Did you know that over 95% of boys and girls are potty trained by the age of four but 40% of parents say that their child between the ages of 4 and 6 still wets the bed at least once a week? Surprisingly, parents believe they can “train” their child out of nighttime bed wetting when in fact is simply is a stage that must be outgrown as your child learns to control their bladder.

I’ve struggled with this a lot with my 4 year old. My now 6 year old never had a problem with nighttime use of the potty and my 2 year old, shockingly, even wakes up in the middle of the night and comes into my room to tell me when he needs to use the bathroom. My 4 year old, though, hasn’t be able to recognize the signals from his body that he might need to get up in the middle of the night and bedwetting has been a struggle for us to try to find solutions too. The GoodNites have really helped as they are much more comfortable for my son and truly hold a ton. GoodNites are made for children ages 4-14 to specifically address the needs of children who are potty trained but experiencing bedwetting. They are a more absorbent youth pant that other training pants or diapers geared towards younger children so they can help keep your bed and child dry through the night. If your child is able to stay dry all day but sometimes has nighttime accidents, than your child is most likely experiencing bedwetting and no longer in the potty training phase. Plus, for a limited time, GoodNites has introduced Marvel and Disney prints that your “big kid” is sure to love!

my son was really hard to potty train, and I can remember he would wet the bed even after he started school. I wish I’d had goodnites back then to put on him at nighttime…
donnak4

Mine were fairly early to potty train, but my nephew is not interested!
Shirley Zolenski

She is still trying to get it down at night but pull ups are a life saver.
Laura Proctor Unger

My son does fine during the day, but at night he just doesn’t wake up when he needs to go.
Teresa Thompson

We’ve just started potty training my granddaughter and so far shes doing great.
Kimberly Hilbert

My first daughter didn’t have much of a problem with bed wetting once she was fully potty trained. She was able to find the bathroom in the night. Luckily in that house her bedroom was 2 feet away from the bathroom.
Robert Pyszk

Thank goodness we only have a couple bed wetting accidents .
Hollie Jahnke

My daughter is fully potty trained during the day but she still has accidents at night.

My oldest son was easy to potty train, but my youngest son took forever. I didn’t think he was every going to stop wearing diapers

my oldest has autism and we struggled with potty training for years. I didn’t get her 100% trained until she was 5, the summer before she started kindergarten. Good Nights helped a lot!

My son is too young now, but I’ll need this soon
http://www.facebook.com/gina.ferrell.71 Gina Ferrell

All three of my kids are potty trained but my son sometimes makes mistakes in the middle of the night because he is a heavy sleeper and that’s why we love Goodnites pull-ups.
Rosey

Three out of four of my kiddos trained both potty time and getting up in the night very easily. My last one hasn’t. He’s been potty trained for a long time in the daytime, but every once in awhile has a nighttime accident. We’re on day 11 of being accident free, woot!

I did not have too many wet bedding experiences with my kids. my son was a more difficult to potty train
susansmoaks

our son is totally potty trained when he is awake, but he is a deep sleeper so we have a lot of bed wetting, we try to stop fluids a few hours before bed but that doesn’t always help!
http://www.facebook.com/jenny.quimby.3 Jenny Quimby

My son was SO easy to train during the day, in just 1 week he decided that he was potty trained with no accidents, but nighttime is another story. He does wet the bed on most nights, but it is nice to know that this is a very common issue.
Nicole Lancaster

My daughter was very easy to potty train, I had no problem there. She does wet the bed sometimes but no more than twice a year.

My son has been difficult to potty train. He would rather hold it than go. Thanks so much for the
fantastic giveaway!

My daughter is 15 months and is potty trained during the day and even stays dry through naps, but she hasn’t mastered the night time yet, so we will see in the future how that pans out.
Nicole

My oldest daughter had no issues, but my niece is another story!

Lisa Dripps

My daughter has been showing signs of potty training for months now and uses it here and there. She’s only 20 months old now though so we don’t want to push it too much. She’s definitely aware of it though and we’re hoping she’ll be potty trained by the time she turns 2.

I had 6 boys and 1 girl. She was the hardest ever to potty train. lol
Fiona

Keep reminding them go to the bathroom before they sleep every night!
Stacy T

I don’t have any personal stories, but my niece had a problem with bedwetting until she was about 7 or 8. My brother took her to several doctors because they were worried she had something medically wrong with her, but it turned out she was just a really deep sleeper.
Danielle Mitchell

My daughter has been difficult to potty train at night. She still uses night time diapers every evening. I’m going to try some of their tips!

My daughter was easy to train, my son is proving to be a little harder. We’ve reduce his liquid intake after dinner, and that seems to help.
Missy L

All of my kids had the daytime training done at least a year before the nighttime training happened. Their bodies just aren’t ready until later. And that’s okay.
Kyra Stolworthy

Don’t let him drink about an hour before bed and he does AWESOME!
Vera P.

We just started a few days ago and it hasn’t been going so well.
brooke

in the middle of the store my son decided to sit down and pee in the middle of the floor
tamar

we did the 3 day potty training method and it worked
israel y

we find when he doesnt drink anything for an hour before bedtime, then he can go the whole night without bedwetting
Angela Hartness

Potting training was a breeze, it is the bed-wetting that has been a night mare. I feel better knowing that 1 out of every 9 children wet the bed and that I am not alone in this battle.
Stephanie L.

My daughter isn’t ready just yet, we’ve tried a few different times. It’s best not to force her into it. She will be ready when she’s ready.
priscillavbenavides

My boys have always done well with potty training at night but I have one more to go, he is 15 months and we have one baby one the way so we will have to wait to see how that goes with them!

Cristy R.

1 out of every 9 kids wets the bed. My daughter was great with potty training at night!
Gianna

Don’t force it.. try to do it gradually.

I am not so sure my two year old is ready to be without a diaper at night he is doing great during the day.
Karen Farrow

My oldest son would wet the bed no matter what we tried. We talked with his doctor and tried every approach we could think of. These would be great for our little one who wears nightime pullups right now but would feel more like a ‘big boy’ with these.
nanlara

i used to have to wake my son after he went to sleep and carry him to the bathroom so he could pee. he is finally learning to wake himself up

it is ok to have night-time accidents! keep trying!
Lilyana

Take nothing liquid before bedtime!

my oldest son wet the bed for awhile and it was tough
http://www.thelifeofrylie.com LeeAnn

My daughter was potty trained shortly after she turned 2, during the day and night. She never has accidents at night. ::knock on wood:: Everyone said my son would be more difficult to potty train because he was a boy, but he actually potty trained himself over a weekend when he was about 2 1/2. He was way easy! However, he still has nighttime accidents.

My first daughter has been more difficult to potty training, I think because of intolerance to milk.
http://www.facebook.com/KATERS2714 Katie Klein

We are still working on potty training with my almost 3 year old. He is so defiant but I try to realize he will be ready when he is ready.

My grandson can use these. Thanks for the contest.

I do not have small kids and am trying to win this for my brother so I don’t have a story.

My older son was late to potty train. Like WAY late! Once he decided he was ready though, he goes to sleep in his underwear and stays dry all night. Our younger one is ready to potty train now though, so we will see how it goes!
Rochelle

Only had a few night-time accidents. Not too bad.
Maryann

Our middle son was the hardest to train. He was also a very deep night sleeper so he had a few accidents. It so much easier with our 3rd one. He is so cooperative and really wants to learn and try to be a big boy.

The 3 day potty training method did the trick for us with our kids
Yesenia

When I started potty training my then 2.y.o. now 5, he used to sleep right through the night and would not wake up when he had to pee. Eventually he got with the program. You just have to be patient.
Erin rok

My daughter is 2 and potty trained but she will still wet at night. She doesn’t want to wear a diaper so these pants should do the trick

everybody has accidents mverno@roadrunner.com
Rachel

We are still working with my daughter on night training. Some nights she stays completely dry and others she is still waking up with a wet pull-up. So, i believe she’ll just get there when she gets there. WE are having her go potty before bed in hopes this helps
Cheryl W

My daughter had a couple of accidents at night after she was potty trained. I really believe it was more of her being so asleep, she didn’t even know she had to go.
Caitlin Tate

I could use this
Daiva

My son is a deep sleeper, so he doesn’t wake up to go to the bathroom. I could really use this!
Susie B. Homemaker

My middle daughter took the longest to potty train (she was 3 years old) and then took a little longer to nighttime train. And thankfully none of my girls are bedwetters.

Our child is 11 weeks old, so we have a ways to go, but we already bought him a cute froggy potty for when the time comes.

potty training days are way over but my little one still struggles at night – even when I don’t let him drink a few hours before bedtime
Jaime Nicole

My daughters were very different! My older had nighttime accidents way more often than my younger one does.

my 3 yr old is potty training so he has had c ouple accidents in the bed. my tip is not to give them anything to drink a couple hours before bed.
sandra

each child learns at their own pace

My son has been potty trained since early two but has some accidents at bed time he’s four now. I’m hoping that he’ll stop once he starts a full day of preschool and is drinking less during the day.
http://www.facebook.com/StephanieLarison Stephanie Larison

My daughter is 3 and still not ready just yet to potty train, I will not be pushing her as I know it takes most kids from 3-4 to finish. She will do it on her own time. In the mean time getting her used to these, she feels more confident about the potty when before, she wanted nothing to with it.
Cassandra Eastman

I decided not to push my son into potty training to quickly and that worked great, he was 2 1/2 and had it down really well. I hope my daughter is as easy! She is just 12 months now but it won’t be long!
http://www.facebook.com/people/Leslie-Galloway/100002864252063 Leslie Galloway

My daughter wet the bed forever… and the pediatrician just told me that it would happen when it happened. That it was all hormonal. She was right. All of the sudden, one day she just turned the corner, and hardly ever had another accident.

My son was easy to potty train, I am hoping my daughter will be easy too

Mary Williams

My son was pretty easy to potty train, we had a few bedtime accidents but now that he is 4 he no longer has them!
Devon Franco

We have more problems with day time accidents than night time accidents lately
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1042614846 Allyson Bossie

My oldest had accidents until he was about 11…nothing could be helped, just didn’t wake up unless I woke him up at midnight. My second hasn’t had accidents since she was 14 months old…not at night or day. my 3rd has accidents randomly, but rarely these days. And my last, he is fully potty trained, but still has issues at night!
http://www.facebook.com/mommytime5 Chelsea Weber

My kids have been really easy to potty train and we’ve had minimal accidents since they started sleeping without diapers… They were pretty much completely potty trained when they were 2.5 yrs

Staying dry during the night can be difficult for some children especially when they sleep so deep that they miss the signals that they need to go potty.

my youngest is the hardest so far. We do really good during the day but are having problems at night.

I am having a hard time with my little one, she did so well potty training for a month and is now back in diapers. We need to try Pull-Ups and see if those would help!
susan

We weren’t very good at it and needed lots of tips from our doctor to get it going.
Kristin

My niece (who I babysit) is completely potty-trained. But when she sleeps? Forget it. It’s so frustrating for everyone…I had four kids, and to be honest, I don’t remember how it was with them (the youngest is 15)!!
http://www.facebook.com/people/Joyce-Nivens-Harrell/1691620958 Joyce Nivens Harrell

We had 3 girls and they were all so different. Our oldest was soooo easy. Number 2 was easy, but did not stay dry at nite until she was 4 or 5. Number 3 was impossible…day and nite…had to try every trick in the book.

My 7 yr old has been potty trained since she was 2 but still wets the bed 1-2 times a week. She will outgrow it eventually!

We will be begin potty training in about a month, but I’m a little concerned because my grandson is almost 3 but still wakes up with a wet diaper in the morning.
Fawn H

My son sleeps so soundly that bedwetting has been a problem.
Rich Morris

My son will stay dry for days but he has expressive speech issues so he isn’t always able to communicate his need to go. I think this would be a great package to help boost his confidence and participation in the process
Kimberly

We are in the beginning stages of potty training, but Goodnites are my go-to nighttime training pants!!

potty training is a dim memory, but the bedwetting still happens – maybe once every two weeks…..
