Hi Nikki, the time between achieving being toilet trained during the day and achieving nighttime continence is quite variable. Some children do this fairly quickly while others take a little longer. Children who continue to wet do so as their bladder has just not yet matured to a point where it is able to store the amount of urine their body produces overnight. Once it does children usually stop wetting the bed. Until then I would recommend using DryNites rather than Pull-Ups. Pull-Ups are designed for daytime use and for toilet training therefore they are less absorbent and more prone to leak at night. DryNites have a much higher absorbency and are better suited for older children. If he continues to wet through these then it might be wise just to follow-up with your GP so you can rule out any possible underlying physical cause.
Regards,
Dr Cathrine
