pregnant with a 3 year old

well i have a 2 year old son (he will be 3 on the 24th, 2 days before my due date), he is potty trained but e wears pampers during the night and they are just not holding him, he keeps peeing in my bed and im washing everyday it never fails. yes he has own bed but he has been sleeping with me since a baby and he doesnt like his bed. im going to start potty training at night time when my babygirl gets here cuz i know i will be up every 2-3 hours feeding her so while shes eating i can get him up to go to the bathroom, im just trying to get all the rest i can while i only have one. but what is best for him throughtout the night until then?

My nearly 8yr old son still has trouble at night, it's a very common problem with boys. Mine is quite simply too lazy to go when he needs. Even during the day he will wait until he is dancing before going regardless of how often I ask if he needs. I think he's afraid he might miss something if he leaves a room. Cant blame him, I'm always last to leave a party incase I miss out on the good bits!! Good luck!

Stop letting him have drinks at a certain time, and make going potty part of the nightly routine.

First I used old happy b day table cloths for my son to sleep on... no liquids. Try drinkable yogurts or just less to drink period. Also take thed time to do a goodnite routine with him and include3 an extra potty check... also more absorbant snacks before bed. Something with bread crackers or gramcrackers

I'm in the same boat! Pregnant with a 3 yr old potty rebel. My dilemma was we moved to boston from puerto rico so we had a few setbacks of him adjusting to the move.... my husband works third shift so my son sleeps with me. Diaper at night, naked during the day he's doing great..... only pooped once n potty, now refuses and asks for pull up or diaper.....we are getting there!

All 3 of my babies were completely potty trained by 18 months. I mean throughout the night time everything. You have to take all drinks away at about 7 or 8 and make him go to the potty right before bed. Put him in underwear because pampers defeat the entire purpose. Eventually he will get tired of being wet and cold and he will learn to get up to go to the potty. My 3 year old has been potty trained for almost 2 years. My baby is going to be 1 in July. I already went and bought a new seat for the toilet. As soon as he turns 1 I will begin putting him on the potty. I know its annoying and disgusting to have him peeing on you but try putting some plastic under a blanket on your bed so you dont constantly have to wash that's what I did and it worked. Trust me give it about a month of getting him into the routine of no drinks and going potty and sleeoing in underpants and he will be good to go!

My son is just now going through this, he was doing awesome not peeing in bed and lately he's just regressed a ton, so what I've done is not give him a drink 2-3 hours before bed, I make sure he gets a big drink about 2 hours before he goes to bed, I have him pee right before he goes to his bed, and I put a potty chair right in his room incase he needs to go RIGHT away, he's only 2 1/2, so he's just getting there with potty training overnight, so I will continue to keep a pull up on him until I think he's got it down. It's helped a lot lately, so I'd try that. And also not judging for sleeping in bed, but in order to have him adjust better to sleeping in his own bed I'd start him with it now, then that way it's not two big changes (a new baby, and having to sleep in his own bed) at one time. And trust me I know how hard it is, they're sooo cuddly and I HATED seeing my son cry, but he sleeps SO much better now that he's in his own bed! Good luck with potty training and the new baby!!

its most likely he is peeing thru his diaper because he is holding it in so well that when he does pee its too much for the diaper... so id say he may be ready to learn that he can go to the potty in the night now...
