Night Training WHEN?

[3cherubs]

My DD who is 2.5yrs old is toliet trained during the day, she does not wear a nappy during her day sleep either.
WHEN should i start to Night Time train? hHr nappy has probably only had 1 or 2 wees done in it at night and sometimes she wakes to go to the toilet.

Should i leave her until she is older or do it now while she is in the TT groove...

How are you planning on teaching this to her?

A child will naturally become night-dry when their brain begins producing a hormone to concentrate the urine in the bladder, making them able to hold it until morning.

With some kids, this is at age 3, some kids age 5, some kids age 7. It's not a 'problem' until the child is at least 7 and hasn't had one dry night ever.

I went to Ngala to a toilet training session and they recommended night time toilet training shouldnt be done until the child wakes up with a dry nappy which might not even start till they are 3.5 to 4yrs old so it sounds to me like your child isnt really ready yet

I started putting Kenzie to bed without a nappy, after about 2 weeks of her nappy staying dry at night (she was 2 1/4yrs by the way). At first i put pullups on her, so it was easy for her to get up and go to the toilet if needed, but then we graduated to just knickers. She has only had one accident, and that was because she fell asleep before going to the toilet.

I would wait til your DD has a couple of weeks at least, of staying dry every night before trying it. Then it'll most likely mean she's ready. Good Luck!
