Shall i put him back in pull-ups?
My 6 year old son is dry in the day, but i have problems in the night. I took him off pull ups, and tried encouraging him to use big boys pants at night. I also had him checked with the doctor to see if he had an water infection and he hasnt, the doctor said there was not much he could do till he was 7. I dont know what to do, i wake him at night, yet he has wet his bed and hasnt woken up. Shall i out him back in pull-ups?
Answers:
You should do what you feel is right for you and your son. Personally, I would put him back in overnights for another couple of months and try again. Children mature at different rates and it could just be its not quite ready yet. I think constantly changing his wet sheets would embarrass him and would be counterproductive. But, only you can assess what is most appropriate for your child. Good luck!
yes,could be his bladder is just not fully grown my daughter has that problem she is 4 though.
try good nights though not pull-ups.
use the pull ups but start a reward system one day dry = treat 3 days dry bigger treat etc- youll be amazed
i think i would keep him in the real underwear and get a mattress protector for under the sheet...this way the mattress doesn't get ruined but you can continue encouraging him to use the bathroom!
Nope I wouldn't put him back in pull ups that's defeating the object and hes passed them a long time ago - many children at that age still wet the bed - make sure you have protective sheets on the mattress - it sounds like he gets into a heavy sleep and cant wake himself when his bladder is full. Limit his drinks if you haven't done so already - make his last drink before bed time at least an hour before he goes and stick to this - he has enough time to do a few wees in this time so his bladder wont be full when hes sleeping. Don't give up and put the pull ups back on it will get better in time.
stop giving him anything to drink after 7pm. make him go to the bathroom right before he goes to sleep. put a waterproof cover on the matteress, it will make him feel the wetness when he does have an accident. do not put him back in pullups, they just absorb the wetness like diapers.
this is actually a common problem..just dont make a big deal about it to your son and dont let him drink much late at night ..ask him if he wants to have pull ups untill he feeld he is ready to try again ..let him decide but like i said before dont make a big deal out of it .most of this kids have problems that the parents arnt aware of ..need to find out if school is stressing him out or other kids ect.this can be a hidden factor to the problem ..or it could be pressure from you ..
If you give a drink at nite, stop.. Try not giving him anything to drink 1.5 hrs. before bedtime. Make sure he does go potty before bedtime.
yes i would try not to give him drinks after five this may help it worked with my child.:)
Put him back in the pull-ups and give yourself and him a break. No drinks an hour or so before bed, and lack of pressure and a bit of time should take care of the problem. If your Doctor isn't pushing, then let it go for now.
let him have the pull up or u a plastic sheet some kid it take years to get them not to love him let him know it not a big thing
my son just stopped wetting the bed at nite when he was 10.we had him checked and and he was fine. If your son doesnt like the pull-ups try a cloth bed pad that that keeps the mattress dry.also try no liquids two hours before bed time.
ask him does he have a problem with getting up during the night. my middle son went through a similar thing at your sons age and it turned out that he was scared to go to the bathroom because he was scared of the dark, i just made sure the bathroom light was left on during the night and made him aware that it wouldnt be dark if he needed to get up and the problem was solved within a week. hope this helps and good luck.
what is the point, think about what you are saying , my six year old,
it is time well over due that he his toilet trained, a good tip is to regulate what he drinks two hours before bedtime, forget big boy pants and pullups he is not a toddler, stop mollycoddling him and get him to the toilet, dont chastise him use a lttle reverse kidology.
big boys stand up, big boys lift the seat big boys know when to go, ect, talk about other peoples kids ,make sur he is around when you discuss it with your friends, dont make a point of singling him out .
he will take notice, without you having to spell it out.
he likes the attention, stop it. regards LF
Well I'm a mother of a 7yr old boy and a 3yr old girl.Now my daughter has been potty trained since she was a year and half and has never once wet the bed, yet anyways.My son was harder to potty trained so he was about 3 yrs old when he finally was fully potty trained and he still at night sometimes has accidents.The best thing to do is not put him back in pull ups.It defeats the purpose of what your trying to break him out of.Try buying a protective cover for the mattress this will make him feel the wetness when he does wet the bed at night.He will get to the point that he doesn't like the feeling of being in a wet bed.Cut off his drinks a hour before bed.This will give him time to let his bladder get full and go to the bathroom.Make sure you have him go before bed.Also when you tuck him in remind him that when he feels like he need's to go to the bathroom to get up in the middle of the night.Sometimes there bladder just doesn't grow with there body.
no dont put him back in pull ups it will only shatter his confidence,my sister wet the bed up untill she was 15 yrs old,put a matress protector on the bed and the dry night sheets on top,if you try and make a game out of it like you did wen you potty trained it might encourage him a little better,my sister was a very heavy sleeper and she had a weak bladder hence the reason she was still wetting the bed at such a late age the doctor put her on pills but they didnt work.eventully she had a small operation just to tighten up her bladder.try not to give him any drinks 2 hours b4 bed time.
I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MY DAUGHTER ,IF YOU CAN AVOID PUTTING HIM BACK INTO PULL UPS AND TRY USING THE PAMPERS BED SHEETS INSTEAD. THE PULL UPS WILL ONLY MAKE THINGS WORSE BECAUSE HE KNOWS ITS OK TO WEE IN THEM SO THINGS WILL NEVER CHANGE.I STOPPED GIVING MY DAUGHTER JUICE BEFORE BED WHICH HELPED A LITTLE BUT LIKE YOURSELF I ALSO HAVE TO WAKE MY DAUGHTER DURING THE NIGHT BUT SHE STILL MANAGES TO WET THE BED.IS YOUS SON A HEAVY SLLEEPER
I would reccomend the overnight pull-up type (Goodnights). They have a larger capicity and look more like underwear. It is absolutely normal for a young boy to experience this. For some reason, boy's bladders simply don't grow at he same rate as the rest of them. He will outgrow this eventually. My next door neighbor potty trained early, but wore Goodnights until he was 9. If he is doing well during the day, maintain what you are doing during the day, and try to not worry much about the night. The less of a big deal you make about it, the better he will adjust. Good luck to you.
Yes put him back into pullups. He might be one f those kids that sleeps too soundly to notice he has to pee. It isn't his fault - nobody wants to do this. Don't punish him for it. Cut off his drinks early in the afternoon and nothing after supper.
No he will never learn if you do this. Go in and wake him up right before you go to bed an make him try to pee. Do this again around 3am then again at 6am. I know it's alot of work and you may be worried about him going back to sleep but it worked with my daughter at 3 now she's 5 and gets up on her own to do it.
Yes!
he could have an immature bladder read through the info on the link provided and dont worry he will out grow it in time,just use the goodnite pants to say loads of laundry and money on new sheets
Mine is way too young for me to give you advice on that one as she's still in pull ups at night, but if you don't want to be making the bed in the middle of the night, do the bed like so:
1 mattress protector
1 fitted sheet
1 mattress protector
1 fitted sheet
That way if he wets the bed, just pull the stuff out and he still has a dry bed to get back to and you don't stay up so long.
It also works for times when they are sick.
My brother stopped wetting the bed at 7 1/2, the first night my sister was sent on holiday camp. They'd never been apart. Seemed like he needed a shock of some sort.
Good luck
Yes, my son still wears them at night and he is 5.
I asked my doctor when do I address the issue and he said it could last until he is a teenager. My doc said it's hereditary. Come to find out my father-n-law did til he was a teenager. My doc also said no punishment and don't talk about it. It makes it worse. The only thing I make my son do is not drink after 6:30 and potty before bed. His best friend, who is also five has never had an accident. It can be frustrating, but every kid is different. Check with your family, I bet someone else had the same prob.
Best of luck!
Have you tried cutting off his liquids about 2 hours before bed? Make sure he gets plenty of liquids in the afternoon, but discourage drinking after dinner. Good luck!
I think it would be worse for him to be put back into pull ups at his age. Try the reward system and wake him up more frequently till the doctor can rule out physical problems.
My little girl is 6 and still wears a nappy at night, don't worry, they won't be in nappies at 21! Your worring about nothing, hes just a good sleeper like my little girl!
