My DD will be 5 in August (how did that happen?!?! ) and currently I still lift her for a wee when I go to bed. Our only toilet is downstairs (very old house) so she has a potty in her room which she is starting to get a bit big for. She has had about 2 wet beds in the past year WITH me lifting her at 10-10.30 ish, both times when she was ill and coughing. She does sometimes get up in the morning and have a wee on her potty if we aren't awake but generally she won't leave her room until she hears that me or DH are awake and up and about.
So when should I stop lifting her? I genuinely have no idea if she can make it through the night without me lifting her but worried that she's got into the habit of going when I pick her up. (I'm lucky that she's small because she doesn't wake up and is usually completely dead weight!) She's been completely dry during the day since she was about 2.5. Some nights when I go in to her she has already had a wee on the potty. She does have a drink before bed, and always goes to the toilet before going upstairs. She goes to bed about 7-7.30 and usually goes to sleep around 8-8.30, but she doesn't get up and mess about, just plays and 'reads'. Not sure I would trust her to go up and down the stairs in the night on her own, and she won't sleep with a nightlight, it has to be dark! Any advice greatly appreciated!
