Training your child to use the potty at night

Once you have got your child used to using the potty on their own during the day then you can start to work on the nightime potty training. This process can take a considerable amount of time and is a very slow affair.
Why is it our kids always want to get up at night and use the "potty." So we have to open our eyes (that feel that glue has shut them down) to drag Junior or Junioress to the toilet.

Here are some good tips to avoid the kiddies using the potty late at night

  • Take them to the potty just before bed time
  • Limit their fluid intake in the hours before bed time
  • When you go to bed yourself wake them up and take them to the bathroom.
Now that they have "pullups" you can use that to assist in the training, because they will have accidents. I found my son was harder to potty train then my daughter
