[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When your pediatrician, urologist, etc. eventually does become “concerned” because your child reaches some age on a chart that magically declares them “late” on night training, the steps to remedy the situation will be no different than they are now, your child will just be older, and will have peed the bed longer. He/she is not going to just magically stop one day. Most of us whose kids no longer pee the bed DID train them. It didn’t “just happen.”[/quote]

Judgy mcJudgerson, you know nothing. I have 4 kids. 3 had zero issues staying dry at night with zero interventions from me by age 2.5-3. The fourth was a very deep sleeper who didn’t wake at night if he needed to pee until he was 9. We tried limiting liquids several hours before bed and waking him up to pee at midnight and he just wouldn’t wake. We tried at age 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and finally around his 9th birthday he started waking up on his own. So yes, they do usually “magically” wake up at a certain point and become able to do this. Very few kids are graduating from high school still wetting the bed. [/quote]

Without knowing what you “tried” at those ages, this doesn’t really mean anything. [/quote]

I literally said what I tried - which was what others here “recommended” - as did our doctors. Limiting liquids and taking him to pee at night. He wasn’t ready PHYSIOLOGICALLY. And that was ok and considered “normal”. It’s not lazy parenting. [/quote]

For how many weeks did you try this? Did you do it without diapers or pullups? Or were you just waiting for him to not pee in the pullup you put on him? You are obviously never going to agree you could have done it sooner, but you will never really know. Once I realized how long it took to train DD, I know I could have done it sooner. But when I tried the previous times, I just didn't give it long enough before quitting.

Or, much more likely, she was just finally ready for training to be effective. [/quote]

I never did any training before that. I was just waiting for them to "magically wake up dry" and that never happened with any of my kids. The summer before K we just decided to go cold turkey and no looking back. I'm very glad I didn't wait until 7/8/9 or for my pediatrician to all of a sudden be "concerned."[/quote]

Well, your previous post above says, "Once I realized how long it took to train DD, I know I could have done it sooner. But when I tried the previous times, I just didn't give it long enough before quitting." So it sounds like you did try some training before that.[/quote]
