Underjams

Our son was 7 1/2 when he could finally stay dry through the night.
He wore pullups at bedtime until he woke up dry every morning for 2 weeks in a row.
Some of his friends were 11 or 12 before they were finished with pullups.
It's just a really common thing and it's totally normal.
There's no point in waking them up in the night.
It doesn't help their bladder mature any faster than it already is and everybody gets tired.
She should be able to change her sheets and pajamas and help with the laundry.
Keep a water proof mattress pad on the bed for a long time.
Just be patient.
She won't be going off to college and still be wetting the bed.

My son used them till about 7 or 8. We never stopped so it was just how it always was. My 4 year old wears them and hates them because "they are for babies" but he wets his everynight.

For occasional I would get the Underjam bed covers. They have sticky tape to tape to top sheet. You can throw away if peed on or just leave if not.

Underjams are the Pampers version of Huggies' Goodnights. They are simply the "big kid" Pull-ups/Easyups. My 4 year old uses them because he's outgrown Easyups.

They will not effect potty training. Night time dryness is not the same thing as potty training. It is a physiological development that she has no control over. She will grow out of it when her body is ready.

Personally, I would continue having her use the bathroom just before bed, but I would not wake her, I would not limit fluids at all and I would have her wear Underjams until she consistently wakes up dry. I would also tell her that this is completely normal, that other kids do this and that it's not something she can control.

She will grow out of it when she grows out of it. There's nothing you can do to hurry it along, so just be patient and know that you and she are doing nothing wrong.

If she is sleeping, she is not aware, so I wouldn't think it would affect her.

I used to babysit for a girl who wet the bed until she was 8 or 9. I am SO glad that are not "blaming" her. Her body just isn't ready.

I have a 9 year old too who wets the bed every night. The doc's only concern is that she's probably constipated.

Waking your child up doesn't really have any effect. When they wake up they tighten up that muscle group and don't go except for a small trickle if anything. They as soon as they go back into deep sleep they relax and pee. So it's pretty counterproductive. It trains them to not recognize the urge.

No one is supposed to wake up during the night to go pee, you're supposed to lay down, go to sleep, stay asleep, get up, go pee, and so forth. No one is supposed to wake up during the night to go, that usually means you have a pre-diabetes issue going on. Occasional waking up to go is okay but frequent waking is reason to visit with the doc and do a sugar test for diabetes.

This child likely needs to wear a pull up if you don't want to add a ton of laundry to your daily chores. By the time you add up the extra loads for just one bed every day you end up wishing you'd bought a $15 box of pull ups.

Underjams don't cut it for us. They are almost as bad as not wearing anything.

We get the overnight larger size pullups. The boys have buzz lightyear or some super hero on them and the girls have flowers.

They work really well. Very few leaks even if the flood themselves.

I also suggest you have the doc do an X-ray or ultra sound of her abdomen to see if she's full. The weight of the feces on her bladder will push the pee out as soon as she relaxes and goes to sleep.

Our doc gave my granddaughter a supplement that you mix in water that she is to take for a few days if she gets blocked up. This allows her to have more productive movements and she is less likely to go during her sleep.

This is not answering your question about underjams, but my seven year old had been wetting the bed about once a week. She's had a ton of holistic allergy treatments, and i felt like it was a food issue I couldn't put my finger on. We treated her for dairy, since that can be a bladder irritant, and she'd had some issues when she first ate yogurt, but that didn't help. Then a friend who also has kids with food issues said for them it was always gluten, so we treated that MONTHS ago and she's only wet the bed once since. We also treated calcium propionate at the same time, which is a preservative used in bread that's supposed to be a bladder irritant. So try to find a pattern to the bed wetting....is she eating a lot of dairy or bread or spicy foods on those nights? You can look up a list of bladder irritants....i'm thinking also cirus, chocolate, caffeine...good luck!
