Did you know that ADH, Antidiuretic hormone is particularly relevant during nighttime when the body's production of this hormone is crucial in preventing excessive urine production and promoting dry nights? The maturation of the ADH system in children is a key factor in achieving nighttime dryness and children develop the hormone at a wide range of ages. The lack of ADH production could be the reason your child is not staying dry at night yet. They may simply be late bloomers and will catch up - so be patient.

In Japan, there is a potty training cultural tradition known as "chon-mage," where a small tuft of hair is left on the child's head until they complete potty training, symbolizing their growth and development.

An Innovative Potty Training Technology was introduced almost a century ago. As early as 1938, among the first technologies developed to address toilet training was known as the "bell and pad", where a sensor detected when a child had wet themselves at night, and triggered an alarm to act as a form of conditioning.

During the EuropeanMiddle Ages, according to one source "Recommended cures for 'pyssying the bedde'...included consumption of ground hedgehog or powdered goat claw and having dried rooster combs sprinkled on the bed."[2]

A child younger than 12 months has no control over bladder or bowel movements. There is very little control between 12 to 18 months. Most children don't have bowel and bladder control until 24 to 30 months. The average age of toilet training is 27 months.
