Help needed !! 3.5yo night wetting

My daughter is 3.5 and was potty trained last April - she just decided one day no more nappy and that was that, we still have some accidents but hardly any. The thing is I’ve attempted once before to do nights with no nappies and she totally refused - now she has a wee before bed every night and then pull up on - every night I go and chef if she’s gone to sleep 💤 she has taken off her pull up and then wets the bed- some nights before bed I give either a little water or milk. Not sure where to go from here , I’m trying not to be pushy but think maybe I need to intervine in a more tactful way. Any advice would be brill

You need to have a conversation about keeping the pull up on (or putting pants inside it, if she's more likely to go for that).
Night dryness is a hormone and happens when it's ready.

You can not 'train' for night time dryness - being wet at night is considered normal until about 7 yrs. however there are things that you can do to encourage it and I would work on getting her to keep on her pull up. To help with night time dryness you can encourage loads of drinking in the day, avoiding black currant squash and caffeine, avoiding drinks 1 hour before bed, and making sure she is happy to go to the toilet at night (e.g a nightlight on the landing). The charity ERIC also has great information on toileting issues.

Thanks you everyone for your advice. I’m still not having much success- pull ups defiantly leak and defiantly are expensive! But she she will not keep nappies on have tried going back a few times. Just going to concentrate on water at night and praising if dry night but very rare x

Could you try some onesie pyjamas that do up at the back so they're too hard for her to get off on her own? Does mean she won't be able to go to the loo on her own, but you could explain it is only temporary until she leaves her pull up on all night.
