I am trying to stop my son from wearing diapers to bed at night but i am having a hard time.?

It is normal to continue to wet at night for a while. Some children are just very deep sleepers, and nothing you do will make a difference. You can certainly try stopping his fluid intake at least 2 hours before bedtime and making sure he goes to the bathroom right before bed, but it may not make a difference.

My oldest wore diapers to bed (and soaked them) every night until she was almost 4. Then she decided she didn't want to wear diapers to bed anymore, so we let her sleep in undies. We spent 2-3 months changing the bed nearly every night before it started to get better. Then she still had accidents once a week or so for several more months.

My husband actually remembers wetting the bed at age 6-7, and he tried everything not to do it. He just finally stopped when his body was ready.

My youngest still wets his diaper almost every single night, and he's 3 1/2. He's had a couple dry nights, but they've been few and far between. Maybe this summer, I'll let him try to go without a diaper again, and we'll make a real effort if he's interested. But if he's still fine wearing diapers, I'll let it go.

There are plenty of kids still in nighttime diapers at age 4-6 and even older.

You don't say how old he is, but if he is four or older, it's time for him to take some responsibility as well. Give him a stack of old towels for his room, if he wets the bed, he can, without waking you, put a towel on the mess and go back to sleep, then get up and take care of his own bedding in the morning.

Leave a potty chair in his room, and let him sleep naked from the waist down, that way if he has to go at night, there is nothing in his way.

He is also old enough at that age to fetch the clean sheets and blankets, and help you make his bed. It isn't punishment, either, it's just life. You make a mess, you clean it up. It's that simple.

If he is five or older, take him to the doctor. There is a nasal spray that can help bed-wetters. There is a hormone that reduces the production of urine at night, and some people don't make enough of it, the nasal spray, used properly, will help his body learn to make more of that hormone. If you choose this path, know that if you don't use the spray EXACTLY as directed, you will create more problems, so don't use it until you are ready to commit to the course of medication.

Stop ALL liquid intake 3-hours before bed time and make sure he empties his bladder right before going to bed. Then, only put training pants on him. You can also buy 'mattress protectors' just in case.

Try to limit fluids but not too much, if he's thirsty then he needs a drink! How old is he? Could you get him to use the loo/potty if he needs to pee during the night? Failing that, he needs to shout you to help him to pee.......

I intend to leave my boy in night nappies until he's about 5 ha ha haa.

If he still wets the bed, then he probably still needs to wear diapers to bed.

I would just limit his pre-bed intake of fluids.

I do, however, highly recommend a mattess protector. It can be bought @ Wal-Mart and is plastic on one side, quilted on the other. It'll save your nerves and his mattress!
