I know what you mean, I have heard this same thing before from kids who find the overnight pull-ups “itchy” and it seems to be how they are manufactured. The side fastening diapers might help alleviate that issue. Once he gets used to it as part of his bedtime routine he will see it’s no big deal. Good luck with it.

I know what you mean. I’ve heard this from kids before that the overnight pull-ups seem “itchy” and I think it’s the way they are manufactured. They have an inner seam that kids find uncomfortable. I would try using a side fastening diaper instead and see if that makes a difference. If you just pre-tape it loose he should be able to pull it on himself and then you can adjust it as necessary.

Yea that’s a problem.

Nope. It’s a medical issue and will resolve in time. And some kids are very deep sleepers.

The actress/comedian Sarah Silverman was a bed-wetter later into adolescence and wrote a brilliant book about it. It shouldn’t be stigmatized.

It doesn’t sound like your home would be one of the supportive ones, so you obviously shouldn’t just a child with these issues, but I wouldn’t bat an eye.
