To try to encourage DD to wear nappies again for a holiday?

[Oliviaerinpope]

I suspect it is very unreasonable, but I'm not sure how else to manage this.

DD (just 4) has been out of nappies at night for a while and hasn't worn daytime nappies since she was around 18m. She still sometimes has accidents at night which isn't a problem at home, easy to strip and remake the bed. However, we are going on a two week cruise - I can't ask housekeeping for new bedding at 3am and I'm not clear how we'd manage an accident.

Do I use a nappy at night to avoid accidents? DD will hate it and may even refuse or take it off, which also makes the situation more tricky.

Any advice would be helpful.

Take a packet of absorbent bed pads, and ask housekeeping to leave extra linens in your room.

Oh! That makes so much sense. Thank you.

Take some of those bed mat things

[DelphiniumBlue]

Take extra bedding and a waterproof mat to go under the sheet.

Take a waterproof bedsheet with you! x

I took a waterproof mattress cover when I went away and DS was usually dry but when when exhausted.

Thank you all so much for taking the time to reply. My DH is currently online searching for disposable pads

These are brilliant as the stick to the bed and don't move around. I always take some with me when we stay overnight somewhere. On the odd ocassion that DD has had an accident, they have protected the bed.

Asda sell them. I've found them to be dearer from online sellers.

Home Bargain sell those bed pads Olivia or any specialist disability equipment shop should have them.

The Huggies dry nites ones are the best. Available in tesco etc. They're much bigger than most of the other brands. I use them on holidays with my 5 year old who is still a bit unreliable at night. Take disposables rather than a washable waterproof one as you won't have facilities to wash it.

[Janeymoo50]

I take them away if, errrr, having a bad period (sorry for tmi). £4/5 ish in Tesco for a pack of 7 bed pads. Don't take much space either.

If you advise your room steward, most cruise lines with make the bed up with a waterproof mattress cover and arrange for large plastic bags for any wet sheets. The waterproof pads are nice, but they don't cover the entire mattress and if you have a 'fidgety' sleeper or one with 'large capacity' there is still a chance that the mattress itself will get wet.

The dry items are sold next to
The nappies in supermarkets and are excellent. We used them for my disabled father.

You could also try the pull ups.
Pajama pants.
Maybe sell it as the boat being warm so she can wear these new pj's and a vest?

Bed mats are also good
