Shut up mom of toddler who doesn't know what she's talking about.

Actually only 20 percent of five year olds and ten percent of six year olds are not night trained and there are many medical opinions that pull ups delay night training. Are you sure you are not just being lazy op?

Oh my god, you really ARE a clueless mom of toddler, aren't you? I'm not OP but I have a 6 year old who is an extremely heavy sleeper and wets the bed whether she is wearing a pull up or not. After 10 straight nights of waking up to a soaking wet, crying, cold child (who literally slept through peeing herself), we went back to Goodnites. So shut up you horrid shrew.

Look I’m just citing what many medical experts say. Pull ups can delay night training. There’s no reason to be so sensitive.

I had a 7yo heavy sleeper who was still waking up with heavy overnight diapers size 6, despite limiting fluids, etc. The few times she didn't have a diaper, she'd soak the sheets and not wake up. Only once recently did she wake up dry w/o a diaper.

After many discussions with spouse, we decided to do away with the diapers. I was skeptical and wanted to do an alarm, but he wanted to try it. We did a dream pee at 11. Lots of stripping off top layer of sheets in the middle of the night or morning, and lots of laundry.

After lots of sleep disruption over several weeks, we started to see that she was staying dry sometimes. After several months, we finally stopped the dream pee. A year and a half later, she's always dry at night.

I don't know if the no-diaper intervention helped hasten things, or whether she was outgrowing it anyway. Just our anecdote.

My kids are tweens so I’ve actually BTDT. The good nights are not as protective as overnight diapers.

PP here, lol thanks. It was spouse's idea. This effing ruined our sleep for months--I felt like I was back in the haze of having a newborn. But yeah, kid is looking forward to going to sleepaway camp for the first time this summer, with no concerns about soaking through.

^^and that was not me above so I’m not sure who you called a shrew. Just saying get overnight diapers if you want max absorbency. If they aren’t waking up they don’t need to be in a pull up that they can pull down anyway.

Adding one more vote for target brand.

We had luck with the largest good nights and a booster/maxi pad to add capacity

We ultimate had great like with a night alarm (malem) but that was when DS was still not dry at night at 7-8

Hey, clueless...if a 5 year old is wetting the bed, it's most likely from an immature bladder, which isn't uncommon. And this was known LONG before pullups were ever invented

OP, I'd size up the goodnights. And this will pass. I had a kid who wet the bed till about this age-then all of a sudden, she was dry. I used pullups, mattress protector and NO shame. She just had to mature.

Maybe your child was one of that ten percent. Maybe not. With 7 year olds in pull ups we will never know.

And so what? All the kids wind up night trained and none of the parents got a trophy for how it happened.

I disagree. This seems like stupid parenting to me. Why literally lose sleep over something you cannot fix? I mean if you had said it was 2 weeks and then she was good, that's one thing, but a year and a half?? That is crazy talk.

Well I for one would rather do the hard work instead of having an elementary aged child in diapers for longer than absolutely necessary.

They do make washable pullups for bedwetting, if you don't want the disposable ones. I don't know how well they work, but they are available.
