Night toilet training Isabel
Been trying to toilet train Isabel at night for a while. Not very successful, wetting the bed many times. Although I have the mattress pads, still a chore at night.
I quit 2 weeks ago, thinking that she wasn’t really ready. I asked her to use the leftover diapers. After 1 week wetting herself, she suddenly shows improvement again.
One night, I heard her crying in her room. Thinking that she probably fell on the floor, I went in and surprisingly found her standing in front of the toilet crying.
Well, apparently she took out the diaper herself, used the toilet all by herself. But stuck with the door and hurt her feet slightly.
Following that, we ran out of diapers already, so I took out the Cloth Diapers which I had kept for a while.
SHE REFUSED TO USE THAT CLOTH DIAPER!!!
She said, they are too thick! LOL!
So, I told her, if she doesn’t want to use the diaper, she cannot wet her bed. If she wet her bed, she has to use the CD. She agreed.
From then on, 5 days already, NO WETTING!
I hope this is permanent. Too many rounds already. So many times I reported here in this blog, that I have successfully trained her, but then it went back to wetting again. Hahahaha! No confidence now. :p
Ryan is 4 years old and I gave up already. Each time Ryan protests, I give in and allow him to go to bed without his diapers, thinking that he is ready. Within 1 hour, I go in and check and the mattress is wet!!!
I am thinking when he stops, he stops la, else Drypers is very happy I am still buying them!
BusyBee: LOL! Ya! The issue is really that the child is the one who refused to use the diaper. LOL! I think I also fail on other parts, like I didn’t stop her from drinking too much water before bed also plays a part. This Isabel har… terbalik from others. During the day she doesn’t want water, and then before bed only drinks a lot. Actually not good, coz it affects her sleep as well. I really need to correct this… :p
