DS1 is 5 and still wears a nappy at night. I don't have a problem with this as not all children are dry through the night at this age and there is a history of bed wetting in the family. If he simply isn't ready, I'm fine with that!
What has made me concerned is that during the week (when he is at school) his nappies are really heavy in the morning/so full they sometimes leak in the night, however at weekends we find that there is only a small amount of wee in the nappy or it is dry. Over half term for example, he had at least 4 dry nappies and the rest where only a little wet. Since going back to school, he has had very heavy nappies and a couple of 'so much they leaked' ones. Weekend was better.
DS has settled well into reception, loves his teacher, loves his after school club (to the point it takes him ages to actually leave when I pick him up!!) and has plenty of friends. We don't have in depth conversations about school, DS is the type of boy who says 'fine' when asked how school was and can never remember what he's done - but this is no different to when he was at nursery. I don't think there are problems there...
DH thought it might be to do with the fact that he is tired from school and sleeps deeper but DS has never got up in the night to go for a wee, even when he has had dry nappies. During half term he went to a sports thing where he did sports all day but still managed some dry nappies.
DS is starting to get a bit upset when he has his heavy nappies/leaks. I think this is partly because he has had some dry nights and becuase DS2 (just turned 3) is dry more nights than not.
Has anybody got similar experience or advice? Not sure if I should talk to the school about it - I don't think he has any problems there and he would be mortified to think his teacher knew he still wore nappies.
