Mark: Don't know what normal is to be sure, but I would suggest that you not change nor substitute any thing that you have been doing or wearing, that is, for several nights. If up to you, you make the decision as to how long. You must get confidence in yourself that things are going well. After a period of time, you might (but do not have to) prefer to get some training pants which will make it easier to manage your situation. By the way, if a diaper is preferable to you as you say you now wear, so be it. But try not to use it as you progress.
