My 4y/o was dry at night with diapers, now wets at night with panties?

I wonder if you just "thought" she was dry in the mornings? I only say this because last night was my 3 yr olds first nite in big boy underwear at bed. He just had a week of "dry" diapers in the morning. But he woke up at 1 am crying that he peed his bed. But when I got him up he really wasnt wet. His underwear were just a little wet as if he started and then stopped.. His bed didnt even get wet. I wonder if his "diapers" could have had a couple of these through out the night and then would seem dry in the morning. Anyways if thats not it.. Maybe its just the change.. Her sub-conscious could be working against her lol.. Before it would have been "ok" if she had an accident she had a diaper on so she didnt worry about it and hence didnt have an accident. Now though she will wet the bed.. Murphy's Law.. I would just give her some time.. Continue to praise the dryness.. My girls are 9 and 11.. I only really remember 1 or 2 times of them wetting the bed at nite.. Limit her drink content to a few hours before bed..and go from there. Good Luck

i was having a similar problem with my daughter - we've just achieved dry nights. Basically, she has a smaller bladder so it fills easier. What i did was 1. nothing to drink after 7pm - one hour before bed. 2.two hours after I put her to bed I'd wake her up to go pee. 3. wake her again before I went to bed. The point is wake her up, if she's asleep on the toilet, she'll never know the feeling of needing to pee. After a few nights she'll wake up on her own, then you have to take her to the bathroom so she understands why she woke up and eventually she'll just get up to pee and go back to bed. Be prepared though, there may be a couple of accidents along the way so put a mattress cover on the bed and when she wakes up dry in the morning, make a big deal out of it. We had a sarah special, when she woke up dry, she got to choose her own breakfast.

If you've tried all the tricks like not giving her water just before bedtime and having her go potty just before bedtime, etc., then perhaps she has a mild bladder infection?

They are extremely common in young girls just past potty-training stage, as they are not yet experts at cleaning themselves lol. I had to re-teach my own 4 year old twice in how to wipe and get herself super clean after each potty session.

You said part by her request, have you looked into the possiblity that maybe she wants to where them.

go back to the diapers for a while then she will no longer need them at all
