Re: Night time potty training with g-tube fed kids

[Guest guest]

hi emily!!

that is completely up to you, i have a 6 1/2 yr old nonrss that

still needs to wear the good nights to bed. and he will go through

a couple of months waking up dry and then bam, we will go through

weeks of him waking up wet (he will sometimes even wet so much that

he soaks through the good night). it wont hurt to have him still

wear them, if he is waking up dry you can just keep reusing it.

good luck and do what you think is best. my christopher still wears

a diaper only at night and he is 3 1/2yr. sometimes he is dry in the

morning and sometimes he is not. i would rather be safe then sorry

(to many times changing sheets and pj's in the middle of the

night!!!)

Hi ,

We finally took this step with Aidan. She was dry for quite a while, and we

just decided that the Pull-Ups were an expense we could no longer afford. We

do get her up every night, and take her to the bathroom before we go to bed.

I just make sure to leave as many lights off as possible, only what we need

to find our way, so that she doesn't fully wake up. I also make sure she

goes as soon as she's awake in the morning, and she hasn't had an accident

yet!
