we have been geting dry nights for ages. no problem they workd and dd is now dry (dependant on carer being on the ball) accidents happen but not often.(excluding nights)
they have now stopped getting dry nights. something to do with huggies.
so I was told she needed to be assesed. no problem nurse at her school has been trained and will do it.
oh yes it has gone on and on. and now nurse has rung and asked me all the same questions agin"have you tried pads" type thing. um yes dd pulls them out!
I am getting a wee bit fed up. I have a suppy but it will run out and the pullups they now send are too big and there is no smaller size.(excuse me whilst i go and bang my head against a brick wall.)

Continence nurse told DS4's teacher 'surely he should be toilet trained by now?'

I have invited her to come round our house and try toilet training him herself!

We get Tena pants, 12 bags normal for daytime and 3 bags super for nights.

and yes, the 'do you know how much they cost?' is mentioned........often!

I get curity sleep pants from the continence service. They are exactly the same as huggies dry nights just dont have the writing on the back. I know that different areas have different suppliers but it is worth asking

on your behalf, 2shoes

If it is of interest to anyone, I have 18 pull-ups to give to someone. They have not been used (obviously) but are not in their original wrapping because I used to tear the wrapping and keep them hidden in a 'nappy' box so my DD didn't get too embarrassed if they were around.

The make is Libero (as given by our local social services) and they are as good as Pamper/Huggies. My DD used to wear them at night (and during the day before she was trained) and they never leaked. They are unisex.

They are the 'large' size. My DD is big for her age but they fit her when she was 4.5 (but wearing clothes age 6/7).

If anyone is interested, contact me and I will post them to you.
