  Check your toddler's diaper each morning. If he keeps them dry throughout the night for at least a week, it is time to move forward with nighttime potty training. His bladder is big enough to hold urine for hours at a time and he knows the feeling of waking up dry.

  Talk to your toddler. Show your enthusiasm over the dry diaper and suggest she graduate into big girl sleeping panties (disposable training pants). Explain how she should try to stay dry and that she needs to go to the toilet to go potty at night.

  Take your child to the bathroom each time you wake up to use the toilet. Do this for the first few days of training so she gets used to getting up to use the toilet. If she does not need to go, stop waking her so frequently.
  
  
• 6). Praise your child each time he wakes up and his disposable training pants are dry. After he stays clean and dry for a week, move him into cotton training pants. Line the mattress with a waterproof mattress pad. Keep an extra one handy for nighttime accidents.

  Encourage your child to wake up on her own when she has the urge to potty, but continue to wake her and bring her to the bathroom for as long as needed.
