	I have a four year old daughter, latley she has been wetting herself alot. So, I decided to put her back in pull- ups at all times. When I see a dry pull- up from her, then I can put her back in "big girl panties".

	I recently started having the same problem with my son. I found that he went weeks with out a accedent. Then all the sudden he was having them left and right. I found that I would take him to the bathroom every half hour. And I would make him sit weather or not he had to go. I would also give him his last drink about an hour before bed and make him go right before he laid down. I still had a few accedents. But much less then before. And once he got up in the morning he was set right on the potty. Even if he had gone over night. After about a week and a half of doing that now it is just his natural routen. And we have been accedent free for almost 3 weeks.

	1. His bladder may be getting bigger and he's not recognizing that he is so full until it's too late. If this is still a problem, try getting him to the bathroom well before he's about to overflow. 2. It's nearly impossible to night train a heavy sleeper. This should get better with time; about 15% of 5 year olds wet the bed at night but only 3% of 12 year olds. If it's really a problem for the family, try waking him up after he's been asleep for a couple hours and having him go to the bathroom. Otherwise, keep using the diapers/pull-ups until he outgrows this.

Yet more potty training issues

Jun 29, 2007 4:29 AM


	My son turned 4 years old in May. He has been day toilet trained since January when he was 3 1/2 years old. However, we have recently been experiencing a few issues: 1. Lately he's been wetting his pants. Sometimes he just can't make it to the bathroom in time, other times he makes it to the bathroom but can't unzip his pants in time. Why after so many months of being day toilet trained does he suddenly start wetting again (4-5x. per week) 2. How do you night train? Sometimes he wakes up dry, sometimes not. I actually ran out of diapers a few nights ago and so he's been wearing regular underwear to bed. 2 nights wet, 1 night dry. Sometimes he'll wake up and ask to use the bathroom, other times he'll wet unconsciously because he is a heavy sleeper. Even though most of the time he wakes up with a wet diaper and dry pants and sheets, this is the exact reason why he still wears diapers at night. Any suggestions. Oh yeah... and is it easier to train the second child than the first. Thanks
