Night time wetting after being dry

[RebelGeek76]

DD is 4y 2m and we successfully stopped using pull ups at night shortly after her 4th birthday as she had been dry most mornings. She'd been dry for 4 weeks after stopping which was a lot better than I expected so we thought we'd cracked it. However she had 2 accidents whilst on holiday 2 weeks ago but I put that down to drinking more and change of routine so was hoping would be OK once we got home (admittedly 1 night I forgot to remind her to wee before bed. She had 3 more accidents the first week we were back and then 2 more this week. She finished nursery last week and starts school Wednesday so wondering whether the upcoming changes may be a factor.

DH thinks we should put her back in pull ups again but I'm in 2 minds whether to as this could be a step backwards. She doesn't seem to drink a lot during the day so wonder whether we should be encouraging her to drink more to help her bladder stretch so that she can hold more for longer which might help with night time?

Anyone experienced similar and can offer words of wisdom?

Hi there, no words of wisdom as I'm looking for advice for similar circs, my dd turned 3 in august and was fully potty trained day and night for about 6 months. She has had bare minimum accidents since being out of nappies but since starting nursery she is wetting most nights, I'm trying to lift her but despite trying all different times I'm sometimes missing it and she is already wet, or I lift her and then she wets in the early hours anyway. We also coincidentally had a holiday the weeks after she started nursery and she was wetting there too.
I'm really not wanting to go back to pull ups for bed as I don't want her to feel like she is being punished for it but the constant washing is killing me when i have another baby and work as well. What do we do? Also worried as it's coming to winter and I don't want her laying in a cold wet bed either 🫠

Just posted something similar so no advice as my nearly 4.5 year old has been reliably dry at night without nappies for about 8 months, with the very occasional accident. Since starting school he’s having massive accidents in bed 4-5 times a week and nothing seems to help 😭

It's so frustrating isn't it! We had 7 dry night in a row no was so happy as I thought we'd cracked it but then we've had another couple of wet nights! So I still have no answers and no advice!

@BabyB19 @Teaandbiscuits16 thanks for your responses, was beginning to think we were the only ones dealing with this. She was doing so well before the wetting started but I've ended up back in pull ups for about 3 weeks now as was getting fed up of washing! It's frustrating as feels like we've regressed a year in time as the pull ups are wet most mornings!

I think part of the problem is she's hardly drinking fluids at school during day (her water bottle comes back barely touched) so when she's home whatever she drinks is over-stimulating her bladder and even if she pees twice before bed, she'll still be wet! I did lifting for a week too but realised its pointless as it's only stopping the sheets getting wet and not helping her physiologically.

@RebelGeek76 @Teaandbiscuits16 definitely not alone, I thought the same I've been lifting but didn't seem to make a lot of difference she would still wet later in the night. She takes a drink to bed with her, she always has and always still woke to use to toilet. I've debated pull-ups too but I don't want to then train her to just see in them instead of getting up (no judgement we're all doing our best here) but I'm sick of the washing too. I've bought disposable pads instead which she hates sleeping on so I'm hoping that encourages her to get up as I've told her she doesn't have to have them once she is dry again 🤷🏽‍♀️ if anyone cracks it please let me know!

I debated so long about the pull ups in the hope that we wouldn't need to use them for long, but now I'm not so sure! She never wakes to go to toilet, even when I put potty in her room and I genuinely think she doesn't know she's doing it. Everything I've read suggests it's hormone related so maybe just need to give her a bit more time. It just baffles me that she was dry and something's changed.

If you don't want to switch back and to help with washing I'd recommend Hygge bed pads instead of the disposable ones as they are washable and soak up quite well...maybe too well as she'd happily sleep through after wetting!
