My son turned 5 at the end of March and still wears pull ups. The pediatrician said it's normal. His body still needs to either produce a hormone to not make as much per at night or wake him up to go.

ETA: he's been potty trained since 3.5.

My lo is 3 and we still use one. Ain't nobody got time to be changing sheets she's dry some days but not all so who cares!

Same as @KT326. It rarely happens, but still does on occasion.

Is this different between boys and girls? Similar to @skipra: DD1 is 5 in a month but never dry in the AM. DD2 is newly 3 and dry about a third of the time overnight but she wears a pull-up.

We just stopped the over night pull up this week and DD turned 4 in March. She just decided she didn't want it anymore and has only had one accident on the second night so far.

Everyone I know that stops doing an over night pull up before their kid is ready ends up with a lot of accidents and night time sheet changes... that's just in my observation. Ain't nobody got time for that imho .

My son stopped wearing pull ups after nearly a year of being dry overnight, simply because i didn't want to have to change sheets during the week if I didn't have to! He was at least 5.

The thing with being dry overnight is that there is really nothing you can do to intervene or speed the process along because you're looking for two things, one that they wake up to use the bathroom if needed and two, that their body begins to secrete an enzyme that reduces the amount of urine that is produced overnight.

DS started be constinently dry around 2.5, but it wasn't until he was almost 3 that he stopped using pull-ups at night. I wanted to go a few months of him being consistently dry before I got rid of them.
