night time potty training

DD has been wearing undies to bed for 2 - 3 months now and used to have an accident maybe once a week, if at all. Now the accidents are more frequent for some reason.

I really don't want to (and DD says she really doesn't want to) go back to pull-ups at night, but I don't know if there's anything else we can do?

Should I try waking her up really early, having her use the potty and go back to bed or just keep doing what we're doing?

Any advice would be great,

Thanks

    Is she drinking more/ later than before? Going potty before bed? Could her sleep be different? I'm thinking deeper sleep, so she doesn't notice? I wouldn't go back if I were you. Get a plastic mattress cover and extra set of sheets...

    We double layer the mattress with sheets/waterproof covers, so that we just have to strip off the top layer in the middle of the night if there's an accident.  We started waking DS to go pee right before we go to bed and that has stopped accidents completely.

    This is what I would do, and have done... since she is already in undies, I might try to bring her right before you go to bed for a dream pee, but I would not do this more than a week. I would make sure she is emptying her bladder right before bed and limit fluids after dinner. But, some kids are just not ready. My 2 yr old stays dry every night and goes to bed with a cup of water every night and my 4 yr old is limited after dinner and wakes up wet. You might just have to do sheets every morning. It sucks, but it is what it is. We told our middle son that when he stay dry for 1 week straight he can move to undies at bed time. I am not really in a hurry,there will be so much more laundry then!

    DD's been potty trained since age 3, but just recently stopped wearing Pull-Ups at night. She started waking up dry, so I just started cold turkey, took those Pull-Ups away, and they weren't even an option anymore, even when she had an accident now and then. We would talk about it every night, how when she woke up, the first thing she should do is run to the bathroom and go potty (she was having her accidents not when she was sleeping, but right when she was waking up). We also stop all liquids after dinner, except for a few sips of water when she's brushing her teeth, and she has to go to the bathroom before bed, too, even if she says she doesn't have to, she sits on the potty. I wouldn't go back to pull-ups if your daughter already was doing ok for 2-3 months.
