Toilet Training/Nappies at night

Our nearly 3 year old is toilet trained during the day, doesn't wear a nappy when he has a nap but we put a nappy on him at night time. Can't remember when he last had a wet nappy during the night but we keep putting one on him.     How long did you use nappies at night time when they were ok during the day???

we haven't yet tried paris without nappies when she sleeps - for a while there she had a dry nappy all the time after naps and overnight, and we seriously considered it, but now she is back to being wet when she wakes.

There was something i read about if they drink alot during the day, it teaches their bladder to hold on longer because it is used to being full. it kinda makes sense, as when paris was dry overnight we were amazed because she was just drinking so much! but with her being at daycare alot of the time now i think she forgets to ask for a drink.. and the nappies have been wet when she wakes again.. i dunno, may be coincidence.

anyway, i remember my mum used to get my little sister up just before she went to bed, and put her on the toilet. after a while my sister would wake up herself and go at that time - it kinda trained her to do that.

good luck.

yeah we have found that too - we can get away with only buying one large pack for Paris, instead of the 4 packs we buy for Ayja

That makes sense about the whole bladder control thing, when we were in aussie kobe was drinking heaps cos it was so hot but was dry at night, even in just giggles, when we got back here and he doesnt drink so much he is wetting every night right thru the sheets aswell.

I had a baby brain moment last week and put Maya to bed in knickers (long story - I had bathed her at a friends place coz we were visiting and got home and put her straight to bed but forgot to put a nappy on her). She woke at 5am crying and told me I'm a "silly Mama, I need a nappy on to go to sleep. She was soaked So definitely not ready for knickers at night yet...

On the up side, I bought a great plastic underlay on Trade Me (new) which covers her whole bed and meant the mattress was dry. I haven't seen the single bed size ones in shops, so had been using a cot size one until recently.
