I have come to terms with the fact that 5.5 year old DS will be in night-time pull-ups for a while to come. He is a very heavy sleeper and the pediatrician is not concerned.
However, he often wets through and I think that a big part of this is the amount of water that he has been drinking at night.He starts chugging water as we are putting him to bed and gets up during the night to get more. The frustrating part is that during the day he does not seem to drink a whole lot...I have tried reminding him to drink more during the day (thinking that this might make him drink less at night), but the bottom line is that there is not much I can do to control this.
I know that some, who are dealing with night time wetting, have talked about "limiting" water at night. Limiting DS's water will just make him want more...and this is just not a battle that I can deal with.
I think that it probably does not help that it is warmer than it should be in his room (because of our inefficient air conditioning grrrrr) and he is sleeping on a waterproof pad so he probably sweats more.
Do any of you have kiddos who drink a lot at night? Even though this really shouldn't be a big deal...I just don't want to be alone with it!
Thanks.
