Should you let your child wet the bed to teach them to stay dry?
Answer:
Is she sleeping in underwear? If she is, then she needs to be put back in diapers/pull ups. It's perfectly normal for her not to be able to hold it while she is sleeping. She'll get the hang of it soon though. Keep her in diapers during night time/nap time until she can wake up with a dry diaper.
I have a 3-year old daughter. She no longer wets her bed because we train her to take a leak before going to bed. And even if she's not going, we still persuade her to do so and explain to her that she might wet her bed if she doesn't.
This also happens if the child often drinks milk before or during bedtime. I still suggest you encourage and persuade her to take a leak right after drinking milk at anytime.
And let her wet her bed once or twice and then explain to her what and how it happened and how it should be avoided.
They do this on their own. Most children aren't completely potty trained until they are between 3 and 4 years old. I wouldn't let her wet the bed just because it will be too much work for you!
no you should try to take her to the bathroom before she goes to sleep
Unfortunately I wet the bed until I was 12. It's normally not something you can 'train' someone to do. I simply didn't wake up. I certainly wouldn't scold her for it. Maybe try waking her at night to go.
don't let her wet the bed. I suggest using pull ups, then if she keeps them dry make a huge deal about it. If you just let her get wet all the time, then her self esteme would be ruined. help her learn to stay dry by throwing a mini party everytime she comes up dry. I like the $ store for this reason. BOth of my girls have been 100% potty trained since they were 2 years. good luck and stick with it.
I did it with my son, I let him pee himself a few time, it sounds so mean, but he didn't like being wet (I did get up and remove his pants and took his sheets off) and now he doesn't wet the bed. Also reduce the intake of fluids an hour before going to sleep and have them go to the toilet before getting into bed.
No, pressure or shame can cause issues that are very difficult to solve. Be as laid back about the whole thing as you can and she will learn faster.
pull-ups durring naps and bed. my two 8 year olds have the same problem
Its normal for a child that age to still wet the bed. I suggest taking her to the bathroom before she lays down each time and put pullups on her but explain shes not being punished. When she wakes up take her to the bathroom again. When a young child sleeps it is just like a baby cant control their bathroom habits without a little help. Thats how she got potty trained when shes awake. Good luck with her.
No I recommend NOT doing this. It just shows her it is ok for her to do that and may lead to bed wetting for years to come. I suggest you put her in pullups at night time. Tell her she can wear underwear again if she goes 3 nights dry in a row. If she goes one night dry. Make sure you praise her. LIke BIG praise. Keep mentioning it randomly throughout the day. If she wets during the night make sure you tell her nice try and she will do better next time and she is still a big girl. Ensure she goes pee right when before she goes to bed and nap. Some would recommend (and we used this), that for 30-45 minutes before nap she not be allowed to drink. As she begins to show signs of night time control (like 2 weeks of dryness) start letting her have water closer to bed time and eventually she will be able to have water right before bed and be fine.
Good luck!
With my daughter she potty trained during the day easily. I kept her in pullups at night until she went 1 week without wetting the bed. She was 3 when she did though. But make sure she doesn't have my than a drink of water before bed. I told her she couldn't have her own cup after 7 (when she went to bed at 8). That way her bladder wasn't full at night.
I think it's perfectly normal to not be 100% potty trained at 2. Reduce her fluids before nap/bedtime and take her to the potty right before laying down. Put her back in diapers/pull ups until she stays dry at night. Make a big deal out of dry diapers when she wakes up. She'll get the hang of it before you know it. Don't rush her.
Put her in pullups she is still very young. Be thankful at 2 she is potty trained. She is doing great and needs to be praised for the great job she is doing.
I don't think thats a good idea. My son is going to the exact same thing and I would not let him sleep in pee and know it. I put him on pampers at night but if you want to have her on underwear at night wake her up at verious times in the night and take her to the bathroom. thats how I got my daughter to stop wetting the bed. they have to learn how to hold it when they are sleeping thats just my opinion good luck
Pullups at night
