[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it’s very uncommon to have 5-8 year olds who still wear diapers at night.[/quote]

Percentage of children who wet the bed at different ages

If you can read a graph you can see that over 15% of 5 year olds and 5% of 12 year olds have issues with bedwetting.

That is not "very uncommon".

My eldest is still in overnights at 10
My middle child has been dry since 3
My youngest is in overnights and at 5

Thank-you.  They do not have a big shelf of GoodNights in every grocery store because it is highly unusual to need them.  You are just not aware of kids who do![/quote]

Oh geez, PP, you completely missed the poster's point.  Needing Goodnites is NOT highly unusual.

Anyway, who buys diapers/pull-ups at the grocery store?  There's not a good selection of diapers of any size at any of the grocery stores I go to - the only people who buy at the grocery store are people who need them last minute so of course they don't stock everything.  Any Target has an entire aisle dedicated to diapers/pull-ups and will have a decent selection of Goodnites in all sizes.  I'm not saying the Goodnites section will be as big as the diaper aisle, but it's there because people buy them because it's totally normal for a 5 or 6 year old to still need them.  There is nothing wrong with that, and anyone who is going to shame a child for needing a pull up has their own problems.[/quote]
