My son was potty trained 3 years ago. But when his new brother came. He got upset that the baby got to wear diapers, and he didn't. 

He started wetting and messing his pants, until I let him go back to wearing diapers. He now wears diapers at 6 years old 24/7.

Your title is asking if it's okay to Make him wear the diapers. Then in your question it says that you're letting him wear them?

Which one is it?

I don't think it's okay to MAKE him wear the diapers, but it's probably okay to LET him wear the diapers for awhile.

It's probably just a phase that he's going through wanting to get the attention that the new baby is getting.

He's doing it for attention as he feels like he's being left out. No don't force him to wear the diapers again, but it's okay if he wants too for awhile.

He'll get over it eventually and want to go back to underwear once he grows tired of it. Usually lasts for a few months or maybe even 6 months.

He misses the attention he used to get from you when he was an actual baby.

Let him know all the good things that he can do now that he isn't a baby and that the baby can't do.

It's okay to let him wear diapers again for awhile. But you need to let him know that he will have to change his own diapers and unless he's home schooled he will have to use the toilet at school.

Teachers don't change diapers unless the kid has a disability and has to wear diapers.

School is starting up again soon so you'll have to let him know that he can't wear his diapers at school.

He'll also get lots of teasing from kids at school.

Let him know that the diapers are for only at home and he has to wear underwear in school.

I'm 12 and I wish my parents would make me wear them.
