[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you know there are a dozen accidents per night? Is he waking you up a dozen times to deal with it? That sounds exhausting.

One issue may be that he isn’t using the bathroom frequently enough during the daytime, so the muscles around his bladder are working very hard during the day and they relax at night. I am working on this with my 3yo, whose nighttime accidents seem to stop if we do more frequent potty breaks during the day.[/quote]

I told my DH that I wish Santa would bring a week of solid, good sleep for Christmas.  :lol:

He actually wears pull ups at night, but more often than not will wake up after he's peed in his sleep. He 100% refuses to even attempt to change his own pull up however, claims he [i]has[/i] to have DH or I help him.

Daytime he actually has been golden (pardon the pun!) for ages now. No accidents to speak of, for the most part--and he has no problem with holding it, for the most part. Nighttime...not so much though.[/quote]

Is he waking because his pull up is leaking? Pull ups are really intended for that sort of situation. If he's wetting himself that often in the night, I'd simply take a step back and buy him actual nighttime diapers. They are designed to pull wetness away from him better, so you can focus on letting him get a good nights sleep. At his age, I wouldn't be bothered that he's wetting in his sleep at all. [/quote]
