my son is 6 and is wetting 3 to4 times a night. alot of the times the pull ups do not work.. I have tried every nappy, pull-up in every size and shape. It is frustrating for me and my son is getting more embarrassed, he hides the pull-ups. frustrated mother
Hi Rachael, firstly I would recommend trying DryNites rather than Pull-Ups, these are specifically designed for nighttime use and are much more absorbent than Pull-Ups which are really only suitable for children who are toilet training. Some children who wet the bed at night do so as their bodies do not produce enough of the ADH hormone, which reduces the amount of urine produced by the kidneys. When ADH levels are low children continue to produce the same amount of urine at night as they do during the day resulting in a wet bed. Children’s urine output is quite variable however if you are at all concerned about the amount of urine he is producing then you should speak with your GP who can runs some tests just to make sure there is no underlying physical cause.
Regards,
Dr Cathrine
