Hi,

My boy is 5 yrs old and is still on diaper at night. Appreciate if any of you could advise how to 'wean' him out of wearing diaper at night i.e. being toilet trained for the night.

Thank you.

I have the toilet issue with my 20 month too.


I’m not home most of the time, so can’t monitor the toilet training. Now in CC, they are toilet training them slowly.

At home he can tell me he’s gonna make big biz. I tried put him on potty and toilet bowl, he’ll struggle to get off even after he agreed to it. Then he’ll go to a dark/isolated corner and concentrate, open his legs, bend his body to lean on bed/chair to pass motion.

He’s ok with potty before 1yo, maybe the potty too small for him now. Should i get a bigger potty to let him try?

How to get him to sit on toilet bowl? Any effective method to share? Now he’s so used to poo on diaper, how to change his habit before it’s too late?

For night toilet training, u must not give him any fluids 2 hours before bedtime. Then let him go toilet before he sleeps.

Thanks for your suggestion. The thing is, I normally give him a bottle (about 250ml) of milk before he sleeps (his bedtime is 9pm). I am concerned that he gets hungry at night.

I forced my girl to have her last milk by 8pm (her bedtime is 10pm). If she doesnt want it at 8pm then strictly no more milk for her after that. No problem with nite bed wetting after that. She was about 5+ then. Now she can wake up to wee even if she has drinks later than that.

Thanks. Do you have to wake her up in the middle of the night to wee during the training period? Someone I once spoke to, told me that she has to wake her son up every three hours which I think is disruptive to the child's as well as the care giver's sleep. BTW, when does your girl finish dinner? Mine takes at least one hour to finish his.

DS now 33 mths old, very on about pee pee, even wake me up 2 to 3 times a night (even though he is wearing diaper). Its the poo poo that I m having big problem with. He would poo in diaper or pants and wouldn't say that he did it. If you asked, he would even deny that he had poo and go hide in a corner. He likes sitting on the toilet bowl, but he just wouldn't poo in it. After like 30 to 45 mins on the seat, he would say nothing coming. Put on his diaper/pants, 5 mins later, would smell/see his u-know-what :x :stupid: .


He is in cc, his teachers there are tryng hard with the toilet training part too. Almost everyday, they would report about his poo \"accidents\" like during play time or craft time, he would be moving quietly to a corner and next thing, they would smell/see :shock: it. I feel so bad about them cleaning up after him :oops: . When talking to him, he would say \"must go toilet poo poo\", but when ask him why poo poo in pants/diaper, he would say\"i don't know\" :stupid: :x .

I guess just hv to be thick skin about it with the cc teachers.... and that he would grow out of it soon.

For kids who had just been toilet train and not on diapers during outings, what do you do when the kids need to relief themselves but the nearest toilet is like 5min walk (3min run) away??
