Dear cheryl My wife never used Nappies once my children reached a certain age except my youngest who is special needs and was in them till aged 7. However my other son did bedwet until he was 13 and my wife if my son woke up in the night with a wet bed would change the sheet obviously my son had a plastic sheet underneath! it was a lot of work for her and when I suggested her put my son back into nappies at night she refused and so I never forced the issue!it is up to you i was a bedwetter up till aged 17 when i stopped!. hope this is of help to you!
