I don't reuse an overnight pull up. But my kids are sweaty like DH, and DH has a tendency to get yeast or fungal growths because of it. I don't want to risk having a pull-up create some kind of rash or whatever, although I guess you could spray it with jock itch spray if it was that serious.</p> <p>You can also double bag your kid's mattress. Mattress protector, sheet, waterproof liner or puppy pad, then another sheet. We did this with our cribs so that if a kid threw up or something at night, we'd just pull the top layer and move on. Just have a spare blanket if case that's an issue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-stop-pull-ups-overnight#post-2796264 Thu, 11 Jan 2018 09:57:06 +0000 yin 2796264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Even though it's a bit of a hassle, I went ahead and ditched the diaper (too lazy/cheap to buy pull ups) when LO was consistently dry. Before I go to bed, I bring him to the bathroom while he's half asleep. It helps keep him dry overnight, and I worry less about changing wet sheets. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-stop-pull-ups-overnight#post-2796213 Thu, 11 Jan 2018 07:52:28 +0000 erinbaderin 2796213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamatimes3: I have totally thought about that, and that's what gives me pause. But on the other hand I think little kids aren't as dirty as adults, plus they have baths right before bed, so I use those things to justify it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-stop-pull-ups-overnight#post-2796130 Wed, 10 Jan 2018 15:49:46 +0000 lilyofthewest 2796130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did it. I reused. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-stop-pull-ups-overnight#post-2796046 Wed, 10 Jan 2018 10:57:35 +0000 Mamatimes3 2796046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would keep putting him in the pull ups until he was dry consecutively for months. </p> <p>So I see the appeal of re-using pull ups but I don’t. To me it would be like using the same underwear over and over without washing them. Now if the pull up goes over underwear then it wouldn’t bother me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-stop-pull-ups-overnight#post-2795991 Tue, 09 Jan 2018 21:13:25 +0000 Canoli 2795991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinbaderin: why have I never thought of re using a dry pull-up????? Genius!!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-stop-pull-ups-overnight#post-2795965 Tue, 09 Jan 2018 19:32:43 +0000 GoGoSnoGirl 2795965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it would be shameful NOT to reuse a dry pull up, myself. 😄 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-stop-pull-ups-overnight#post-2795963 Tue, 09 Jan 2018 19:24:16 +0000 skipra 2795963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought some cloth pull ups for this reason! I also have a younger LO in cloth diapers so it's not a big deal to throw them in the laundry but I don't know if it is worthwhile if you don't have other diapers to wash. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-stop-pull-ups-overnight#post-2795962 Tue, 09 Jan 2018 19:21:09 +0000 SweetiePie 2795962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>🙋🏻‍♀️ Another vote for reusing a dry pull-up. I did 2-3 nights max. I figure he gets a bath most nights and he’s just wearing it 7pm - 7am so...how bad can it be?</p> <p>But also, I was told once they are dry every night for 2 consecutive weeks is when you can try going the night in underwear. But to be safe I did 1 month straight. He did that before he was day trained, actually. So once he was day trained and in underwear, I switched to underwear at night. 4 months in and zero bedtime accidents. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-stop-pull-ups-overnight#post-2795958 Tue, 09 Jan 2018 19:11:58 +0000 Salty 2795958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We also re-use dry pull-ups! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-stop-pull-ups-overnight#post-2795957 Tue, 09 Jan 2018 19:07:06 +0000 Charm54 2795957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dh is disgusted by it but I reuse pull-ups too hahaha</p> <p>It sounds like he's ready. When we night trained, a peapod mat was a lifesaver. No need to change sheets if there was an accident, just throw the mat in the wash </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-stop-pull-ups-overnight#post-2795947 Tue, 09 Jan 2018 18:01:04 +0000 erinbaderin 2795947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You guys, I have felt like reusing pull-ups is a shameful secret for like a year, I’m so happy to hear I’m not the only one! :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-stop-pull-ups-overnight#post-2795930 Tue, 09 Jan 2018 17:08:11 +0000 looch 2795930@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I kept my son in pullups for at least a year overnight post night "training", I couldn't be dealing with washing sheets during the work week.</p> <p>We also reused pullups, maybe 3 nights max? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-stop-pull-ups-overnight#post-2795928 Tue, 09 Jan 2018 16:47:02 +0000 MrsRoo 2795928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>🙋🏻‍♀️ Another pull up reuser on the rare occasion that they were dry, they got used again(and again). My oldest was daytime trained at 2, and finally get out of pull ups at 4.5. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-stop-pull-ups-overnight#post-2795923 Tue, 09 Jan 2018 16:36:13 +0000 Foodnerd81 2795923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lilyofthewest: definitely reuse dry pull-ups! I would do it for like a week- but maybe I’m gross 😂 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-stop-pull-ups-overnight#post-2795921 Tue, 09 Jan 2018 16:20:03 +0000 lilyofthewest 2795921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinbaderin: @gotkimchi: I've thought about doing it, but never tried -- might do! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-stop-pull-ups-overnight#post-2795919 Tue, 09 Jan 2018 16:18:50 +0000 lilyofthewest 2795919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bees_knees: Either completely dry or totally soaked. We cloth diapered during the day but used disposables overnight starting around 13mos because we couldn't figure out an adequate cloth solution. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-stop-pull-ups-overnight#post-2795918 Tue, 09 Jan 2018 16:16:08 +0000 gotkimchi 2795918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinbaderin: we also re-used pull-ups </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-stop-pull-ups-overnight#post-2795914 Tue, 09 Jan 2018 16:04:42 +0000 erinbaderin 2795914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>B has been potty trained for almost a year, and is still in pull-ups at night. Like you, he’s dry 9 times out of 10, and actually gets up to use the washroom pretty regularly, probably every other night. I just don’t want to deal with the wet sheets. I do reuse pull-ups, though, which might be gross, but I hate the idea of throwing out dry diapers every day, both financially and environmentally, so we use them for a few days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-stop-pull-ups-overnight#post-2795910 Tue, 09 Jan 2018 16:02:02 +0000 JennyPenny 2795910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not speaking from experience (LO has been trained except nights for a year now :-/) but my guess is that it would only take a few bedtime accidents before that 10% number started going way down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-stop-pull-ups-overnight#post-2795906 Tue, 09 Jan 2018 15:59:02 +0000 bees_knees 2795906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We waited until DS1 had been consistently dry for like...2 months. I would rather spend the money on pull-ups then change sheets bc I’m lazy. :happy: </p> <p>When he wets his overnight pull-up, how wet is it? Could you use (washable) training pants or something as an alternative? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-stop-pull-ups-overnight#post-2795900 Tue, 09 Jan 2018 15:54:21 +0000 lilyofthewest 2795900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO (2.5/31mos) has been daytime potty trained since July. He's been in regular underwear during the day consistently, but pull-ups overnight. </p> <p>That whole time he's quite consistently been wet about 1 night in every 10. He asks to get up to the bathroom about 1 night in 10 too. So...<br /> -80% of the time doesn't need to go overnight<br /> -10% of the time needs to go and asks<br /> -10% of the time needs to go and wets the pull-up. </p> <p>I feel like we're spending a lot of money and natural resources on pull-ups when 90% of them don't get used, but on the other hand, needing to change PJs and bedclothes in the middle of the night 10% of the time is too much too. </p> <p>Did anyone's LO "get it" and stop wetting overnight after stopping pull-ups? </p>
