5 & 6 year old girls still in pull-ups?
I have 2 girls, one is 5 & the other is 6. They're both still wearing pull-ups. I know I've heard many times that kids should be potty trained by 3 or 4, but my daughters like wearing pull-ups & want to keep wearing them. So my question is: Is it ok to let my daughters keep wearing pull-ups, even though they're alot older than the normal potty training age, because they like them? I don't know why they still want to be in pull-ups, but they do, for some reason or another!
Should I make my 13-year-old kid wear a night-time diaper for wetting the bed? He has no bladder problems. I tried everything with him but I just give up.
Some good replies to this question. Especially Jonathan’s post.Bed wetting and diaper use - Bedwetting solutionsIf, you have tried everything and are now asking about diapers, my question would be why have you not been using them all along. What is it that frightens you about diapers. Oh forgive me they are disgusting. They do not have to be. They are what you make them and helping your child is what is most important.Of all the other ideas like, drugs waking at night no fluids before bed or how humiliating and degrading to make your child sleep in a pee soaked bed all night then to make them wash their own sheets every day, hoping that their bed will be dry by bed time. As well as the ultimate humiliation of the lingering smell of urine to permeated the child’s room. Why would a parent put their child through all of that, especially drugs? How can a parent hurt their child like this? If you have taken your child to the doctor and found nothing physically wrong then for God’s sake let your child grow and mature at their own rate.I’m sorry I do not understand why a parent would do these things. Is it that your child humiliates you that much? Is it that sister “Bertha Better Than You” has a child who does not wet the bed. And, hopefully you do not have a doctor who says your child is just lazy, if so get a real doctor who really cares about your child. I’m sorry these types of thinking are truly sad.Talk to your child about the use of diapers you do not have to force them on your child just get them to try them at least for a week. You as the parent have to think positive there are so many benefits here. First of all it is a way for you to continue the parent and child bonding when you diapered them when they were little what a fantastic idea. Reinforce they are dealing with their situation in a grownup way NOT in a baby way. And never humiliate them. Please read the benefits of diapers posted at the URL above.
Should I make my son wear pull-ups at night or just continue letting him wet the bed?
My son is 14 and he was just diagnosed with a bladder problem that makes him wet the bed every single night. I keep having to change his sheets and clean his mattress every single day. It is a pain in the neck! I also have a concern: I am worried that this constant bedwetting without something to speed the wetness away and absorb will make his skin develop a bunch of itches in the middle of the night that will keep him up and make him miserable. I have been trying to convince him to wear pull-ups at night, but he will not. So, should I make him wear pull-ups at night whether he likes it or not or just continue letting him wet and get big rashes?
6 year old still wears diapers at night?
Tell your mom its okay for her to still wear diapers at night, I know an 8 year old boy who has to wear pull-ups but he's fine throughout the day. The bladder is still developing as well cause my 4 year old still wets her pull-up at night even if I limit drinks or not. My 4 year old was high maintenance when she was younger and she kinda still is. lol what i did, i just took the bottle away and let her cry it out. It might not work for your mom, cause every child is different, but what i can suggest is take her to the park and let her play in the late afternoon before dinner that way shes got time to wind-down or take her swimming. That always helped my daughters sleep REALLY good at night, they were so wore out, they just wanted something to eat, get a bath, and go to bed. Fresh air and running and playing, and a nice warm bath always helps a child go to sleep easier. But kudos to your mom for being a single parent and doing what she can for you and your sis. Don't let anyone tell you ur mom is a bad parent. More than likely they don't know what its like to raise a child or didn't have high maintenance children, thats how i like to describe a child who can be difficult at times cause they want things to be their own way and headstrong. nobody is allowed to judge other parents cause raising children ain't easy, i don't care who you are. I've got 2 girls and I'm still asking my mom for advice :) My oldest is still high maintenance lol but i hope this helps, if not maybe a doctor has some more suggestions
My 6 year old son still has to wear diapers at night; I got mean comments from family when they learned this.?
Some kids bladders develope slower than others, if he was wearing diapers all the time I would see a need for concern. But for a 6 year old to wear diapers while they sleep is perfectly normal, next time they say something maybe just tell them not to make those comments, and that is your son they are talking about. Or like the person above said pick your son up and walk away, but I would give them a look first to signify that you are not pleased with the comment.
When will my baby start wearing pull-ups?
Depends on each child. My son is 4 and potty trained during the day but at night still wears diapers. I prefer regular tape tab diapers over the pull-up diapers because of the fit and absorbency. Plus I have heard other mothers use the pull-up diapers during the day and then regular tape diapers at night. So I would keep an open mind to what diaper YOU want your child to be wearing.
My six year old little brother is being made to wear pull ups by the school because he can't make it to the bathroom, are they actually allowed to force us to put him in them?
Pull ups are great, and can be used discretely with nobody else knowing about them - they will save this little boy from the humiliation and embarassment of peeing himself in class, which is the sort of thing children can remember for their whole lives.Why wouldn’t you want to spare him?My son was in pull-ups at night until he reached 7 years old, because he consistently couldn’t make it to a toilet in time. Boys in particular reach true continence at different rates, and can be quite normal in every respect but delayed in achieving full control, especially at night.Legally, in the UK at least, a school cannot insist on pull-ups, but I cannot see for the life of me why you would object to a measure aimed at preserving his dignity?
What age do kids usually stop wearing pull-ups?
Mine were all trained around 3 1/2 so they wore pullups until I knew they wouldn't pee in bed. Probably close to 4. After they went SEVERAL(a couple weeks probably) times in a row, and didn't pee in the pullups during the night, then I tried them in underwear. To be safe I put some plastic under their sheets. I have 3 kids btw...2 boys and a girl. She trained MUCH faster. Good luck! :)
How do I stop my 13 year old son from taking his pull ups off in his sleep?
I am assuming there is a medical reason that you and his doctors already know about so I am not going to tell you, “you have to take him to the doctor.”This is a hard question. Does your son take them off because he doesn't like them? Is he really ‘asleep’ when he takes them off or does he wake up and doesn't like them? Is he taking them off after they are wet or before an accident even happens? I have such little information I don't want to assume anything.If you are able, I would have a conversation with your son. Talk to him about why he has to wear them, talk to him about not wanting to constantly have to change the bedding, talk to him about how he will smell. Ask him if there is anything you can do to make him more comfortable with the them. If he is embarrassed, tell him it's not his fault. Never make jokes about it. Even if they are just joke and you are only kidding they can really hurt.If talking is not an option, setting an alarm during the night and waking up to check on him and make sure he is still wearing them or wake him up to use the bathroom may be the best option. At his age I can't imagine anything you do could keep him from taking them off but maybe eventually he will get tired of his sleep being interrupted every night by you checking on him and making him out them back on, that he will just quit.I'm sorry I couldn't be much help. Best of luck.
