Mums' stories

Ask other mums- especially those with older children- your get a very varied response as to the age that their children were dry at night- and it varies from siblings too. If you are worried speak to your doctor or health visitor. There is a special clinic, to help children, who are late getting dry at night. My son finaly stopped at 12. My other children were dry at night at 3 years, but there was the occasional mishap.
Good luck,
Ps the lifting method is ok, they do go back to sleep- you just have to 'wake' them gently and they sort of sleep walk to the loo.

Hiya. Is your litle boy dry through the day then? My son is 3 now and only started being dry through the day at 2years 9months. We have yet to tackle him being dry at night and at the moment he still wears a nappy to bed. Our problem is that he likes a drink to go to bed with. I believe that 2 years old is still relatively young for a child to be dry at night. As far as I am aware health visitors dont expect children to be dry until nearly 4 so I dont think you have anything to worry about at the moment. I know that some poeple suggest "lifting" where I think you are meant to wake your child when you go to bed and get them to use the toilet so hopefully they dont wet the bed etc. This idea doesnt appeal to me much as like you my boy sleeps through the night and im worried that this will encourage him to wake and he may not go back to sleep.

Good luck with it all x
