Is it expected for my child to achieve nighttime potty training by the age of 3.5?

< 1 min read

Medical and pediatric literature highlights nighttime potty training as a neurological milestone, with most children achieving dryness at night as their brain matures and bladder grows. Simple practices like peeing before bed and upon waking can help. About 15% of 5-year-olds still wet the bed, declining rapidly thereafter. Intervening at age 7 may be necessary. Encouraging dryness in younger children is challenging and lacks evidence regarding bladder muscle development claims. Using pull-ups can ease the process for both parents and children.
