If you're desperate you could try 'lifting' - When DD was day trained (12 years ago lol) each night when I went to bed (around 10pm) I would get her up, sit her on the toilet, whisper "do wees Claire", she would pee while leaning on me, I would put her back to bed, she would sleep. She was still in a nappy but a REALLY deep sleeper and if I didn't her nappy would be SO wet, the sheets would all be wet every morning!

Otherwise, I think its a developmental thing and unless you can leap out of bed every morning and wake them up before they pee, you have to wait it out whaaat Have to say I'm not a fan of cold turkey (sorry!) because like Kiwimum says, its a brain/bladder connection and I would hate to be left laying in wet sheets so that I would 'learn' to wake up!

It's really normal to still be wet at night, for a lot of children bn dry at night comes a lot lot later than day.
my #1 day TT at 2yrs old in the blink of an eye but wasn't until around 4yrs that he was dry by night - and even that it was a total accident - like your DD his nappy was usually still soaked through at night until one night i forgot to put one on, and wham he was dry (i guess he realised he didn't have one but i didn't) basically after that I bought a few brolly sheets - and yeah we had a few accidents - but for the most part he stayed dry.
I did restrict drinks in the evening (simply bcos i noticed when he drank a lot after dinner he WOULD wet), and on the way to bed id send him to the loo - even if i knew he went only half an hour ago- just a good habbit.

#2 was dry at night a few weeks after bn dry in the day at 2 1/4yrs - but had a stage after a tummy bug where he needed to go back into nappies-started soaking them through so i took them off him bcos i KNEW he could be dry at night - he had a few wet beds (with the brolly sheet) decided he didn't much like that, and went back to being dry.

This is exactly what we did. Neither of them ever had a dry nappy so one night we just took it away and they stayed dry, it must be a psychological thing where they know they have a nappy on so it is okay to go.

I posted on this AAGGEESS ago. Olivia turned five and said "Big girl's don't wear nappies" and stopped wearing them. She was saturated at night on and off for a couple of weeks and has been mostly dry since. I'm definitely in the "Leave them to it" camp.

I just got this in an email today from the sleep store, made me feel a bit better about DD2 regressing back into a night nappy!
