[quote=Anonymous]Night wetting is down to a couple of things, yes, including hormones and bladder size for *some kids*, but please don't take it to the extreme! Don't look at all the posts saying it's perfectly fine if your kid is still night wetting at age 5 or 6 and think that it's therefore alarming or impossible to stop before 2. It's not.

While biology is a a strong factor for some kids, some people in DCUM INSIST that you ABSOLUTELY CANNOT NIGHT TRAIN and IT'S ALL BIOLOGY and that just doesn't have any basis in fact as a general statement.

We started taking my kid to the potty upon waking when she was a newborn-- no pressure, just forming a habit (common in most of the world and throughout history)-- and she started waking up dry at 3-4 months, majority of the time by 6 months and always dry... I can't remember, but it was before she was fully day trained at 15 months.

I wouldn't universalize my experience, but we used cloth and she had clearly formed this habit without having to "think" about it. This would definitely not work for 100% of kids, but it worked for well more than half of kids for most of human history-- which I think tells us that it's not all down to biology and/or that biology is complex and can be influenced.
