My kids sleep like dead men! My son is about to turn 8 and wakes up dry 1-3 nights/week. His sister did it too and after 14 years of diapers and pull-ups i am ... disgruntled with the prices. My advice -i was always a name-brand buyer, believing others would be inferior in quality - is to open your mind and shop around. I began using the Dollar General brand last year (21 briefs for $7.50). They rose to $8.75 last fall so I migrated to Walgreen's brand (21 for $8) and during all of April they are BOGO 1/2 off! So I stocked up - That's $6 for 21! They work just as well - and my son can fill-er-up like none other!
My daughter fought this battle until she was 9 or 10, after YEARS of chronic (and varied) problems we drove hours to a specialist and found that she had an undersized urethra - she wore pull-ups, then xs depends (she was taller than me by age 10).
If your kids are fast growers, if they take ADD or ADHD meds, if they take certain allergy meds, melatonin, clonidine, etc. It could be anything - except cheap or easy for you! I think one of us should start an exchange program; ppl always end up with a package or two left once the baby is done with diapers or we are done with pull-ups. There should be a place we could post them and donate them to one another locally - just a thought! All you moms with 4 loads of sheets/week - Keep The Faith! ... View related article.
