When to stop pull ups at night

[Popsicle30]

My 4 year old DD has been potty trained and dry during the day for around 15 months. She’s continued to be wet during the night with the odd dry night.

Over the past 10 days she has been dry for half of them which is the most dry nights we’ve ever had in a close proximity.

Do I just continue to put a pull up on her or should I be encouraging knickers? I’m trying not to make a fuss of this in any way and although we’re both really happy she’s dry on a morning I don’t want to put any pressure on her so she doesn’t feel bad if it’s wet either.

How and when do I start to phase out the pull ups?

Many thanks in advance

Interested to hear advice on this too

It sounds like she's nearly there. We tried ditching the pull ups a few times with our four year old before she was ready. We tried and if she wet we put her back in them for a few weeks. She's at school and struggling with tiredness so we didn't want her being woken up wet several nights in a row.

Mine were the best part of 6 before they were dry at night, having been dry in the day since 3.5. If she's still getting wet nappies and is not showing signs of wanting to abandon pull-ups herself, keep her in them. Night dryness, even more so than day, is physiological.

We waited until DD was dry seven nights in a row, though for her the switch from wet every night to dry most nights took less than a month (she was 5, and had been dry in the day for over 2 years).

I admit it was partly laziness on my part - I didn't want to be changing beds in the middle of the night or doing that much laundry. I know I'd have got much more stressed with her if I'd been getting up repeatedly in the night. She does still have occasional accidents, but they are really rare (once every couple of months or so); that volume of laundry is manageable.

With my eldest I stopped when I realised I couldn't remember exactly when the last wet pull up was (probably around 3 weeks consistently dry). Before that she had been very inconsistent and I wasn't keen to be changing wet bedding every other night.
DD2 is currently dry 3 nights, wet a few nights, then dry a few more etc etc. I strongly suspect some of the wet ones are down to the laziness of waking, needing a wee, but CBA to get her bum out of bed to use the loo (DD1 did this too...). I expect we'll be using pull ups for another 6 months or so at this rate.

When you do go for it, invest in the layered mattress thing (if you don't do it already): mattress - waterproof sheet - sheet - waterproof sheet - sheet. Then at least when there are accidents it's much quicker to whip it off and load the (changed) child back into bed.
