Is your child’s potty training causing sleep issues? Are they fighting naps, stalling at bedtime, getting out of bed repeatedly or waking up early? If this goes on at your house, it’s no surprise. We all know that developmental milestones can wreak havoc with sleep – and using the potty is a very major milestone!
Potty-related sleep problems can be especially confusing and frustrating for parents. Of course, we want to encourage our children to pay attention to their body’s signals, and are happy when they recognize the need to go – but in the middle of the night, after two or three false alarms, “I need to go potty” starts to feel like just another an excuse to get up and out of bed. It can be very difficult to sort through what’s actually going on.
