[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of my twins was in that same boat.  He was 7 and in night pants.  He brought light pajamas that were long loose pants and short-sleeve short.  He went to the bathroom and went to a stall to change.  The long  loose pants did not show the pull-up as much.  But, that was only a 1-night camp (it was a daycamp and the last night was an overnight).  After that, he "decided" he was ready to be night-time train and about 2 months later, he had all dry nights and was able to chuck the night pants.

This was after his twin brother was night trained around age 5.  This twin (the one that took longer) hates change and fights change until he is ready to do it himself.[/quote]

Bit of a specific question! But, are you able to *hear* the pull-up, if they're wearing it under loose pants? Do they sort of bulge out like a diaper would under PJ's..?

...and a final question, but do you have any suggestions on a brand/kind of night pant we should be buying? I have zero experience with shopping for something like this.

Greatly appreciate it! Sorry for all the questions![/quote]

No, you hear the nightpants rubbing against the tighter pajamas like this:

My son wore looser pants like this:

And under the loose pants, they don't rub as much and you don't hear them.  Plus, the looser pants don't show the pull ups.

As for which ones to get, you have to experiment with which ones fit your child better.  Each child's body is shaped slightly different and different brands will fit better for each child.  We had the best luck with Target's Up-N-Up NIghttime Underwear (in the purple box).  Some others like the Good Nites, but the Good Nites seem to be padded a little thicker and are more likely to show under the pants.  If your nephew is a heavy bedwetter, then you want the Good Nites for the extra padding and absorbency.  If a lighter wetter, then you can go with the Target ones which are a little thinner and less likely to show under the baggy pajama pants.  But I would suggest that you get some smaller packs of the different brands to try out at home and see which ones look better, fit better and absorb the appropriate amount.  You just really have to experiment to find the brand that works best for you and your nephew.[/quote]
