Night Time Training

[rubyslippers]

DS is 5.5 years and 2 weeks ago bit the bullet and took him out of night nappies to see what would happen

He had never woken with a dry nappy but we just decided to go with it

We lifted him at 10 ish and then encrouagement him to wake us if he needed the loo

First two nights was dry - woke for a wee

Then next night accident but then he was waking and going to the loo

Since then we have now we have had 5 nights of wet beds

He is wetting at around 5/6 am and not waking at all

Very unkeen to put him back into nappies, but he seems to have lost the urge/knack whatever ...

Any advice would be appreciated

Restrict drink for the hour or two before his bedtime?

Compensate by making sure he has plenty during the day.

This is very common, early morning bed wetting means that he is not producing enough of the hormone vasopressin which slows down diuresis overnight.
It will come with time. Enuresis clinics can prescribe a synthetic hormone but they usually only take referrals for over 7s.
Pampers bedmats under the sheets can help cut down on the laundry.

Thanks both

We are trying ot get him to drink more in the day but he has never been a big drinker so are struggling

that is interesting re the hormone - so maybe the first two dry nights were flukes?

We use pampers bed mats which protect the mattress but set sheets and PJs are piling up

Since posting this, he has been dry at night!
