Help! 5.5yr old DS still poos and wees in pullups at night

We've tried everything, not using pull ups, waking him up, books about toileting, bribes, making sure path to toilet it well lit... the list goes on. He says he does it whist he's asleep but I don't know for sure if that's the case. This happens pretty much everyday and I'm tired and fed up of cleaning up poo in the middle of the night and/or the morning. We've had him sat on the loo before bed but he can't go. Does anyone have any success stories before we take him to the doctors? Thanks.

Visit the GP, he will be put on the waiting list for the continence nurse.

Meanwhile try not to worry and wait it out, he may outgrow it himself.

Agree, he needs to see the GP.

There's a charity called ERIC who have loads of great advice to do with children and going to the loo. There might be something helpful on their website.

I prefer to keep my girl in nappies for as long as possible currently she is 3yo and i am not planning on potty training her yet.
