Answers:
hiya
my little girl wears Nappy's at night she is also 4
we put her on huggies pink pull ups and got a new pink potty just for her bedroom we made her a night time chart and got her princes stickers and a box of pink tissue we told her the nappies where special knickers and she could only wear them at night time and left her to it we made it all sound like it was all just for her and within 1 week she was using it
i hope this helps
good luck :0)
If i knew what a nappy was..
Well apparently I was the same way when I was little. My mom took it from me and together we went to Grandma's house. My mom showed her giving it to Grandma and said that she wanted it at her house and I was too big for it..and that is where it stayed..
He should grow out of it. Perhaps you can make sure he goes to the bathroom before bed, and right when he wakes up. He's still pretty young to control his bladder fully.
If they can wake up with a dry diaper then it's time to put them in underwear.
Does he wet the nappy? If so then i would ask the doc about it!! Try limiting his drinks after dinner and make him go potty before he goes to sleep!! I hope this helps!!
try not to give him anything to drink for about an hour before bed time and make him go to the toilet before bed and try him without his nappy, he will have accidents, all kids do especially at night as they have to get used to waking when they need the toilet
He may not be ready yet. I know it is awful to hear but it might be true. But first you should rule out any medical problem preventing the whole potty training process to completion. Does he stay dry during naps? (if he takes them) If so, usually it means they are ready to potty train. Put him in whatever he wears during the day (if pull ups, etc) or in a nighttime type underwear (Good Nights, etc) so he doesn't rely on the diaper.
Also, no fluids a couple hours before bed and make sure he sits on the toilet before going to his bedroom. 1st thing in the morning is the potty too.
He may wet a few times but if he has a nighttime underwear on it won't absorb as fast as diapers and he will be more likely to wake up and learn to wake up in the future and use the toilet.
Good luck!
boys are harder to get out of nappies than girls. and often boys have problems with bed wetting more commonly than girls.
do not worry to much about this problem now, as long as he is out of nappies in the day time that is what matters most.
you have to have seven dry nappies in a row before you can say they are dry at night.
try taking him to the toilet as you are going to bed, making sure he has a wee, i know its not nice waking him up but just try and carry him to the toilet and sitting him on it, every night before you go to bed. this should help, good luck
I had to take my 6 year old to the doctor and her suggestion to me was they can drink all they want to until 3 o'clock and then no more until 6 o'clock where they are only aloud 4 ozs with there dinner and no more to drink not even a bed time drink. I swear it works when we did that my daughter never wet the bed now her body is use to things and she can drink as much as she wants whenever she wants. They also suggest no sodas, red dye like red koolaid, or choclate while you are doing this.
Hey dont worry my son is 5 years old and sometime still wet the bed i asked the doc he said boys find it hard to control their bladder it usually lasts till 7 years old if after that then go to the docs try not to giv him drinks before bed and take him to the toilet before going to sleep he'll be fine
this is quite normal, I know of a few kids who were potty trained during the day but still in a nappy at night. Encourage him to go to the toilet before you put him to bed, he will get there, kids do things in their own time =). Just make sure you praise him big time when he does stay dry all night and also dont make a big fuss if he doesnt. I started a reward chart for my girl and when she had 7 sitckers she got to choose a prize. Good luck.
well 1stly nothin wrong wif that if he aint ready just needs a little push stop drinks after 6 then take to the toilet if he has a drink b4 bed then get him up to go to the toilet 2-3 times put plastic sheets on 2 protect matress an voila it will work may hav a few accidents but it will only make him concious of the fact he aint werin a nappy worked with my daughter u got to persavere though if hes toilet trained in the day then hes ready 4 it at nite wif a bit of help from u took my 3 year old no time atall coz i got her up b4 i went to bed if they go a few times there no liquid left to pee they will go while there asleep she was trained just after she was 2 and it was far easier than i thought just followed my health visitors advice of gettin her up b4 i go to bed weve only had a handfull of accidents more so wen i was leain her to see if she would get up herself she does now and although its a pain doin it its worth it 4 NO MORE NAPPIES !! lol good luckooh perfect timmin mines up now lol
when i was potty training my eldest daughter i used to wake her up 3 times a night to go to the toilet she only wet the bed twice and then she started waking herself up to go
i also bought a plastic sheet that went over the mattress so there were no stains on the bed
hope this helps and good luck

Make sure he doesn't drink a lot before he goes to bed.
Another thing you can do is to break his sleeping pattern and wake him to make him go to the bathroom "just like what a big boy would do"
I dotn see nothing worng with this he is still learning so down worrie
Ask him to go to toilet before go to bed. then wake him up for toilet every 2-3 hours.
After 2 weeks, only wake him up every 3-4 hour
and next, wake up only once per night.
once he get use to the rountine, he will not need to wear nappy anymore.
Dont worry he'll outgrow it, and dont listen to people
when they tell you, well if it's a boy or A girl thing, I'am A
girl and I wet the bed till I was 8 yrs, all of our body's are
different.
i got my youngest potty trained for day, and still in diapers at night. Then I said to myself, why? I get them ready for bed, had them sit on the potty, then go to bed. Then 3 hours after they go to sleep, have them get up and sit on the potty, and then do this again 3 hours before they normally wake up. According to pediatrician, this is when nighttime accidents usually occur. I was doing this with twins which actually made it easier. Anyways keep this routine up. Leave a lighted passage to the bathroom and a bright night light in the bathroom, or leave the light on. Either your little man will start waking up on his own, or will start getting up in the morning to go potty. And when he wakes up dry, give him lots of praise. And if this doesn't work, sometimes parts of our bodies aren't fully developed and the brain won't sense these kinds of things at night. And there are meds for that, but at 4 yrs old that is a little young to determine if it is a medical issue.
