Nightmare on Elm Street

Training for diaper-free night is the real challenge. its different at all.

at first, i still put aisyah on diaper.
but im lucky to be able to let her went diaper-free at times, especially kalau terlupa or terlajak, since i still had the plastic sheet on my tilam. helps a lot, just had to change the bedsheet and wipe the sheet clean.
it helps a lot, since when she wakes up all wet, she knows that it shudnt be that way
and me will bebel2 at her, and she'l remember.
 there's a lot of tips on succesful potty train at night but i just go with my best motherly instinct.
its not easy since aisyah insists on her milk right before sleep. and followed by another half bottle of plain water later..mmg sah-sah banjir la pastu..
what i did was to make sure she go to toilet right after her milk. by hook or by crook! at times dia pun malas gak so berperang gak ler nk soh pi toilet. especially kalau dia dah siap pakai diapers.
since she by then dah pandai pakai lampin sendiri lagiii la.. tgk2 dah ready je, dah siap kencing pon dlm tu!!! tak pasai2 kena ganti.
and since siang2 dah tak pakai lampin, she will on poo poo malam2.. elok pakai lampin je mula la..
i notice, bukannya dia tk reti nk guna toilet ke apa, but more likely dia saja 'seronok' berak dlm lampin.. buleh????
after 'few' rows dan beberapa ancaman cubitan, she finally gave in.. naturally actually.
i just noticed that she gradually be able to stay dry till morning. cuma kalau bangun lambat haa terkucil la jugak.
i dont wake her up in the middle of the night, sebab dia dah la susah nk tido kan, kalau kena kejut mlm2 sah2 buat perangai. tak sukerrrrr..! so takpe la mummy relaaa basuh cadar hari2

kalau ikut some of the tips i found on the net, for eg here

if i may simplified the tips:
1. invest in plastic sheet to protect the mattress. agak2 kalau korang mama yg kejam kasi je anak tido atas lantai hehe
2. limit the fluid intake by nighttime. i tried to reduce the amount of milk and plain water tp ikut nasib la, at times she'l insists 'nak susu banyakkk!!!'
3. bring your kid to empty their tank right before bedtime.
4. wake them up to shee-shee in the middle of the night, or again right before dawn. most accident normally occurs around that time.

you just have to be (again) patient.
accident-free night may take longer to build.. so hold on.

apapun, i noticed that the success rate for complete diaper-free children lies in several factor:
1. the childs ability/holding power - my aisyah is very good at this. i have never had accident when outing with her! she can hold it quite well.. but i didnt take the risk, even if it means terpaksa la ku berlari2 dukung dia yg dok tahan!!
2. persistency - a must.
3. child's understanding - they must know why they'r need to do that. if not they just wont bother..
4. full support - from everyone around. it may not work properly, or it'l take longer time to success if not everyone is co-operating. because it'l make the kids confuse and the routine will be interrupted. but of course, you need to know when to stand and when to give in.. takkan nk pi rumah org pastu biar anak kencing merata kan.. agak2 laa.. and maybe you can be more considerable with  your kids caretaker.. explain to them, but give them some space.. u might not want them to feel 'burdened' with the extra task all of sudden. some childcare centre do encourage and potty train the kids, so be prepare and get to know their methods. jgn tetiba nk hangen bila anak cerita kena marah ke apa.. i mean, check with the nanny/teacher dulu.

tu je la kot?
