Has anyone switched from pull ups back to regular diapers at night?

That's impossible! According to DCUM, NO child is EVER ready until their pull-up is dry every single night for weeks.

OP, wait until your DC is at least 7 years old.

LOL.. seriously... you should NEVER push your kid to do anything they aren't 100% ready for.

We did for our first because Pull-ups irritated her skin. I also thought that night training would be quick, but it was 2 years after she day trained. After she day trained, she insisted she wanted to wear underpants at night and we tried, but after two weeks of her wetting every night we put her back in diapers, making sure to explain to her that she was not a baby, that she wasn't having accidents, but that her body just wasn't ready to stay dry at night.

For my second, who is 2.5, she will actually keep her pullup dry and wake if she needs to use the bathroom, so I prefer the pullups because it's a pain to put a diaper back on a standing toddler. She is probably ready to night train but I am lazy and have not done it yet.

In a couple of weeks? Did you wash the sheets like every other day or something?

We had a similar issue and just went back to diapers for now. Reading your post, kind of makes me wonder if should just stick it out longer. Originally we were going to wait until there were more consistency in dry diapers in the mornings.

FWIW: I posted here a few months ago about my 2.5 y/o who was refusing diapers or pullups at night time. We started waking her to use the potty right before we went to bed, and that has worked well. She is usually dry overnight if we do that. As far as waking on her own, right now (at almost 3) she's in a weird middle stage where she gets really restless if she has to go, but doesn't fully wake up until it's too late.

We had three sheets that fit on the toddler bed. We'd change in the middle of the night. But we had accidents the first two nights. A break for about a week. Another accident. And I think maybe one more a couple days later, and that was it.

On a related note, before I started properly day training my toddler, he was in Pull Ups, but those started leaking frequently. I figured since I was constantly cleaning up leaks and messes anyway, I should just take away the Pull Ups and see what happens. It took less than a week and he got it. Also nighttrained at the same time, though I did not expect it and kept putting him in PullUps at bedtime for a while.

OP again I'm really not motivated for late night or early morning changing of sheets and blankets not including the additional laundry to wash. He likes to wear his Paw Patrol Pajama Top to bed. He doesn't wear the pajama bottoms because it over heats him so its really easy to change his diaper without waking him. For now I have no plans on changing routines. Yes he may be a little old for a diaper and then again maybe not because they still fit in his age range. I will say this there have been no leaks to clean up or extra laundry to do. I'm not going to set any unrealistic goals for night time potty training there is no competition or trophy to win.

No one said there's a competition or a trophy. I just made a suggestion for something else to try.
