HELP with nighttime training! TIA

I am in potty hell.  Brendan has been in underwear at night for a few weeks now (he's been accident-free in underwear during the day for just about a year), and he's doing okay at night, but not great.  The problem is that, if he DOES have an accident, it doesn't wake him up.  That indicates to me that he's just really not quite ready for nighttime training yet.

But he INSISTS on wearing underwear to bed!  And when we go in to have him use the potty right before we go to bed, he throws a FIT because we have to wake him out of his deepest sleep.  Last night was HORRENDOUS!!

I don't want to discourage his being trained at night, but I am SO TIRED of changing sheets 4 days(ish)each week. 

Suggestions??????  THANKS!

  • No advice since I'm just in the beginning of potty training, but when DD wears underwear to bed I put several layers of waterproof sheet (or even old ultimate crib sheets) on the middle of the bed so if she wets I can just take off the one layer instead of changing the whole bed.

  • Thanks, yeah, I do that, but since he usually ends up sleeping in a puddle all night (ewwww, poor guy!), it soaks its way through all the layers.  Ugh!

    Thanks though!
