Night training 3 year old

[LCF2021]

DS has been potty trained for 4 months but still had nappy pants on at night. After a couple of weeks of waking with dry nappies we decided to night train. We took him for sleepy wees at 10pm and 3am for a few days. Then dropped the 10pm one and did 2am for 2 days, then 3am, then 4am and then nothing. He did really well and had no accidents for almost a week. He then regressed a bit and had a couple of wees in bed and even a poo (he’s a very deep sleeper!!). We re-introduced an 11pm toilet trip but when my husband went in to him at that time he’d done another poo, despite doing 2-3 a day.
I’m reluctant to reintroduce a nappy at night time as I worry he’ll regress further but I will if really necessary. Anyone else experienced this?

You can’t night train. They are either producing the hormone needed or they are not yet. It’s physiological.

Night time is hormonal. Put him back in a nappy as he sounds like he is nowhere near ready to go without one. It's really common to be trained during the day but not night time.

Night training isn’t a thing, it’s hormonal. My youngest was mostly dry at night by 18 months, my eldest wet the bed regularly until he was 8 and then it just stopped overnight, presumably as the hormone kicked in. Anything up to age 7/8ish is normal.

I've also read that if you're lifting them for a sleepy wee, it doesn't teach them to wake themselves if they need a wee, iyswim. Ds is 4, only just dry at night and has the very occasional accident when he's drunk a lot of water at bedtime. Mostly wakes himself for a wee now.

As others have said you can't might train. And you're exhausting yourself for no reason by getting up at 3am to make him go to the toilet.

DS potty trained just after he turned 3. About a month later he was consistently dry at night time so we gave it a go without pull ups at night and he continued to be dry. I think we have had 1 wee in bed in the past 18 months or so.

DD also potty trained just after she turned 3. Never had a dry pull up at night. She is nearly 6 and a couple of months ago she started waking with a dry pull up maybe 4 nights or so every week. She wanted to try to get rid of the pull ups, and has probably had 1 or 2 bed wetting incidents per week since. Having a bit more success now by ensuring she goes to the toilet straight after dinner, again before doing her teeth and one final time before bed.
