Go your DC wear underwear in bed?

Just wondered as DS1 has (eventually) grown out of wearing pull-ups at night (he is only 4.5 Wink). He was very excited about being able to wear his underpants to bed so he wore them last night....do your DC wear underpants/knickers under their PJ's or not?

Nope - no underpants under pyjamas for my 6, almost 7 year old DS.

Mine don't but my niece does. For a girl I think it would be important to let some "air in". I am not sure with a boy.

My 8y Dd always wears pants under her nightie. Her choice. Doesn't seem to have caused her any problems.

Girl yes, boy no. I have no idea how they made their choices, or why.

Let them do what they want to do - it really doesn't matter either way.

Ok, just wanted to check that there isn't a health issue/reason why he shouldn't wear underpants.

I never put my DS in undies - have enough things to wash as it is without new pair every bedtime too Grin

DS2 and DS3 sleep nekkid, purely their choice over ours!

No pants here.

The only exception was when we went on a family holiday and dd2 (then 6) had a short summer nighty - I insisted on pants to avoid embarrassing Grandpa with any bottom-flashing incidents.
