you could try moving to pull down pant type nappies- make sure they use the toilet before bed- but to be honest as the previous poster said, boys can change a lot between 3.5 and 4.5 ,i really tried with my son as no 2 was on the way but actually it was so stressful pushing it i gave up and when he was 4- 4.5 it sorted it self out.

My son is 4 years 1 month and still in pullups at night - in the mornings he is very wet. We have tried leaving a potty in his room, nightlight in the hall so he can use the toilet etc. but it doesn't seem to help - it seems most of it is done while he's asleep which makes me realise he's just not ready.


Only problem is that his sister (2.5) is dry at night, and he's old enough to realise it, which I think is putting pressure on him (even though we're not at all).


Girls are much easier than boys!

My son is also 3 1/2 and to be honest I'm just leaving him until his nappy is dry at night (some mornings it's drenched and others it's definitely a very recent wee)!!! He does it in his sleep so i'm of the opinion that i'd much prefer him to stay sleeping and therefore still wear a nappy than waking up to go to the loo. I think maybe come 4 1/2 (i'd be interested to hear from parents of sons) I might re-think if it's still wet.

Wait til he's ready - it took a whole year between getting rid of nappies in the daytime until we got rid of them at night. When we realised that he was staying dry all night then just weeing when he woke up, we started the whole reward chart thing ("if your nappy is dry in the morning you get a sticker" type thing - though we also backed it up to start with with a chocolate button after breakfast!! >:D<)

My boy always had a very wet nappy in the morning, but one day age about 3 - 3.5 insisted he didn't want to wear it at night. I was v sceptical (to say the least) but put a potty next to the bed and a mattress protector on and went for it. Not one wet bed. Whereas I thought he had been weeing in his sleep, in fact I think he must have been doing it in the morning, but not bothering to get out of bed? (and frankly if I was cosy in bed and had pullups on, I don't think I would bother either lol).


Maybe just give it a try when he asks? No point stressing, one wet nappy at night doesn't matter - much less hassle than stipping off a bed at 2am.

It will happen eventually. My eldest son was over 5 before being dry at night.

We did lifting for quite a while - well my husband did as he was way too heavy for me to lift any more. Would not recommend lifting - just sharing our experience.

On the plus side youngest son was dry at under 3. So there really is no way of telling - they just do it when they are ready.


Like the other posters say though - try and limit drinks from tea time onwards. The always have a very last wee after stories and before bedtime songs!

    • Is this a popular event? If great demand for this sort of event on such a small space then so be it. It is just with Peckham Common so very close by just wondering why this is considered a preferable venue for this kind of thing?
    • Another recommendation for Jason who is brilliant all-round. He plastered our rooms and hallways (some walls were blown and needed re-boarding), replaced two ceilings and over-boarded one. From the start he was always communicative, happy to pop by to assess first, and transparent about the various options and their associated costs. He worked thoroughly, going above and beyond to make sure every job was finished to a high standard and is very fairly priced, particularly considering the hours he puts in. We’re so pleased with the results of our flat and have already recommended him unreservedly to others. Also helps that he is just a sound guy who’s really easy to chat to!
    • Well let’s put it this way - certainly alot more alert when I am in town than I use to be . Don’t feel unsafe just a lot more cautious and aware of my surroundings.  Tend to avoid walking anywhere in town as in London or Dulwich etc when it gets dark. Personal choice and certainly more people muttering or talking to themselves than before. Witnessed road rage years ago on Ladbrook Grove in broad daylight - memory still haunts me!!
