ds has autism but I thought I'd post this here anyway as tips for younger kids may be applicable to him.
He is 6.8 and probably about the size of a 7 year old. At the moment I put him in two nappies at night as one isn't absorbant enought. Have been using Lidl nappies as they are cheap and have quite wide straps. However am strugging as the straps just aren't long enough and often break as I am putting them on. Obviously I want to train him but probably going to leave it till the warmer weather so in the short term am looking for advice for where to get large enough nappies to fit. The trainer pant things are useless as they aren't absorbant enough and leak down the sides.
Next stage - starting training. He said he would like a potty in his room. We don't have a toilet upstairs (due to house renovations) and the nearest toilet involves a long walk. Again the problem is finding a potty that is big enough for him. Problem also being a boy is that he stands up to wee. I can get him to sit down though but needs a wide bowl so he doesn't miss/spill - any suggestions? Actually looked at commodes on eBay but they are too big! (can't win!) Problem being he tends to drink a lot in the evening ... not sure how to tackle that one! I know he could be dry as we went out Sat night and he hardly drank anything and went to bed late and was dry in the morning.
Finally (sorry for long post). Any tips on how to help with dryness. He will be referred to enuresis clinic when he turns 7 anyway.
Thanks.
