[quote=Anonymous]One consideration is whether you have any upcoming reasons why you might regret having gotten rid of the pull up. We waited a few extra months to eliminate them because we had a ton of travel planned and while I am fine dealing with nighttime accidents at home, I really did not want to worry about them at an AirBnB, hotel, or friend/family house. And I explained that to my DD -- "you're probably ready to go without the pull up, but we are going to wait until after we get back from these trips so that we can have your first few weeks wearing underwear to bed in your own bed." She was fine with it, it did not undermine her confidence at all. Plus during that travel, she continue to stay dry despite being on weird schedules and in unfamiliar locations with different bathroom set ups, so we knew she was REALLY ready.

Oh, and also in the midst of all that travel, she got a stomach bug one week while we were at home and definitely did not stay dry when she was sick (at night or during the day when she was resting -- she was really sick), and I was not only glad I had kept her in a pull up for that but also got to try out our waterproof mattress cover situation and realized the benefits of keeping that on when your kids are small, in case they get sick in bed. Now I tell people to do the mattress cover as soon as they move into a big kid bed and just leave it on for years because it's one less thing to have to deal with when you are caring for a sick kid who keeps throwing up.[/quote]
