This is a little long winded but I just wanted to share from my experience with diapers at that age. I didn’t become dry at night so I continued using diapers at night. The doctor said it was not unusual and I would most likely outgrow it in a year or two until then she could just keep using diapers on me. And I don’t have a problem with that. We had no washer or dryer in our small apartment and our small family had limited recourses at that time. When I consider all the circumstances at that time diapers at night was the correct choice for me. I never felt embarrassed or self-conscious about using diapers at night up to age 8 ½ it never bothered me if someone saw me in a diaper. I thought all kids needed diapers at night. I remember reasoning it out in my head at that that kids were to small to hold all night. After the summer I was 8 ½ mom stopped using diapers on me every night. After that I only used diapers at night while away from home until I was about 10 ½ years old. We went to stay with relatives in California the summer when I was 9 so I was put back in diapers at night for the 3 weeks. I remember so clearly the 1st day we flew down to LA how different it was I saw palm trees for 1st time. That evening I heard them talking figuring out who was going to sleep where and so on. I heard mom talking to an aunt in the other room she said something I didn’t hear except I heard my name. Then I heard mom say “I’ll put a diaper on her” I thought what did I hear I don’t ware a diaper anymore. At bedtime mom told me to brush my teeth and go to the bathroom then come in to the bedroom to get ready for bed. When I went in to the bedroom mom helped me get undressed like always nothing unusual so far. Then with out missing a beat she took down my underwear and took a diaper out and told me to lie down on the bed. I thought did mom forget I don’t ware diapers any more. I said I don’t ware a diaper but she said “you need a diaper so the bed won’t get wet” so I lay down and she put it on me. We put on my nightgown on and she sent me out to sit and watch television with everyone else. It felt awkward being back in a diaper especially with other children were around. I was very aware of both the smell and the rustling sound after being out of diapers at night for almost a year. If I moved even slightly the rustling sound seemed so loud I thought everyone was looking at me. Things got even better the following evening when mom gave us all a bath. Mom put all 3 of us in the tub and helped us bathe wash our hair and she was done with me 1st. She helped me dry off and dry my hair she put on my diaper combed out my hair. When she was done she could not leave the others so she told me go to the living room and she would bring my nightgown when she was done with the others. I was in the front of everyone with only a diaper on at 9 years old for almost half an hour or almost an eternity. The 2nd week It was very hot so I slept I just a diaper and tee shirt I would be in a diaper in front the other children and adults for as long as an hour before bed. By then I was almost used to it and I don’t think I was harmed by the experience. The times I had to go back in diapers while away from home or staying with someone mom told them to just put a diaper on me always felt a little awkward. Age 8 seems like a good place switch from pull-ups but that is what seems normal to because that is how it was for me. Anyway that is how I remember it as a child hope it is helpful Take care Steph :)
