I think you can teach her proper toilet training. It can be difficult, especially when you have to go dry your mattress all the time. It is also not ideal, because germs and dirt will surely accumulate in your beddings if that were to continue on to this day.<br /><br /><a href="http://emergencyfloodmasters.skyrock.com/3203832917-Fungal-Panic-Combatting-Molds-Caused-by-Water-Damage-in-Redondo-Beach.html" rel="nofollow">Gail Wallace</a><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11791220801405485431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5015030219140669520.post-3610837323133725782013-04-27T18:55:30.440+01:002013-04-27T18:55:30.440+01:00Its a hormone and some get it later then others an...Its a hormone and some get it later then others and normal runs in the family. Middle daughter is nearly 7 and only ever had one dry night in her life. Dry pretty quick in the day at 2 years so no problem there... Nothing you can do but wait. Doctors wont do anything until they are 7 anyway. So stop being hard on yourselves as its not lazy parenting and pretty common , its just nobody talks about it. Daughter number one was dry day and night in 2 weeks at 2 so not my parenting either. Dad was a bed wetter so she gets it from him ;)Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12674565669441075251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5015030219140669520.post-78735740961863122682013-04-25T00:15:17.959+01:002013-04-25T00:15:17.959+01:00My oldest is 4.5 and I think we've just cracke...My oldest is 4.5 and I think we've just cracked it. She went through potty training easily, but overnight has been slow. We haven't spoken to anyone about it because we assumed she'd great there on her own, but we've probably been inconsistent on the way! What appears to have worked for all of us is an agreement of a scale of night time underwear... standard is pull up nappies, if she keeps those dry for 10 nights she can wear pants, but if she wets the pull ups and makes no attempt to go to the toilet she wears a baby nappy the next night. We've done this cycle repeatedly for almost a year and we've had dry bed since Easter. kate davishttp://www.darktea.co.uk/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5015030219140669520.post-32284687770366715982013-04-21T21:23:26.313+01:002013-04-21T21:23:26.313+01:00My eldest was a nightmare and in the end, we had d...My eldest was a nightmare and in the end, we had days of crying about wanting her nappies, this was before we even attempted it at night time.

Ruby used to go to bed with a huge bottle of milk then later water every night so we've stopped that. Trouble is, even when she does wet, she doesn't seem to notice and it doesn't wake her up, so I feel I need to check on her before we go to bed if that makes sense?

Maxi was dry day and night at the same time. I was told by by lovely health visitor that being dry at night happened at different times for children as it was due to a hormone being release that helped them hold the urine in their bladder. When we were trying I bought a couple of special bed things, which were designed as incontinence sheets, so were extra padded and had a plastic lining. I used to make the bed up with them under a sheet and another set underneath so if he did, there was no stress for him or me.Jen Walshawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07374363403295342745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5015030219140669520.post-13891690986595321652013-04-15T19:20:38.855+01:002013-04-15T19:20:38.855+01:00We were told by the health visitor not to get them...We were told by the health visitor not to get them up when you go to bed and pop them on the loo.

Eventually I read that restricting liquids was not allowing the bladder to fill to its fullest and that deep sleep meant a half full bladder was not recognised. We went back to drink before bed and no toilet before and it did seem to improve it. Though it did happen for years. The Drynights possibly made her relax and not worry about it which may have added to the wet sheets, wish they had them when mine were younger!Jo Bryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16469769961218586739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5015030219140669520.post-59466185318626765552013-04-15T16:51:29.910+01:002013-04-15T16:51:29.910+01:00Feeling your pain and my daughter is much older th...Feeling your pain and my daughter is much older than yours and still having problems. I think you are amazing for posting so honestly. <br />The ERIC website is good on such issues and also has products that might help.<br />Apparently restricting fluid is a bad thing not a good one which defies my sense of logic but apparently this is the case.<br />Well done you.
