[quote=Anonymous]I trained all 5 of mine for night soon after they were day trained at age 3-4. It took 2-6 weeks for them to stay dry throughout the night. When I started day training I moved to underwear under diaper. When ready for night train I took away the diaper. I would wake them if wet and tell them it’s ok you just had an accident, let’s go get cleaned up so it’s dry. Then we would pick out clean underwear, go wipe off, and go sit on toilet for a minute. Wash hands and get clean towel. Put dirty underwear in hamper and change the towel. Put towel in hamper and back to sleep. I would usually grab the hamper on the way out and start a load of wash. They learned to wake and use the bathroom themselves. It was fairly easy for all of them and me, I would check on them around 11 before bed and again around 3. They would have occasional accidents until age 5-7 but only a few times a year. They knew what to do and didn’t usually need to wake me but they always knew they could. I think it was easier because they were so young and we were in the potty training process already. I lost a little sleep but not much, it definitely beat the thought of diapers for 8 more years.
