5 in Sept and still pooing at night and wearing nappy in bed! What to do, help needed please

[nickname2]

My grandson is 5 in September and still pooing at nighttime when in bed. He still wears a nappy at bedtime. Starting school fulltime in September.
He knows he has done it, cos tells mum and dad he has a pooey bum!
any suggestions on how to get him out of this please.

we now understand a lot more about being dry at night. In order for a child to be a dry at night they need to have a big enough bladder and produce a hormone that slows down urine production. You can not teach this. Children often go backwards when big life changes happen. (moving house starting school, parents splitting up a new sibling) so starting to get him dry by lifting him may not be worth the effort until he is in school full time.

Pooing is a difficult one as shouting and getting cross can be counter productive as children can easily become constipated which is far worse. Star charts and encouragement to do it in a toilet can be a better approach.

Your grandson is normal and most children will not be dry at night drs don't refer for tests until about 8

thanks Castleonthehill. Both mine (20 odd years ago !!) didnt have this problem so Im abit out of it.

Take nappies off him or he will never learn
