We have been trying to night time potty train our 4 year old for over 6 months and it is still a nightly fail. She’s perfectly fine during the day but nap time and bedtime she is not. We’re hesitant to revert to a pull-up at this point. We wake her up at midnight every night to pee, if she goes, there’s a better chance (not always certain) and if she doesn’t go, there’s 0% change. What should we do? Any thoughts?

No advice except to maybe try asking in the parents at work bowl.

Sorry why is this posted in an nyc bowl and not one for parents? How many people in this bowl do you think are parents?

A1, there’s a million places to post my question and this one’s a perfectly valid option. You can scroll past too. How are you handling the snowstorm and do you know if the trains are running well today? When you’re a parent you’ll understand that this little shit you lowlifes are complaining about do not matter. Oh woe is me someone sent an email under the wrong subject life. Stfu. Let the parents that may have a response here as they’re scrolling through and looking for pics of the statue of liberty respond if they want.

Just stop trying. Kid bodies are just not made for nighttime potty training. An adult body has a bigger bladder and releases specific hormones that tell your body to produce less urine at night.

Kid bladders are smaller obviously and they don’t start having that hormone shift that tells the body to produce less urine until 5-7 yo.

Just let them eventually stop wetting at night on their own. Then remove the pull up once they’ve already stopped.

Let ‘em do their thing. They probably feel bad about it and would change if they could do it.

Honestly, talk to your pediatrician for tips and potential sleep studies. Taper back drinking past certain times, put a little potty next to their bed, and dress them in wicking fabrics that don’t get cold when wet.

Similar situation and I gave up and went back to the pull up. For context my daughter is turning 5 in march. She only has issues at night.

Oh no!! Frustrating :((( hope this gets better

Following because my kid just turned 3 and was somehow amazingly easily potty trained the second go, but I know nothing about night training. Most naps he’s dry, many nights he’s dry but some super wet.

I remember my brother had this buzzing thing growing up that would wake him up to pee, no idea what the technology was or if it is entirely too early at age 4 to use (he was like 9 and had sexual trauma in the end so it was much more pressing). For now my son is still in a pull-up for night and I was told by a bunch of people that they did that til about age 6 🤷🏻‍♀️

I agree, I think the machine is for older kids. But have you been hearing that kids need to be night trained at age 4? My network says that’s very young.
