Is using pullups healthy on a 9 year old who occassionally bedwets ?

Question

I was speaking to a parent over the weekend who puts pullups on their 9 year old child because they have accidents during the night. I nearly freaked out. Is this a very good idea?

Answer 1

I don't know about Pull ups but they do make Goodnites which are designed for older children who have the occasional accident. Maybe that's what they were talking about?

Unless you're wanting to change the bedding daily I don't think it's a bad idea. Plus, a 9 year old cannot feel very good about wetting the bed in the first place. At least with using a "pull up" they are given a little more confidence as it will not soak through.
