How often is he having the nighttime accidents? How are you managing it?

If you give him a lot to drink right before bed is he more likely to have an accident? Try it for a few nights and see how he does.

I would at least give the Goodnites a chance, have him wear one at home so he can get used to it and find out it doesn’t look any different underneath his pajamas than his regular underwear. I’ve babysat for older kids who still use them and I can’t tell when they have them on underneath.
