[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree that age of day training has relatively little to do with age of night training— but I tend to believe that method has *some* effect. My kid started waking up dry in the morning at least occasionally at 3 months old, more than half the time by 6-8 months, and always by 15 months. Hard to believe that had nothing at all to do with the fact that she wore cotton diapers and we took her to the potty every time she woke up, from close to birth. Definitely anecdote, but it kind of defies belief to think that absorbent disposable diapers have nothing to do with the increasing lateness of night training (on average). [/quote]

You're wrong about your diapering method mattering for nighttime dryness.

You're also wrong about the prevalence of bedwetting growing. What's changed is not the percent of kids who still wet at night but the willingness to admit it. Bedwetting used to be viewed as deeply shameful. Kids who did it were usually punished, even spanked. Parents typically did not reveal that their kids were bedwetters. Thankfully, things have changed. [/quote]
