Should I also train at night?
Many parents wonder if they should wake their child at night. Good news: night training is usually not necessary.
In this section, you'll get exactly what you need to get started right away, step by step.
Focus on daytime first
During the day, children learn to recognize signals.
Why this works: daytime potty training is the foundation for nighttime.
Nighttime potty training develops naturally
Most children stay dry at night between the ages of 4 and 6.
Why this works: it's related to physical maturation.
No wake-up service
Waking children disrupts their sleep.
Why this works: being well-rested helps with learning better during the day.
Protect the bed
Use a mattress protector or double sheets.
Why this works: accidents are resolved quickly this way.
Don't make it a performance. A dry night is a developmental step, not an exercise.
