Hi, I am very new to potty training and I am planning on starting this week. I am going to keep my son in underwear during the day, but what do you suggest for naps and bedtime? He still wakes up with a very full diaper in the morning even with using the potty before bed. I don't want to confuse him by adding pull ups but also concerned about him waking up often because he has wet pajamas, etc. Hate to see him be frustrated and exhausted.
Thoughts?
Re: Napt/Bedtime what do they wear?
She has no trouble with understanding that she wears diapers only when she is sleeping, they come off as soon as she wakes up. She is a very deep sleeper so there is no way at all she will wake to go pee. (We have accidentally tested this a few times by forgetting to put on a diaper for naps, sure enough those few times we forget she pees)
Unless you want to wake your LO up consistently in the middle of the night, just leave them in diaper or pullup until their body is developmentally ready to hold it all night, or they are good enough to wake to pee.
