Anonymous wrote:OP I think you're getting good advice here. My son is now 14 but was wet nightly until 11-12. We saw Dr. Kalloo at Children's who suggested dietary changes (constipation is often the culprit, and even if they poop every day they can be constipated). It's exhausting and lots of laundry, but he WILL outgrow it. The very best thing you can do is just ensure he's not embarrassed. We used to "double make" the bed with 2 sets of waterproof mattress covers/fitted sheets, so when he leaked (which was most nights) we just took the wet layer off and he could go back to sleep quickly. The alarm didn't work - he slept through it so it was too late. Stay patient and hang in there. This too shall pass.

I suppose I’ll keep the urology appointment in January just in case we need to rule out an underlying structural problem or condition.

My son is 75 lb and used the large GoodNites and sometimes it soaks through those! He is not overweight at all, just tall and takes after my husband who has a football player type build.

Good chance he’d still fit in the bigger sized diapers, they make ones specifically for overnight with leak locks and they really don’t leak. If he’s getting tired of having a wet bed you might ask him if he’d be willing to give them a try.

Also isn’t that what the GoodNites are? Bigger sized diapers.

yep XL they are size 14-20 or up 150+ pounds

Yeah, they are but the ones that have tape fasteners do a better job. They say over 45lbs, but with how much stretch they have I don’t think he’d have any trouble with them.

As a parent, its on you to do this so that your kid is not embarrassed. Otherwise, you can continue to make him wear diapers and have waterproof bedding....
