Do I go for no nappies at night?

My DD is 2.6 this week and we starting potty training in early January and baring 2 accidents when she was poorly she has been dry since the first week of training, even managed 2 flights this weekend in pants so I am really proud of her.

We were putting her in pull up's at nap time and at night but have dropped them for naps in the last 2 weeks as she was consistently dry even on 3 hr naps.

DD unexpectedly asked to go to bed early two nights ago and usually I would change her from her pants to a pull up but I completely forgot and just put her to bed, it was only 11.5 hrs later that i discovered she was still in pants and completely dry. Last night i put her in a pull up and she woke me in the night to ask to go for a wee and her nappy was dry in the morning.

So, my long winded question is do i stop using the pull up's at night or just leave her until she is more consistent. I'm not bothered either way and am happy for her to wear nappies at night but I don't want to miss an opportunity?

I would and did with my Dd in the last 6 months. She's had one accident but as I'd put a bed pad on under her sheet, it was just the bedding that got wet.
With Ds, he was younger and I gave him a further 6 months before discarding night nappies...and I don't even know why I left him in them for that long.

No advice but going through the same here - have decided if he's dry for 2 weeks over night (or mostly) then will shift to pasnts - dont want do itr too soon and risk knocking him back/increasing my wasing 10 fold

No idea whether this is the right way to go about it or not so will watch with interest

Have decided to do the same as geodie and see if she is dry for a bit longer and then go for it. Last night she did wake me up at 12.50 and said she needed to go for a poo and I took her to her potty and she did a poo and a wee. Not sure if her pull up was still dry this morning as i left for work before she was up so will check with DH later.
