I have my 2 1/2 year old son fully potty trained throughout the day, and even at nap time, but can't seem to get this nighttime training down. I honestly don't know where to start. He stays dry for his 2-3 hour naps, but always wakes up in the morning with a wet diaper, even when we cut drinks early in the night. Any tips on how to do this? Or is this something he will learn on his own eventually?

I never really night trained either of my kids. I just kept putting a pull up on them and only stopped when I noticed that they hadn't had a wet pull up for a period of 3 weeks or so. It will come naturally. It's not something you can really train them to do.

My son's pediatrician told us that it's not really a concern until children (boys especially) are 10 years old. My son was completely day-time potty trained by the time he was 2, but at 4.5 years old he still sleeps in a pull-up. We don't make a big deal about it.
One thing you could try is to let him sleep in underwear for a few nights to see when he's peeing. My son wets his bed in the middle of the night, but sleeps right through it. So if he's not in a pull-up, he'll still sleep all night, but just wakes up smelling like pee. We decided based on a few "tries" that he just sleeps so soundly that he doesn't wake up when he pees. I feel no need to disrupt his sleep, so the pull-up (for now) is our solution.
Good luck!
