hes still in nappies at night is this wrong?

[dawnyb]

jacks will be 4 in june and still wears nappies at bedtime i have tried to get him out of them but i cant

When you say you can't, what do you mean? That he consistently wets the bed?

well if i try he will have sccreaming fits for hours so i kinda give in and go to nappy i know i know bad of me

nappy is wet thou in mornning

just wondered whens the best time to start??

or should i even try untill nappy is dry

sorry to go on lol

my dd1 was daytime dry at 2.2yrs but only dry at night last year at 4.1. Her nappies were properly wet every morning despite limiting evening drinks and getting her to have a wee before bedtime.

Then one night, she fell asleep on the sofa and we forgot to put one on her and she woke up dry! After a couple of months of hit and miss (we ended up lifting her onto the loo when we went to bed), she became properly dry and now at 4.8 hasn't had an accident for about 4 months.

When you say he screams, is that because he wants the nappy on? Is he scared of wetting the bed?

It sounds like he isn't ready, bless him. Boys can take one hell of time to get used to toilet training.

I think you're right to wait until his nappy is dry or much drier than it is now. The mechanism that prevents him from weeing in his sleep obviously hasn't kicked in yet, and there's not much you can do about that.

So, don't beat yourself up about it. As you were, dawnyb

Lots of kids aren't dry at night until after they start school. Wait until he is ready rather than force it. Would definitely leave it if the idea distresses him but then I believe in the benefitrs of a good night's sleep !

screams cos he wants nappy on

ah great thank for your help

think personally would try without for a couple of nights. ds admitted he weed in nappy just because it was on.

if you think he likes the nappy for ease, could you try something like a reward chart - you wouldn't need to start off with a star/sticker/whatever for being dry all night as that's not realistic, but for trying without a nappy?

My DS1 will be 4 soon, and is still in nappies at night. If your DS wakes up with a wet nappy, then I don't think he's ready imo.

My 4 year old boy still in nappies at night too - have tried a few times to leave them off without success - he gets very upset when he wets the bed.

He wakes up every morning with a wet nappy and says the 'wee comes out too fast' for him to stop it at night. He's a very heavy sleeper (like his mum)and just can't wake up in time. Have decided to stop stressing - health visitor says it's completely normal for boys - so just going to keep trying every now and again. I'm sure they all get there in their own sweet time, and yours will be no different. Seems to be very very common with boys so really, I'd stop worrying if I were you. HV told me it's not a medical problem til they are at least 7!

dd nearly five has to be lifted every night.

she has on the odd occasion got herself up but she is not dry.

we did try not lifting and that got us nowhere either.
