Dr Cathrine Answered:

It is not uncommon for children your son’s age to still be wetting the bed on a regular basis; bedwetting is far more common among boys than girls, as boys bodies tend to take a little longer to mature. In saying this it is always a good idea to have your son checked by his GP just to rule out any underlying medical cause. Pull-Ups are specifically designed for helping children through the toilet training process and therefore offer lower levels of absorbency than DryNites. Given the issues you are experiencing with leakage I would graduate into DryNites, he is likely to prefer these as they are designed to appeal to older children, looking more like an underpant.

Dr Cathrine
