The kid is 5. He is within the range of normal.

OP, I agree with all the advice to just let him keep wearing the pullup. Don't wake him up or try and night train him.

Check back in in 5 years! My 10 year old is still wet at night. Its developmental not learned. If he is wet and you don't want to wake up in the middle of the night or wash sheets, stick with the pull up.

You keep it until however long it takes. Night training cannot really be taught. It’s normal to have pull ups at 5.

Kids need their sleep at that age, more than they need to be urgently out of pull-ups or whatever.

If you're waking your child up at night to go to the bathroom - you're not 'nighttime' potty training them to do anything other than become reliant on someone else to handle their bathroom needs overnight.

Just let the kid sleep! Nighttime dryness isn't a learned thing, it's developmental. He'll get it eventually, let him rest and get a full nights sleep in the meantime. They make nighttime specific pull-ups for a reason.

Totally agree, and adults need sleep too!!

My kids were always the type that would keep using the pull up until it wasn’t available. At age 5 you could try a couple nights without it, then if he is not ready, wait a few months and try again.

Do you want to wash the sheets every night? Then keep the pull up on. I would start setting an alarm around 2 for him to get up and use the restroom. If that works and he wakes up dry for a couple of weeks, I'd get rid of the pull up.

Son is five now he daytime trained before he was two . He still wets at night most nights . I have had him not drink as much before bed and go to the bathroom a couple times before he goes to sleep . I know he's young yet should we be concerned about this or just keep waiting?
