At what age did your kids sleep dry through the night?

My kids are old enough I can't remember, but I know it wasn't three or four.

Please note my answers might be off based on memory.
DD potty trained at 25 months. I guess it was at least a year before she was night dry but not quite 2 years. It definitely felt "long" but not sure what would feel long at that time in my life.

DS was potty trained at 23 months. I can't remember how long but I do remember it was LONGER than dd. If I had to guess again, I would say at least 2 years for any nighttime consistency.

Looking into the way back machine - 1 month before his 5th birthday we went to Yellowstone and he had a nighttime potty incontinence and I did NOT have pull ups for night anymore. I remember thinking Erg! I thought I didnt need to bring them, but I did need to bring them. So he was definitely dry at night by 5. I must have brought them in April (Yellowstone was June) - when we traveled because I remember Yellowstone being the 1st time not packing them. Maybe he didnt use them at the April trip since I didnt bring them in June. But the April trip was closer, driving, etc.

So based on that timeline I would say not until after 4, maybe say nighttime at 4 in general and 4.5-5 for any extra ordinary heavy sleep situations. We cruised at 5.5 and I do think he stayed dry all night on that trip.
