we started lifting her at 11pm (I did another thread on this)and that seemed to work. She's not an early waker, so she would go thru til 7,7:30 or later with no accidents.

However, the last three mornings she's woken at 6am, 6:30am wet, and I'm not sure what's changed or why, or what to do now.

She has been drinking more I think....we have had a bit of concern that she wasn't drinking enough, and she seems to be asking for drinks more now and drinking more of them, so maybe that's it.

Do I just wait and hope it's a short phase and her bladder will get stronger, and accept changing the bed every morning?...She wouldn't normally wake so early though ( I know this is not early by a lot of toddlers' standards, and we are lucky)and she'll be very tired.

Surely we shouldn't go back to nappies, although people on jujumaman's thread seemed to think you should leave them in nappies if not ready?

Or is the lifting confusing her and we need to teach her to wake herself to go to the loo in the night/early morning?

Sorry for long post...can't do anything now without mn input!!

More thoughts on this and to bump (or just to carry on the conversation with myself!): she's very good about NOT getting out of bed...she's only been out of her cot a short while and after a few nights of shenanigans, we had to come down very strictly with what supernanny calls "rapid return", and now I think she really thinks she can't get out of bed. So do we need to encourage her to be more independent and get out of bed for a wee? She's still in a grobag.

I don't think she's waking soon enough to realise though...

It is a tough one - each to their own. DS1 has been dry overnight for a week or so now - I think it is just because his latest fad is that he won't drink milk. I am still putting him in a nappy until he gets back in to milk before bed to see if he is still dry. Personally, I don't really see the rush to get them out of nappies of a night. He is potty trained of a day.
This is his second night in a bed (with no grobag) but I am using one of their zip in bedding sets. They seem fab!
Maybe, by the time he is 3 and a half even if he is still wet I would try him without a nappy anyway, but not before then.
