[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm confused. If the kid can wake up enough to know he needs to go to the bathroom, why does he need to be wearing diapers at all? [/quote]

OP here again.

For the most part, he primarily has accidents in the night when he's completely out of it and 100% asleep. The discussion we had about him going when he's awake--is actually a fairly uncommon thing for him. He does NOT typically (possible TMI here) have one or two 'major' accidents in the night. Rather it's more often than not, numerous (12+ or more a night, easily) small, tiny 'leaks' that happen all throughout the night. I'm not sure if this means anything necessarily? But--with him asking if he would be allowed to 'go' without running to the toilet--we're talking about a very, VERY small amount of pee.

I seriously think, in his eyes--from a couple of quick talks we've had about this in passing-- he gets upset about the expectation that he get up and run to the bathroom, as we did with the pull-ups... when he knows he *typically* will only pee a very small amount.[/quote]

PP from before.

I dont know this child's full background, but no kid should be getting up that often in the night feeling like they need to run to the bathroom. He needs to be getting sleep at that age. Is he actually in diapers yet? You need to be the parent, and put aside worrying about hurting his feelings or embarrassing him for a while, and tell him that it's OK to use his diaper in the night if he wakes up and needs to go for right now. A full night's sleep is more important at his stage of development than aiming for dry night diapers. [/quote]
