Boys in pull-ups

Anyone else boy in a pull up at NIGHT? I dont know what to do. Im over pull ups im over it! We cut off water once supper is done. He is a really hard sleeper. His dad was like 8 yrs old before he stopped peeing at night.
We have told him he can come out of his room to go pee if he needs to go. Doctor is no help with this either.
Help please any advice?

Yes mine is as well. He has ADHD and is an extremely hard sleeper

My boy is in pullups at night, and I've got nothing! We should start a support group. Hearing your son's dad did this until 8 was the first time a number had been put on it for me 🙃😩🤣

My 2020 daughter still is in a pull up at night. She’s dry some nights and wet others.

I don’t know if this helps or not, but it’s not abnormal. Mayo Clinic says not to worry at all up to age 7.

Also, when I start to get anxious for her to be done, I try to flip the script in my head. I choose to be grateful she is getting a full night of deep sleep rather than waking to pee. Sleep is so important for health. ❤️

It's really tough, but overnight training is a different skill than while awake. Some aren't ready until 7-8 years old, and if his dad was the same way then it's very possible his body just needs more time.

My 2020 child is as well! It sucks but there is a chemical that develops in the body and everyone’s does at a different age. So mostly there’s not much you can do besides wait and know it won’t be forever!

Limiting liquids for the hour before bed is a good start. As others said, it's hormonal and not really something that can be trained. Something that may help is adding a "dream pee" about 2 hours after bedtime/before you go to bed as one more output before trying for that long overnight stretch of dryness

I’m in the same situation with my son I need help with this as well I can give him no liquids 30mins to a hour before bed and he still wakes up with a full pull up

Avatar

Same ! I ran out and refuse to buy new box so I’ve sadly been waking up in the middle of the night and making him pee

I stopped using them on my son and he hasn't peed in bed since. I know every kid is different. Sometimes its the feel and comfort of them to the child.

STOP the pull-ups, get waterproof sheets, wake up and go potty in the nighttime every night, don’t make a fuss about accidents they will happen, it took two years of this but now almost every night my daughter wakes up and goes potty by herself now for almost a year.

Small or big class sizes for children who are delayed in speech

If your child has speech delay would you enrol them in aschool with small class sizes or a larger class sizes and why?

I feel so bad.

Today has been the worst, it started out pretty good I took my little boy to get milkshakes and we went to the park but somehow this afternoon he got a burn on his hand and I wasnt sure what to do so I took him to the hospital, then we went to eat and I told him so many times to stop climbing up the booth seat and he eventually fell and slammed his head into the table. Im very pregnant and in a massive amount of pain so I just got frustrated and overwhelmed while my husband grabbed our son. After he sat our kid back down and we started cleaning things up to leave, he went right back to climbing and I told him to sit down with "the mom voice" and 2 girls called me abusive. I swear im not but he doesn't listen and its more frustrating that he goes right back to doing the thing he just got hurt from 2 seconds before. Its so hard to sit and watch your kid do something over and over knowing they will get hurt. Especially when no consequence works. Sometimes I feel like i need a toddler straight jacket so he will sit down and stop doing things that will hurt him because i cant catch or save him every time. Im already on top of him 24/7 it feels like.

Husbands buddies at our home

My husband has a buddy flying in tomorrow morning & another buddy flying in Sat morning until Sunday. Their plan is to hang out here at our home until their football game Sunday.. All was fine until we realized my husband forgot to adjust his work schedule for tomorrow AND Saturday. So a likely chance he will get called in and it could be anywhere from a few hours to all day.

His buddies are cool. But I have zero interest in hanging out, let alone having them in our home if my husband is gone. Not for any particular reason other than Mom burnout? Idk. Because they are his friends? I don't want to get stuck having to entertain? I'm already annoyed. My husband doesn't seem bothered nor like he is going to find a solution for if he has to work.

Suggestions? I'm 6mo pregnant and have two younger kids. I love my privacy and space so already feeling like I'm not going to be able to fake their company if my husband has to go into work 🙄😂

My son is a delightful little person but Heck we are having rough days lately

He turns 3 in 3 months and as of recently I am fighting for my life to get him to sleep at night, fighting for my life getting him to listen to me (not over petty things--safety issues!)and fighting for my life to get the boy to eat. By 7 pm bath time I am at the end of my rope and he is not done with me. H e l p

Meals

How many meals is your 10 month old having? I’m really struggling with getting my daughter to eat anymore than 1 meal & a few snacks. She’s still having 3 7oz bottles and 1 10oz (bedtime)
