Jake has been potty trained for about a year now but never makes it through the night with out wetting the bed. I have tried everything. I wash his sheets every morning its getting trite. Any ideas?

Your child first has to be somewhat interested. Then keep her in panties all day and give her lots of salty food so that she'll need to drink. About two hours before bedtime, restrict all of her fluids so she won't have anything to wet. Keeping her well hydrated during the day and in iundies will help her be more aware of when she is wetting. She should get it in about a week or so. I know it's frustrating, but keep at it! It's worked for my six kids that are old enough to be daytime potty trained.

how did you get him potty trained at 2?????? My 3 year old girl is a struggle every day!

She wets the bed at night too still and has had some good nights where she's dry and my husband and mom says the nights she wets might be due to being in the pool before bed and a bath too. She likes to drink the water. However he may not have a strong enough bladder to last through the night. At least he's already there during the day! Did he regress at all when your one year old arrived? I think that's what we're are dealing with. Well I probably won't be of much help but if you could answer my beginning question I would be greatful! Thank you

I have a six and four year old that have night time accidents 2 or 3 times a week. I have found that limiting evening drinks is helpful. Making them go to the bathroom RIGHT before bed and get them up to pee right before I go to bed helps too. My mom has suggested limiting milk intake, as some kids milk allergies present as bed wetting. I haven't tried this yet.
