Dry nights ?

Four year old is well into being potty trained since 2, but she still isn't dry through the night, I feel everyone keeps saying she should be by now - my own mum included with tips like wake her up and take her loo in the middle of the night

I really need my sleep with early starts for work, so wondered has anyone got tips for getting her to stay dry at night without needing to disturb her or my sleep!

Dry at night is hormonal. You can’t train it. Let them wear a pull up and carry on as normal. If anyone asks, either lie and say she is, or explain that night dryness isn’t trained

You can’t train night time dryness. She needs to be producing a hormone that wakes her up when she needs a wee.

It will happen but it varies with every child.

the gp won’t be worried till age 7.

Anyway we did have dry night using mums method but let's see if a one off
