[quote=Anonymous]If she is waking up to pee, I would go with it and take the side of the crib down. We did the same for our 2.5 year old son, and there were some accidents, but it went smoothly enough. He had his own bathroom, and we kept a nightlight in case.

But what actually worked best for him was putting him to bed at 7pm and then taking him to the toilet at midnight. He would then be dry until morning. He never remembered being taken to the toilet. If I didn’t do this, he would wake up on his own at 1 or 2 am, and his aim was pretty atrocious. We stopped the midnight visits a few months after he turned 3. Interestingly, up until the age of 6, when he was extra tired, he would often wake up in different underwear. He said that he would pee a few drops, wake up, go to the bathroom, and change his underwear. It made me think that some kids are just sensitive to the sensation of urinating at night at an early age, just as other kids are not. So I would take advantage and go ahead and let your daughter ditch the diaper. And since this was our last kid, hallelujah, not having diapers in the house was amazing.[/quote]
