Night Time Potty Training
 |
Night
time potty training is often handled after you have your
child using the potty during the daytime.
Just as with daytime potty training you need to follow a routine made
up of simple guidelines. |
Once your child has the
daytime potty training routine down, it's time to start working towards
staying dry during the night. This is a process that can happen quickly
for some children and more slowly for others. Don't worry and don't
push them if it is hard at first because that is a common problem.
Chances are that everyone in the family has been working hard at potty
training with your child, so it may be a good idea to take a break at
night.
At first, it helps for you to put your child in a diaper
or pull-up for the night-time so that there will not be any wet sheets
in the morning. You will have to be sure to encourage them that they
are doing great staying dry during the day and that you are so proud of
them and not to mention that they should not be self conscious of
wearing them. You will want to reassure them that it's okay to wear a
diaper or pull-up at night.
Here are some tips for night time potty
training if your child is having difficulty staying dry at
night.
You can limit the amount of fluid intake that your child has after 6:00
p.m.
You can have them go potty just before going to bed at night.
You
can wake them up when you go to bed and have them go potty again. Even
if your child is very tired, you can help them into the bathroom anyway.
Just
a few weeks of doing this can be the thing that gets your child on the
road to success, and they'll start getting through the whole night dry.
Sometimes
if your potty training child is having nightmares, it can be a sign
that they need to go potty. One of our children, who had been having a
hard time staying dry through the night dry, came walking in, crying
about the big fish that was after him. My husband said "Go to the
bathroom and then come back and talk with us." He did and then just
went back to bed. The bad dream was gone because he had taken care of
the problem. We had a good laugh in the morning.
The key to
helping
your child to potty train is standing with your child through
the training process. You do not want to make your child feel bad if he
wets the bed. When you walk through the steps and just keep moving
ahead. Have him help you change the bed, carry the linen to the laundry
room and put it in the washer.
This is a great way for you to
let your child know what it is like to do the laundry, Also have him
help you put new sheets on so he learns how to make the bed. You may
need to use some protection for your mattresses for a while like
plastic covers or rubber mats. Eventually, he will get the hang of it.
You should not hesitate to consult your child's doctor for advice and
support if you think there may be a physical problem that is the cause.
Otherwise, the best method of helping to ease night time training is to
be positive.
