Help - my son won’t wake up at night to pee despite all attempts from me to train him. He is 5. Please keep in mind that during the day, I have to constantly remind him to pee otherwise if he watching tv he will pee himself. He always says he doesn’t need to use the bathroom but does. Is something wrong with him?

My son is almost 4 1/2 and is also experiencing some regression in that area. After doing really great the first 6 months of being potty trained he also doesn't want to stop playing or watching TV to go to the potty to pee (never has an accident w/poo). Our pediatrician told us to take him to sit on the potty and make him just "try" and count to 10, every hour-hour and a half. This initially worked, but hard to consistently maintain while working. I don't think anything is wrong with him. Apparently I heard potty training boys is a lot of three steps forward two steps back.

My oldest is 5.5, mostly for during the day although I usually have to remind him. But still wears diapers to bed, wakes up wet every morning and doesn't seem to care. The doctor says it's normal and some kids just take longer to figure out night time training.

You are giving me confort . My son could care less and what bothers me is that he will sleep through it with no issues 😫.

My daughter has regressed bc she hates washing her hands!!!

I’m a new mom but I just needed to say each of you are doing great! These are odd times for our little ones and us. We have to give ourselves and then a little more room. I’m certain it’s difficult to balance that with the worry that something is wrong or more serious treatment is needed. Still...it sounds like each of you are warriors whether you feel it or not.

I don't think anything is wrong with him. My daughter was the same way. We kept trying and having accidents and finally were so tired of changing her bedding that she started going to bed in Goodnites (like bedtime pullups) and we stopped even trying. Last week she told us she wanted to wear underwear to bed and has been dry since. They will train when they're ready. My daughter is the same as your son during the day, doesn't want to stop playing/whatever she's doing to potty, so we have to make her go. She was having accidents at school and not even caring, and now suddenly she's good. We didn't do anything that made a difference, besides letting her get there when she was ready. I know it's so easy to stress out about it, but it will happen when he's ready. Good luck mama!

My 6 year old still wears a pull up at night. He just cannot stay dry. My 4 year old doesn’t. I think night training is somewhat beyond their control and more a physician thing.

I think making it a fun experience be rather than a chore goes a long way. My son was potty be trained at 3 1/2 but kept peeing himself when he was too distracted watching TV or playing so I got him a little froggie urinal that went on the wall next to the toilet. (There's a tongue that spins when peed on) He Loved it! I also did stickers. As for nighttime, all kids are different, but I encouraged him to go with nighttime pull-ups which seemed to do the trick. Also cutting off liquids about an hour before bedtime helps 🙂
