Hey all...I have never posted here before but I need help...my son is 6 next month...he has never been dry at night and now the pull ups no longer fit him and he is leaking through them every night....he has started pooping and hiding it...can anyone advise who to ask for help with this? Regards
we used reusable nappies when my children where toddlers. they worked fine.
http://www.snuggleblanks.co.uk/ is a company started by a lady in a similar situation to yourself. She makes protective garments in sizes and with designs that might be appropriate while you seek a longer term resolution.
Other companies offer comparable products, with re-usable and disposable options, so hunt around and see what you can find.
I was incontinent of urine age 10 at night and 8 at school. It was humiliating, but came out of it myself, by my urethra maturing.
How did u manage potty training the the day time? My son is 5 an I can't get him to do anything on the potty he sits on it but doesn't do anything then he gets giddy. He also puts his hand in his nappy when he's done a poo . I don't know what to do. Have you tired dry night pull ups? They do 4 to 7 an 8 to 15 sizes
Hi NAS70859,
