Probably been covered before, but how do you start night training?
My daughter is 4 and has been out of nappies for a year now, but is showing no signs of wanting to stop wearing her night time pull ups. I have tried lifting her when we go to bed, but she sleeps so deeply that I don't think she would wake up to go herself. She also doesn't want to stop wearing night nappies saying that she likes them and that her younger brother wears nappies so she will too (he's one, so not just arrived or anything).
Do we just go for it, and say no more nappies or is there some other way?

Thanks for any tips,

Does she have dry pull ups in the morning? I waited till they were dry in the morning and then put them to bed without them. I would stop lifting as well as that just trains them to pee in their sleep. It is something to do with a hormone that suppresses urine production during the night plus them being able to wake when they have a full bladder - until they can do both she will just wet the bed.

No, she still has wet pull ups in the mornings. Not had a dry pull up yet!
Maybe I just have to wait until she does, but it seems quite late as she is over 4 now and lots of her friends are out of nappies at night.
