Lifting?
October 29th, 2009
My son has just turned five and still wears a pull-up every night, and only about once or twice a week does he wake up with it dry in the morning. Is it worth ‘lifting’ him when we go to bed, or will that just train him to wee at that time of night, rather than hold it all night? He’s a very heavy sleeper, which I think is why he’s still wet at night. He’s totally toilet-trained when awake!

Sarah is a good person to ask about lifting, as she is a stronger proponent of it than I am. It is still relatively early days and I would give it another month or two before starting to worry. Make sure that you’re stopping the liquids about an hour before he goes to bed. Make sure he is having a wee right before he nods off. And if you’d like then also walk him to the bathroom before you go to sleep yourself. But if lifting is what you want to try then Sarah has great tips on that. Good luck!
