Q:My daughter was potty trained aged 2,but still soaking her nappy at night.What should I do?

A:Around half of children become try at night in their third year,and some will continue to wet at night until they start school.If this is the case with your child,talk to the school nurse at the end of her reception year.In the meantime,keep up with nighttime nappies,as your tot has no control over her bladder at night yet.
   If nothing major is going on in the family,this should be a good time ti try without a nappy.Buy a waterproof sheet for the bed,and be prepared for extra washing for a while.If accidents happen,don't make a fuss and avoid negative comments when cleaning up.Keep a night light on,with easy access to the loo if she needs to use it.Get her to drink lots of water during the day,as this will help her bladder function.
