Night time potty training

My daughter is 4 and we are in the process of nighttime potty training. So far we have done the take her to the bathroom before she goes to bed and then again before we go to bed (10 or 11pm). We also limit fluid intake.
Thus far it has been a real hit or miss. She will be dry for a few nights in the row and then have two nights with accidents.
I refuse to stress about this (enough other things to stress about in life, aren't there?!?) but I wanted to see if there were any other hints and/or ideas.
Thanks!

My understanding is that nightime potty training is developmental and will come in its own time. Otherwise, waking up and taking her in the middle of the night is really all you can do.

I go through the same thing and have been for over a year when my son decided no more diapers of any kind. I find that kind of knowing when your child needs a 3rd time to go pee at night helps... it is difficult b/c you have to get up from your sleep but it easier than hearing your child cry to be changed and going through all that. Other than that until your daughter can recognize the feeling and wakes up from sleep herself it will be a guessing game to make sure she is woken up by you.
Good Luck and I hope there are more hints and such so I can learn too.
