you could try size 7 diapers if he's small enough, i hear they work better than goodnites.[/quote]

It's been years since my kids were in diapers, but the OP said her kid was 7. I seriously doubt a kid that age would fit in a diaper, not I don't think at that age they'd agree to wear something that goes on like that, as opposed to the convenience of  slipping on a pull up.

OP, does the kid wake up when an accident occurs? Aren't the goodnites just like larger sized pull ups? I'd just leave a stack of them in his room, and tell him that if he wakes up for any reason in the MOTN, check and see if his goodnite is soggy, if so - swap it out for a fresh one before going back to bed after wiping off.

I think giving him some independence and responsibility to manage this for himself will help immensely and give him self esteem for handling things himself.[/quote]

I have been holding off posting to this thread as I don’t usually post on the bedwetting threads for one reason or another but decided to chime in here.

I too have 3 kids. All boys. We have potty trained them all the same including night training. The older 2 were out of diapers and dry at night by 3. My youngest who is 7 still wets every night, and has his entire life. We have done no diapers and lifting at night, setting alarms, double and triple voiding before bed, no liquid after a certain time, you name it. I think some kids are just different. As for a 7 year old fitting in a diaper I guess it just depends on the kid but most 7 year olds I’m around are like my son and skinny as a toothpick. My son still fits in a diaper easily. And yes goodnites are just like a bigger pull-up and a pull-up is just like a diaper that pulls on. The difference is goodnites are more expensive than pull-ups, and pull-ups are more expensive than diapers. Also diapers seem to hold more. Or maybe they just fit better. We have tried both goodnites and regular pull-ups which leaked a lot. Maybe it depends on how you approach the situation but my son doesn’t mind diapers at all. He’s not embarrassed in the least to wear them. He is a very confident kid though. Maybe some kids would be different. I’m just glad mines not. [/quote]
