op here that's the way our son is healthy in every way but still needs a pull-up at night . Some family and friends say we're enabling him by using pull-ups still I thi k he would wake up wet even if we didn't use them .

Would you rather have him waking up in a wet bed? It’s a basic matter of hygiene that he needs to wear protection at night. Reassuring him he is still a big kid will help his self confidence.

I wish the Goodnites would come in a smaller size. With my daughter just turning 9, she is super skinny and its difficult to find a product suitable for her size. I have tried all the off-brands and they are geared for older kids which I totally understand, thats what they are designed for but they should market to those parents with smaller(not younger) kids. I have emailed different companies with my concerns and suggestions and have only received pre-written replies basically saying thank you for your suggestion. My daughter has even expressed her thoughts to me to find something she can wear to help her stay dry ALL night.

They do, they're just called 'nighttime pull-ups':

I am shocked that they are in stock, don’t see them in stock when I go there.

I was hoping she stopped before she turned 9 but unfortunately i dont see her stopping any time soon. I know its not her fault but I am still overwhelmed sometimes. Just curious on how everyone here manages it with their older one.

Ds turns 10 tomorrow and he still wetting the bed at least 6 nights a week . We just have him wear goodnites and go on about our lives. We just buy them for him and put them in his closent when he gets low . The only time we discuss it is if he leaks which seldom happens.

I also have her wear a goodnite to bed. Unfortunately, we get leaks here though. Not every night but I would say 1-2 times a week on average. She just helps me with the sheets in the morning. I wish she would tell me she is low on them. Just last week I didn't know she was out so I had to make an emergency run to Walmart.

She takes it all in stride and doesn't let if affect her emotionally. Yes, she would rather not wear one she but prefers to avoid waking up in a wet bed. We do limit her fluids before bed and I am shocked that she is completely soaked by the morning.

Op here he doesn't always tell us either there has been several late night runs to dollar general cause Walmart closed . I think there embarrassed by it so they don't say when there low .

You have a fantastic point, my sister was born in 2008, and i remember when she was younger about 5 or 6 she used to wear night time “pull-ups” now I noticed with my own 6 year old daughter that they no longer sell “pull-ups” nighttime. I think they have to 3-4. And they have potty training ones but they don’t hold a lot, we don’t have any issues fixing in the Small goodnites but they are more pricey than pull-ups

Is it an accident while asleep or does it happen because they waited too long to go to the bathroom?

alseep. They can be dry for 3-4 months, then a randomly accident. No longer needs pullups but have plastic sheets just in case. 12 year old, stopped having weekly accidents at 10 and now has a accident every now or then at 12, so not sure if it counts.

I’ve babysat for multiple elementary school age kids that still needed nighttime protection, it’s extremely common. One kid was almost 10, perfectly healthy and still had pull-ups. Don’t feel bad about it, they will outgrow it.

DS stopped at 9.5 and DD stopped at 8.5. Their father wet the bed until he was 10. Both kids have sleep apnea which likely contributed.

Dd is 15 stoped at 3 ds is 9 still wears a pull-up to bed wet 4 to 5 times a week . Dr said he'll get there not to worry .

If your child is still having multiple accidents a week they should wear protection at night. In my experience the regular diapers seem to hold up better overnight. They make sizes for bigger kids, mine can still easily wear a size 7.

We've had a gauntlet, with this going differently for each of our three kids.

Oldest is turning 8 in Feb, and still wets the bed maybe 2-3 times a week on average. But he's completely random. Some weeks it's only 1 night out of 7, other weeks it's every single night. There's no rhyme or reason.

Middle son just turned 5, and is still in diapers at night. We can't even get away with pull-ups, because he pees right through them, each and every night.

Youngest is 3, and actually started staying dry at night even before we really started potty training, back when he was 2.5. No pushing on our part, he just kept waking up dry!

So we've got one kid that occasionally has issues, one where it's an every night thing, and one that's been totally dry, full stop.

...which is to say! I have no advice at all. Because we're still in the midst of it ourselves!
