Our 5-year-old DS wets his bed each night, but since spending some time with his older cousins on holiday he won't wear a nappy any more. That means (at least) one change of bedding each night, and interrupted sleep for everyone.
I was advised to 'lift' him at about 11pm, which worked for two days, but now he still wakes up around 3am (and often at 5am again!) after yet another accident. We've now tried this regime for 3 weeks and it's starting to grind.
Has anyone out there had any success with the 'lifting' approach, or should we find a diplomatic way of re-introducing nappies until his system is mature enough.
It is all rather exhausting so I'd like to know whether it is at all worth it. Everyone, including our GP, seems to have a different opinion...
