This is rediculous. I'm washing sheets for the 4th time this week.

I have the Goodness Gracious, MamaBird, and Poochies pattern. Haven't had time to try any of them yet. He really won't care if they snap on or pull up, but I was thinking side snap would be a bit more like undies for him. Do I need the XL? He's super skinny and about 35 lbs. No butt. lol ;)

I want to do a pocket so I can adjust the soaker amount I think. Can I do the Poochies that way by just sewing the elastic to the PUL layer? Any other ideas?

TIA!!

I don't have any suggestions about night pants, but I have a 6 yo bedwetter. I think she is use to sleeping really heavy since Simone was so loud at night and she just sleeps right through. She just started doing it when she was 5.5 yo. She was dry in the night up until that point. Sometimes she does it several times a week. Ugh.

Anyway, we've been giving her hyland's bedwetting tablets and it works! We've been doing this for over a month, and as long as I remember to have her take them, she doesn't wet the bed.
