during the day max wears underpants, but at night or during nap time i put pull ups on him. i've heard different opinions about pull ups, but was wondering what your opinion is. do you do the same for your lo?

I used pull ups at bed time and nap time.  I thought pull ups would leak in the night but it was a good way and a good starting point to limit drinks during the day and get into a routine to stop wet beds when they wear pants in bed.

Rachel has her last drink between 5pm and 6pm with her tea.  She then has time to go to the loo a couple of times before lights out at 7pm.

I still use pull ups for Joshua at night and he has been dry for ages during the day. At first they were really wet but did not leak at all, now I have most mornings where they r so dry and sometimes a little wet. Everytime he asks to go without his pull up on something happens and he resorts back to bed wetting and gets himself so upset. I have only ever let him go without a pull up for a couple of weeks the other month but we are back into pull ups now. Once I get his balance of meds right for sleeping I will try (if he still wants to) and let him go to bed without a pull up. He naps without and wakes if he needs a wee

Till Max has mastered daytime training I would keep hiom in his pull ups for bed. I think pull ups work better than nappies as they still feel its like big boy pants xxx

it's rare that max wets his pull ups at night. so i trust that's a good thing. do you think it's a good idea putting them on lo for daytime naps also?

okay thanks for all your advice-you have put my mind at ease.

no max doesn't wee himself (alot) during nap time, but i admit to putting him in pull ups, just in case!!  i won't from now on. i s'pose there's only way he's gonna learn.
