I have 6 year old twin boys who still wear diapers at night;when should they start to wake up dry?

Question

They both just turned 6 and have never had dry nights ever, it is startin to concern me a bit.

Answer 1

I think it is time to consult your doctor to find out if there is a medical problem.  None of my kids have had a wet night after they turned three.

Answer 2

Have you done the whole not drinking anything for a few hours before bedtime and going to the bathroom before getting in bed thing. might help if not. I wouldn't worry yet could just be they're sleeping to soundly to wake up when its time to go.

Answer 3

My son wet the bed every night up until about a year ago and he is going to be 10 in October. I took him to the doc and they said there was nothing wrong. I would advise you take them to the doc just to make sure there is nothing wrong, but boys do take longer than girls to adapt to this kind of thing. I just bought pull ups for him (it wasn't expensive since he was only using one a night) and I never called them diapers. He grew out of it on his own and hasn't wet the bed since. Good luck to you, I know how frustrating it can be, but just know your little ones are not alone in this.

Answer 4

Don't worry; I had this problem with my son, Matt. Although, I would advise you to see a doctor, as I did, although quite often it's just something they'll grow out of. You can buy "diapers" for kids with this problem, (don't call them diapers, it makes them feel like babies) , one of the brands is Drynites, which I don't think were around when Matt was a kid, but anyhow. They can be expensive, but it, as they say in the ad "Discreetly manages it," which it does. You'll have to wait! Don't worry. They grow out of it.
