Pull-ups or No Pull-ups?

That's my question.

Tre has been potty trained for over six months. He wears pull-ups at night and definitely goes in them, but I noticed that if I put a pull-up on 5 minutes before naptime, he'll go in them before I put him down. It's like he just goes in them because he knows he can.

I thought that was what he was doing at night too, and for the first 3 nights he proved that. The past three nights, though, he has had an accident around the same time. I have to admit that last night I did give him so water to drink in bed (he BEGS and sometimes I just don't have the energy to say no), so tonight he will get no water. I will see how that works. If he still has an accident around 11pm, I might debate waking him up and getting him to go. We shall see.

I REALLY REALLY don't want to buy pull-ups anymore. It gets so expensive, especially with William in diapers!

  1. So, I haven't tried these yet because we aren't to that point yet, but Logan wears cloth diapers and when I was researching them, I found out that there are these wool covers out there. It's not the scratchy wool that you are thinking about, more like a t-shirt feel but wool is super absorbant. You could try them as an alternative to pull ups. They would go over his regular undies I think or they have training pants too that can hold a small accident. You would just need to invest in 2-3 of them if it is just at night and it would give you some added comfort that he's not going to soak the bed, but he'll still be able to feel that he is wet so it won't hinder his potty training.
