My three year old daughter has been potty trained for quite some time now. However, she still cannot stay dry through the night. She even goes potty right before bed. We leave a night light in the hallway and the bathroom. I told that if she wakes up and has to go, she can.We have tried to go with the underwear , but she ends up wet. So she is still wearing diapers at night. How can we get her to learn to stay dry?

Dont let her drink any liquids after dinner time.
Have her try to go potty three or four times before bed time.
Worked like a charm for me.
Good luck.
potty train her
It must be somethinbg physical, like a weak bladder, Have her check out by the doctor.
This is going to depend on the child. Some children are not physically developed enough by 3 to have their urge wake them up in the night (it also depends on how they sleep, light/deep)
My first child potty trained at 2 and started going all night by 2 1/2. My second child potty trained at 2 1/2 and still can’t go all night at 4.
What I’m saying is that it’s not necessarily a learning thing, but can be a physical development thing.
cut out the amount that she drinks at a certain time of night. maybe before you go to sleep at night get her up to go potty.
her bladder might not be matured or her brain is not sending signals to wake her up to go to the bathroom. You should read up on this and ask your doctor
My son has been potty trained for 3 years and still doesn’t always wake up dry, they sleep seeper and they don’t wake up with the urge to potty liks adults do, it will happen with time, try to not let her have anything to drink for atleast one hour before bedtime and that shoudl help, remember not to yell at her some children have this problem up till 8 and 9 years old.
My daughter is also three. She goes to bed at about 9 or so. I work second shift, so I don’t get home until about 11:30pm. I always make sure I take her to the bathroom before I go to sleep. I just carry her in and sit her down on the toilet. She always goes, and she has not had an accident in a couple months. Try it. It’s worth a shot.
Have you tried putting her in pull ups on a night, this may help it did with my daughter when she was still wetting on a night and try not to give her a drink an hour before bed time, this also helped my daughter.
Wake her up and make her sit on the toliet every few hours. Or let her wear the overnigh pull-ups until she makes the transition.
It sounds to me like you are doing everything that you need to do with her. Sometimes it takes longer for some children. The only advice that I can give you as a parent of 4 children is to be prepared to wash sheets alot. I think if she understands the feeling of wet and doesn’t like it she may want to go potty in the middle of the night. Lots of patience is the only answer for now since you have tried everything else. Don’t get frustrated it will happen. Also bed bath and beyond or wal-mart does sell a fitted sheet to go over the mattress so no leaks will get through to protect it. It is not the crinkly loud stuff they had when we were kids it is a soft material that last a long time. I still use it on my childrens beds and my children are old enough now they don’t wet the bed, but accidents do happen.
It may be due to various reasons like worms,insecurity, urinary system not yet strong.
Do not give water or milk after 70clock at night. Make her visit the toilet before she goes to sleep.
Do not scold her when she wets the bed and tell her from tomorrow she will be grown up and she will be able to control and wake up any of the parents if necessary and that you will give her all the support as she herself would be embarrased and needs confidence and support.
You can give her Natrum Phos 3x bio chemic medicine to get rid of the worms and it is harmless as it is a salt which is already present in our system.
Best of luck!
Try not giving her anything to drink 2 or 3 hours before bed time. You can also try to wake her up several times at night to go potty. But at 3 years of age many children do not have the muscels to control the urge or wake up at night to get up and go potty. Try consulting her doctor and he/she will probably be able to help you out more.
My daughter was toilet trained through the day when she was about 2,and she was still in nappies at night time when she was 4 and a half.I think the easiest thing for you is to be patient it will come with time.offer treats or rewards,i tick a calendar if there are 5-7 ticks at the end of the week she gets a reward like the park or something.your daughter will still have accidents don’t yell at her.Cut down on drinks,if thirsty only a sip,and make sure she goes to the toilet before bed.If you wake up through the night then it is best to check on her to see if she needs to go.I don’t know if this will help but goodluck.
u have 2 cut off liquids at a certain hr…like 2 hrs b4 bedtime..and make sure she empties her bladder completly..
