Too old for nappies?

DD has just turned 4 and still wears a night nappy to bed. Is she too old for this? Should I look at night pants instead?

My DD is 5+6m and in nappies at night. Pull ups irritate her skin. She’s dry some times, gets up for the toilet, other times she’s too exhausted. There’s no rush, I didn’t rush my other DDs either.

What ones do you use?

We used Huggies pull ups and found them great. When we got rid of those, little one was five then got the Huggies bed mats that go on top of the mattress but under the fitted sheet in case of accidents, these were also really good.

I understand night urination is hormonal and it's common for it to occur up to 8 years old. If your child still has a wet nappy in the morning I wouldn't worry for now

This was years ago, so no advice for now.
One of mine was still wearing pull-ups at night when they started school.

I did pull ups as they can still go to the toilet, and they are more ‘grown up’.

What brand have you found best?
