Dry diaper overnight

I’m unsure how to make heads or tails of this. I read that kids could hold their pee up to 12 hours but typically go every two hours at three. My child does not go over overnight. Should I be concerned or is this okay? She has a pull-up and I told her it’s OK to have a wet diaper for bedtime. She is potty trained fully but it hasn’t been long and since I’m still brain storming about night time training it is overnight diapers for now. Our bathroom is far from the bedroom and there’s the whole not playing in the bathroom concern and what not 😩.

It's a great thing! Keep her in underwear at night. Then she'll be fully potty trained. My son was dry for around a month when we kept him in underwear. He's only had 2 accidents and it's been 2 months. He's now at the stage where he'll wake up and tell me when he has to go

@Rachel that’s great. Does he go back to bed easily? I’ll probably get those dim lights for the floor so she could go overnight eventually.

Sometimes, but he doesn't go to bed easily in the first place lol. He wakes me up because his bed is right next to our bed, we don't have a step stool for him, and I think he's scared of the dark. If you have all that, then I would show her what to do at night and encourage that every night before bed. Make sure she goes pee right before bedtime

@Rachel her bed is near mines too but I don’t trust her for a second to be in the bathroom alone at night lol.

Lol right! Just keep consistent with it! Don't back track. Oh, and if you're worried about her making a big mess in bed, layer her bedding

Overnight dry is great! My LG is pretty mischievous and sneaky but she does pretty good in the middle of the night not messing around. We’ve got her bed next to ours and she will (most of the time) get up when she has to pee, turn the bathroom light on, do her business in her little potty, wash her hands and then turn the light off and lay back down. We had a couple of accidents where she missed the potty when we had dim lights only, so now we have a string of timer lights to light her way at night but also encourage her to use that big light. We have her a straight path to the bathroom clear, and a step stool at the light and sink to make everything easy for her to use. We always hear her get up so we kind of keep a 2 minute time limit where we’ll say something after this time just in case she decides to linger. This way we can get her to move things along before she starts to think about being sneaky.

@Katie that sounds good. Maybe one day I can trust my child that much lol. We are moving we may do better with a different lay out….I find it helps to have her pee before bed.
