I have a son aged 4 and although he is dry during the day and never has an accident, I still cannot get him out of nappies at night time. I have tried everything I can think off, he doesnt drink anything after 5.30 and goes to bed at 7.30, tried taking him to the toilet b4 I go to bed, but still has accidents, any surgestons??

I think it's normal for a while yet to be still wetting at night. The age they are dry varies from child to child.



I do know a family that used to wake their kids at night to take them to the toilet but personally that's not my cup of tea. Some kids just need a little more time for their bodies to mature.



My daughter (4 1/2) has just started to be dry enough at night to ditch the night time pull up. So we will see how she goes. Tonight is her first night without one.
