Question

Is it unheard of for a 9 year old boy to still need "night pants"?

Answer 1

No, its fine. They even make em for his age.

It could be because of extreme anxiety, take him to a phycologist if your really concerned.

Or something could be wrong with his bladder, take him to the doctor and tell him about it.

Don't let him drink anything and hour before bed time.

Before he goes to bed remind him to go to the bathroom.

hope this helps

Answer 2

No I would just have the DR. check him out and make sure everything is OK. Also exercising the bladder really can help. During the day just have him hold his pee as long as he can

Answer 3

It is not unheard of, but if it is a more than a once an awhile issue he may need to have it checked out by a doctor.

Answer 4

not at all.  my brother went through that for a while.  try waking him up once in the middle of the night and have him go to the bathroom.  a lot of times they're just in such a deep sleep that they don't realize that they need to wake up to go.  also, try not to have him drink too many liquids before he's about to go to bed.  other than that just wait it out.  chances are that he'll grow out of this.

Answer 5

While it isn't unheard of, it isn't too common of a problem.  As long as it just happens occasionally, I wouldn't worry about it too much.  I would limit him to not having anything to drink at least an hour before bed and make sure he goes to the bathroom before going to bed.  If it happens a lot, I'd take him to the doctor to have him checked out to make sure everything is okay.
