I know there have been a lot of potty training questions asked but I am completely confused by my daughter. She was 'daytime' potty trained by her 2nd birthday and about 2 months later she was completely potty trained. She never had any accidence and never wet her bed for over 6 months. Then all of a sudden a couple of months ago she started coming out of her room in the middle of the night because she had gone pee. Now she pees her bed all the time (probably 5 out of 7 nights a week). I don't know what to do about this. I know she was potty trained young and it is normal to wet her bed at her age, but do I just ignore the fact that for over six months straight she never wet her bed? I just don't want to let her think it's okay to go backwards. Should I start putting her in pull-ups again (because I'm sick of washer her sheets all the time)?
Have you tried no liquids after 7 pm? That worked for my oldest daughter a little. We also saw our family doctor who wanted us to see a specialist because she was wetting the bed at 3 1/2 to 4 years old, but when I mentioned this to my chiropractor he stated he wanted to see her first. My chiropractor adjusted her back a few times and she stopped her bed wetting almost right away.
Is she possibly afraid to get up at night and go to the bathroom by herself?
Have you limited her fluids?
Could she have a urinary tract/bladder infection?
This is such a hard one cause I hear what you are saying.....Hm....what would I do? I might just put her back into a pull-up and hope she really doesn't like the way it feels, talk to her and see why she thinks it might be happening, but don't make a big deal of it, have her help clean it up, wash the sheets ect, Not much more I can think of. Good luck.
Try waking up twice a night and taking her to the bathroom. Make sure she wakes all the way up so that she knows she needs to get back in the habit. It will be a pain in the rump for you to have to get up, but set an alarm or something and get her up twice a night. After about a week, she should be on a schedule with doing that and she will get up on her own and go potty. I have found this to be successful, and I hope it helps you too. Good luck hun.
She may just be having a growth spurt and her bladder hasn't caught up yet. I would try to limit her liquids and maybe put her in the training pants that will absorb better than regular underpants, but not as much as pull ups so that she still knows she is wet. Also, they sell pads that just go under the kid that are soft on one side, and plastic on the other so that it won't get your sheets wet. Good Luck, I'm sure she'll grow out of it soon.

why is it not ok to go backwards?
we all have taken a few steps backwards in our lives and probably daily.. lol
so she may have to wear night pull ups for a while.. she's still really young,,she'll get it..
my thought would be to let her know it's ok that these accidetns are happening and that you will be there to help her and ask her if she wants to wear night time big girl pull ups for a while.. so she doesn't have to wake up wet.. and once she is dry for a while...(30 days again).. tell her she can go back to the undies at night at that time. i think if it's addressed as not a big deal.. and that going to pull ups isn't a big deal,, she won't feel embarrassed about it or ashamed. but i feel if a big deal is made of these things then they get a complex.
What ever you do, don't amke her feel like it is her fault. I am sure is isnt intentionally wetting the bed and I am sure it isn't fun for her either. I wouldn't go back to pull-ups, I would buy a set of rubber sheets and put those on. I would also suggest waking her up at least once in the middle of the night to get up and go and eliminate drinks after dinner. Hope this helps.
