My child learned daytime toilet use but still wears a diaper at night. How do I know when it's the right time to stop using nighttime diapers?

Stopping nighttime diapers is a completely different process from daytime training. Most children can't achieve nighttime control right after learning daytime toilet habits; this is purely about physiological maturation.
Signs that it's time to stop nighttime diapers: the diaper is dry several mornings in a row, the child wants to wake up and use the toilet at night on their own, or the child wakes up upset when they have an accident.
On average, nighttime control develops between ages 4-5 in girls and 5-7 in boys. If your child is younger, this is completely normal. Forcing creates anxiety and can delay the process.
If you want to try: reduce fluid intake 1 hour before bed, take them to the toilet right before sleep, and put a potty chair beside the bed. But most importantly, continuing diapers until your child is ready is much healthier than pressuring them. If bedwetting continues regularly after age 7, I recommend consulting a pediatrician.
