Nighttime nappies

Does anyone have any tips for getting my little boy out of nappies at bed time? We had a good while where he was in pants and then all of a sudden he's back in nappies because he was having accidents every night! I couldn't cope with the washing. I'm due in May and wondered if it could be linked to this? I'm not so worried about nappies at night time but any tips would be welcome to get him back out of them! TIA

We didn’t rush or stress over it firstly which can make it harder x We did no fluids from a certain time (like after dinner/6pm) and a sticker chart- sticker for going for a wee before bed and a sticker every time she woke with a dry nappy in the morning. When the nappy was dry for a week in a row we stopped it and she just got it straight away but remember all kiddos are different 🫶🏼

Unfortunately this isn’t something you can teach its hormonal, you can try the usual wee before bed, no drinks after a certain time unless he is thirsty but can’t guarantee it will work my lg will have an accident once every 2-3 weeks x

If you think it could be linked to the pregnancy then chances are he'll still regress when the new baby comes even if you somehow fix it now so honestly I wouldn't push it if it was me. It's a hormonal change that allows them to be dry at night - my just turned 5 year old still uses pull ups and they're absolutely soaked every morning. I'd let him keep his pull ups and just keep the conversation going that "one day your body will be ready again to not need these at night, you can let me know if you want to try again one night". You don't want extra bed washing with a newborn!

Interested in the responses to this. My daughter is still in night nappies, we have only very rarely had periods of a couple of days with a dry nappy then she goes back to wetting. She's the only one in our baby group who isn't dry yet, and she's getting upset about it 😢 We've tried waking her in the night but it's still hit and miss. I understand it's apparently hormonal but she's almost 4.5 yo...

I talked to my daughter about it and she agreed she was ready. I made sure she had a wee before she went to bed and then I used to take her for another wee before I went to bed. If she woke up in the night for any reason, I would take her for another wee. Good luck

My daughter turned 5 in March and it just now being dry at night and actually waking up during the night for a wee. She is still in pull ups though. Please don’t rush him. Let him do it in his own time. It’s all hormonal, not trained!! We do wee before bed, I take her again when I go to bed and whenever she wakes in the night.
