A member asked:

At what age are children suppose to be out of diapers?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Usually 3: Most, but not all kids are dry during the day by 3 years.Some kids will wet the bed, thru immaturity and no fault of their own, well into elementary school years.If you are concerned , talk to your pediatrician.
