Any tips on how to get my 3 1/2 year old daughter to wake up over night? seems like she doesn't mind getting wet and just waits to get dry!!!

We thought at first that she doesn't want to get out of bed to go potty and/or taking advan of pull-ups, but i think our daughter is just a heavy sleeper. We've tested many times, but she sleeps through a wet bed and hard to wake her to go potty. She's 5 and the MD says wait until 7 yo to do anything. I try not to worry. But at age 3, don't force it or worry!!! Her bladder not be able be big enough and the connection between the brain & full bladder isn't there yet. Patience.

she had been wearing pullups for over a year as they were just easier than diapers. i had thought about going back, but i'm very worried that she'll just decide to keep them! my next "trick" is to try to tell her that the kids at school (she starts preschool tomorrow) wake up to go potty at night... so she's going to have to wake up too. i don't know. we'll see how it goes. we did get rid of her "lovey" this week though. not just a stuffed animal in her bed, but she like "ate" it! and its been gone since friday! she even gave it to another little baby cuz she didn't have one! i'm so proud of her! only asked for it friday, saturday and sunday. didn't even ask for it today! baby steps!

My recommendation is to put on the pull-ups for 3 months, then try again. Some children may wet their bed until age 5 or more. You may be wearing yourself out for nothing.
