Overnight reusable nappy for 4 yo?

6 replies

Mrburnshound · 06/11/2023 18:36

My 4yo is still weeing a full bladder at night, I think a reusable nappy might help her train a bit as she will feel wet. Has anyone got any recommendations for a nappy for that large am amount of wee? She's a size 5/6 (probably more 6 now).

I can't "lift" her as she will wake all the way up and not be able to get to sleep again - she is not a good sleeper!

Tvm

Motherease Bedwetters are very good and run big in terms of sizing. My two year old was in the XS.

The nappy lady is really helpful for advice. You might need a junior nappy at that age rather than a normal birth to potty one. We used a night fitted nappy for my tall 3 year old but it probably wouldn't have fitted for much longer.
Also your local council may have a scheme to help towards the costs which may be worth looking into if you decide to get some.

It's been a while but I used to use little lamb bamboo nappies with a wrap as overnight nappies. They always lasted all night. Ds was dry day and night at 18mo so there might be something in your theory about reusables, we used them all the time for him. We didn't use them for ds1 and he took much longer to be dry.

Night time dryness is hormonal and can't be trained. Keep her in nappies until she stops seeing in her sleep, you'll all be thankful for it.

Thanks all. I have read about it being hormonal but was hoping to try anything to expedite It as I feel she should be dry by now
