When our first child learned to use the potty we used diapers during naps and overnight. The nap diapers faded after a month or so, but the overnight diapers took like a year. What’s worse is that he started pooping only when he had the diaper on, usually in the morning before getting out of bed. This was… not ideal.

I imagine that if we just ditch the diapers entirely then we would have a few days of wetting the bed, but maybe that’s worth it? Or does it become a persistent problem? Or does bed wetting at this stage create unexpected problems? Any experience or advice would be great!

    Ditto on layering the bed. When we started potty training we did away with diapers entirely. I think it took maybe 4 days before they went a day without accidents (not that there weren’t any over the next few weeks).
