[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Completely separate, at least for most kids. Some do it successfully at the same time as daytime training, others can’t do it for several years. [/quote]

Usually because parents choose not to put in the great amount of effort or consistency required for overnight training. Most blame it on kid not being ready, which on rare occasion there’s a true medical reason, but usually it’s just the parenting issue. No judgement, just my experience-based observation.[/quote]

Hahahaha, says mommy of 2-4 children. You're not a medical professional, you don't know jack shit. [/quote]
Yeah, it's cute that you think you know more than actual pediatricians.  Ours was clear that they are separate processes, because there needs to be a certain neurological development for a kid to stay dry when asleep.  Once that happens, a kid can be night trained.  Before then, you're just waking them up a lot to pee, which is not the same thing at all.  [/quote]

+1, my MIL told me she "night trained" my DH by waking him up between 11pm and midnight ever night for a year and a half to pee. That's not night training! That's disrupting your kids sleep for 18 months for no reason just so you can say your child night trained at 2 or whatever.

We allowed our DD to wear diapers at night until she was staying dry. We always encouraged her to go before bed and first thing in the morning, and once her body was capable of waking her up to pee, she'd just get up and go pee. We never actually "trained" her to wake up. We trained her how to use the potty during the day and eventually her body woke her up at night so that she could apply that training to nighttime as well. Before that, she slept deeply and simply did not wake up when she felt the urge to pee.[/quote]
