| Our older son is 9 and he still has a bedwetting problem . He wets most nights . We just have him wear goodnites and try to keep his confidence up . Our problem is his little brother is now trained day and night at 2.5 years old . We have been putting a pull-up on hom at night just to use them up and to not shame our older son . How do we handle this delicate situation ? |

| My kid finally stopped wetting at age 12. We used one of those night time underwear alarms. |

| He will outgrow it. Leave him alone. |

| My ds took forever. We tried everything short of meds. It just takes time bc once he hit 10 or 11 it changed 100%. Just use the pull ups until then. Make him go before bed etc. |

op here we do leave him alone and don't give him any grief over it . |

| I had the same situation but there was no embarrassment at all. Why does this embarrass the older child? Kids are different. |

| Op here it bothers him a little that his younger brother doesn't need them . It unfortunately runs in the family his dad and I both wet fairly late so the poor kid doesn't stand a chance . So trust me we treat it as no big deal . |

Just tell him everyone is different. This really isn’t a big deal. |

almost the same with my 12 year old, only had 2 accidents last month, and a few before that, hopefully I am almost done buying pull-ups. |

| Have a 8 year old son who still wets most nights . Goodnites stay on our shopping list for now . Easier to throw a pull-up away in the morning than deal with wet sheets. |

| Anyone kid still use regular diaper for overnight? We tried the pull-ups a couple times and the regular diapers hold up better overnight in our experience. Also they tend to be cheaper so that’s another plus. |

Therapee was amazing for us. We had several really tough nights and then, like a miracle, no more accidents. I think it is really hard to outgrow nighttime wetting when you are wearing a Pull-Up/GoodNite and not getting the normal cues that you have peed.
