Looks as though you do not ever blame him for lack of bladder controlControl Control rx. You are excellent parents. I actually feel ill when I hear that parents scold for potty accidents.
And luckily you realize when someone is asleep they are really not conscious of their actions.
So he goes to bed when? 8pm? That's maybe 6 hours he holds it til 2am? Pretty good I'd say. The only thing that is a bit backward here is that some parents notice it's time to potty train when the child IS waking up with full bladder and not peeing in the diaper. Usually around age 2 right?
No, we don't scold him. And he's still in a toddler bed with the crib mattress so the wetness doesn't do any damage. :) I don't think I'll move him to a bigger bed until I know he stays completely dry for a long time.
He goes to bed around 9pm. I'd like it to be earlier but my husband doesn't get home until 7pm from work and usually wants to spend some time playing with him before he goes to bed. So, we've been putting him to bed around 9pm lately and getting him up around 10:30pm or 11pm to go potty, but he'll sleep until 8am.
I don't know if he has a small bladder or not. I do know my daughter used to have accidents for awhile when she was little and my husband said he used to pee the bed for a long time when he was a kid. I don't know if it's just sleeping too deeply or what.
He took a long time to potty train during the day. He was 3 before I had him potty trained. We've just now been trying the night thing.
Thanks for writing back. I guess we'll play this by ear and see how things go.

May have a tiny bladder. I do.
The interruption of sleep for you all is no fun.
Are you limiting liquids after 5 pm? I know it always seems sort of abusive. I never did it with my kiddos, but you know that's what makes the tinkle.....
I personally would wait 8 more weeks, try again - 8 more weeks etc
Hope you have nice plastic sheets.
Warmest regards
