Our son has been toilet trained for several years now, but we still use a pull up at night. Over the last year or so I would say that he is dry most nights, but we still have the fear of going commando! This is something me and daddy need to deal with and just go for it. We have been talking about it for a while, and it turned out the decision was made for us!
We were away to Center Parcs last weekend. When we got there and unpacked, I realised I forgot to pack pull ups! We went into the shop but they didn’t have anything big enough for him. So we went for it! Commando it is!
We made sure he didn’t drink anything too late and went to the toilet just before going to bed. And he woke up dry!!!! Night one was a success!!!!
The next couple of nights he woke up during the night and I took him to the toilet incase that’s why he was stirring. Back to bed then back to sleep and up in the morning dry 😁
Its now been a week and so far so good. I have bought extra sheets and mattress protectors just incase but we are going to keep going.
Every night before going to bed we talk to him about what to do if he needs the toilet.
I am so proud of him, and so proud of us for taking this next step – which we really should have done a year ago, but we got there in the end.
