file How to come off the night-time nappy...

I left my LG with a night nappy for about 4 months after she was potty trained. Every morning it was dry. Looking back , I was scared she would have an accident at night and I would need to clean up. Then one evening she fell asleep driving back from friends (only wearing a panty). I left her and in the morning, the bed was dry.

Personally, I wouldn't wake her at night (seeing that her nappy is dry in any case). I believe waking for a wee becomes a habit.

I can't sleep without waking once to go to the loo... every night... :(

If she is waking up dry, then she should be able to go without a nappy at night.

Both my boys just point blank refused to wear a nappy anymore at night, neither of them was really ready, or maybe I was not ready.

But because they still had wet nappies in the morning, I took them to the loo during the night, at first, twice. Once at about 21h00, and the second time around 23h30.

Brandon who is 5 wakes up himself if he needs to go (unless we have had a VERY busy day and he is exhausted), but I still take Liam (3) once, around 22h00. But we have only been night training Liam for about 2 months, and I am too scared to leave him the entire night, even tho I do think he is ready.

Also summer is here, so their little bodies absorb most of the liquid they consume during the day, so it is easier to night train them when it is so hot.

If you don't have a waterproof matress protector, get one and then see how it goes, leave her for a night or 2, see if she wets the bed, if she does then wake her, take her to the loo and pop her back in bed.

Does anyone have any advice for me? My little girl is completely potty trained during the day - with the odd oopsie every now and then! I still put her to bed with a nappy on, even though she wakes up almost EVERY morning with a dry nappy. I think it's more of security blanket for me!! If I start putting her to bed without a nappy - do I need to wake her up in the middle of the night to wee? She gets quite distressed when she does have an accident, and I don't want to ruin the whole process we've been through.
