Yes, it is new, so hopefully it will be short-lived. He dislikes pull-ups even more than diapers! He potty trained himself at 22 months because he hated wearing diapers so I simply told him that when he learned to go in the potty he didn’t have to wear diapers anymore. It took him 4 days to stay dry all day while awake! (I doubt my 18 month old daughter will be that easy though.) I do limit his fluid intake after dinner and make sure he uses the potty before bedtime. I might try the nighttime pass idea, he can go once after we put him to bed, and in the early morning I will just hope it doesn’t last! 🙂 Tanks, again!

@ Rhianna — Oh, man! This is so tough. On the one hand, you need sleep, but on the other hand, you hate to discourage progress and bladder-awareness. Let me ask – is this a new thing? If so, then there’s a decent chance he’ll outgrow it sooner or later. Another idea – what if you were to use a pull-up instead of a diaper? Would he be able to manage the potty trip on his own, without your help? Get up, do his thing, and get back into bed without you? If so, you may want to focus his efforts in that direction.

Hope this is helpful, Rhianna! Good luck to you – I’ve potty-trained 3 kids, so I know first-hand how hard this particular stage can be!

@gus&otto — yes and yes! We could absolutely work on helping you craft a bedtime routine that’s shorter, and that features less you. 😉 And yes, we can set up the plan so that it focuses on helping your daughter to gradually fall asleep on her own, without help from you. Sleeping through the night is a totally attainable and reasonable goal for an almost-three-year-old, and we can help you get there! You can see all the service packages here: https://www.babysleepsite.com/baby-toddler-sleep-consulting-services/ If you have questions about which package is best, you can chat with one of our customer service reps, or you can leave a message and a customer service will reply.

Thanks so much for commenting! And best of luck to you as you work through your daughter’s sleep challenges 🙂

He’s been potty trained during the day for a year, but now he is really wanting to not wear a diaper at night. And, this is all coming from him! I have no expectations for a 3 yr old to stay dry all night. He has been staying dry at nap time for a couple months now and he doesn’t wear a diaper for nap. I put a diaper on him at bedtime and he gets in bed, says good night, and is fine for about 30 min. Then he needs to use the potty, which he does independently. I go up, put the diaper back on, cover him, and leave. 30min to an hr later he does the same thing. Then it typically one more time between 4 and 5 am! He goes potty, at this point the diaper is wet so I put a dry one him and cover him up and leave. Then he sleeps til 7 am. I want to discourage the frequent bathroom trips, but don’t know that I’m comfortable telling him, no you can’t use the potty at night. Any ideas?

But bedtime is such a struggle since we stopped nursing nearly a year ago. She goes to bed pretty late and we have to sit with her in bed the entire time until she falls asleep.

I’m thinking her birthday gift to me could be this. Would your work help us find a way to shorten bedtime and help her go to sleep on her own? I’m not confident she’s well rested and if she sleeps through the night that would be a bonus!

Likewise — the idea of managing bedtime stalling with twins makes me want to curl up in the fetal position! I don’t know how moms of multiples do it – they all deserve superhero capes 😉

I just meant that each of our kids has had the biggest problems with stalling at age 3. The idea of twins at the stalling stage makes me shudder. 🙂
