I have a nearly-three year old who is showing interest in potty
training. He asks to go potty at daycare and will go if we suggest it
at home. I bought some pull-ups thinking maybe if he could pull his
pants down himself he might show more interest in going to the potty.
Are these pull-ups as good as wearing a diaper at night - he usually
soaks his night diaper. He drinks a TON of apple juice both day and
night. I am concerned about the absorbency of the pull-ups as well as
the fact that they might "speed up" toilet training.
Thanks,
Anne

I would classify them as having a lower absorbency than normal diapers. We use them for night time with Andrew (2�) but only because he 1. was upset that he could wear "big boy pants" during the day, but had to wear a diaper at night. and 2. He has incredible bladder control, 95% of the time he is still dry in the morning. Your comment about drinking a lot also has an impact. Andrew will have apple Juice with his afternoon snack, and then usually milk with dinner at about 6 pm. He goes to bed at 7.00 to 7.30 and we make sure he goes to the bathroom, before he goes to bed. The Pullups are reasonably absorbent, and great for the childs ego, but I would probably wait a month or two , in your case. Side line... WHen we first got real "big boy pants" for ANdrew, we just got generic pants. Well, for Xmas he got some MIckey mouse y-front briefs. Now we have "Big boy pants with Peek-a-boo wee-wee" q | |||||

You can double up the pull-up pants, or put a pair of plastic
pants over them. Also, some brands have both "beginner's"
training underwear that are much thicker, and "advanced" training
underwear that's not so thick.

Is everyone talking about a training type of pants that's disposable?
I've heard about these and have had my eye out from grocery to
department stores, to Toys R Us, and have not seen them.
Where can I get some?
