[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]1. Why is he in a diaper and not something like a night time pull up or Goodnites? Those hold more.[/b]

DS actually asked for us to go back to diapers after we'd been using nighttime pull-ups for a few months. For some reason, we found that Goodnites actually leaked MORE than the standard night pull-ups (which also leaked frequently). Diapers generally haven't leaked for us, as long as I'm able to find the brand we typically use in his size.

[b]2. Wake him up and change his pull-up and take him to the bathroom before you go to sleep.[/b]

I may start doing this. Although I'm generally a wimp and go to bed quite early these days.

[b]3. Some kids just take longer - my kid was a very deep sleeper and a nighttime pee would NOT wake her up, even if she was wearing underwear. Even a bedwetting alarm did not wake her up. We just had to wait it out. That said, it sounds like your kid, if he wakes up at night and asks you to change him, is ready for a bedwetting alarm. Try it.[/b]

I should have been more clear in the OP, sorry. But it is VERY unusual for DS to be waking up at night, for any reason at all. My concern is more that he's waking up every. single. morning. with a swollen huge diaper. Like, I can count on one hand the amount of times he's woken up dry in his life.

Totally normal.  My kid is ten and has never woken up dry.   NEVER.  It runs in our family for males, and they all grow up to be great, healthy, normal adults.   You can train this, so just buy stock in Proctor Gamble and wait it out.   [/quote]
