To leave wee on my bed?

[Babyjunglesafari]

I’ve got a million things to do this evening and I’m going out in 10 minutes.

My 2 year old toddler has just done a wee on my bed after his bath. His wee isn’t particularly big or smelly, there’s a patch about 5cm.

I’m debating just leaving it there, this is after already changing my bedding twice in as many days after toddler got chocolate and pasta sauce over it, then puked over it.

How disgusting would it be to leave it now until next bed change as frankly I’m done with changing bedding and washing sheets.

I’ve left a small baby wee on my bed sheets before quick baby wipe and it’s all good. Surely it’s the same as wiping baby sick off your shoulder or a bit of stray poo off your leggings

I would have sprayed with detox spray, given it a good run and left it!

I'm obviously disgusting: I would leave it as long as it wasn't near where my head would be. Would clean up sick though.

I totally would have put a towel on it too. I mean, if it was soaked, then yes best change them - but a tiny dot of toddler wee wouldn't bother me. Well, not my own toddler's anyway...

Maybe leaving the wee was a bit gross but I am amused at being called unhygienic for getting my clean freshly bathed toddler dressed on my bed.

I remember a particular low point in the early days. Single parent, baby and a 3 year old, and as usual we all ended up in the same bed. I was permanently exhausted at that point. At about 4am I realised that baby's nappy had leaked poo on to the sheets, and we were all lying in it. It was breast milk poo, so not vile but certainly not pleasant. However, both kids were still asleep, so in my exhausted state I decided not to wake them. We all slept another couple of hours in poo. God those days were hard!!

I did clean it all in the morning obviously!

Suggest you leave the child on the floor in future.

Leave him on the floor?

To be honest wee on my bed is preferable to wee on the carpet.

Anyway kids wet the bed, kids get sick, kids get mucky. It was only the fact I’d already changed the bed twice I simply couldn’t be bothered a third time.

I like that idea @user1471459936. Still leaves the problem of drying double bed sheets though. We don’t have a dryer and it’s not good enough weather to dry outside much at this time of year. I also think I’d have to get bigger sheets as mine barely reach the bottom of the mattress as it is.

I guess I must be failing at parenthood though as I’m always changing nappies on the bed (with a mat). Definitely not going crawl about on the floor in the night doing it!

Totally agree @fannythrobbing. No muslin to hand? My tshirt will do to wipe baby’s face. Small vomits are wiped off clothes and we carry on. Small vomits on the bed? Muslin or towel down and back to sleep!

In order to be ‘hygienic’ and not ‘grim’ I’d have to either lose sleep or time with my baby and I’m not willing to give up either!

On a waterproof mat obviously!

I would have left it. 5cm I’d probably not even notice.

This place is obsessed with putting babies on floors. Buses, bus stops, bedroom floors ... yeah because that's so hygienic for a baby

Better than messing up beds!

I’d have bunged a towel on top and left if.

leaving it is one of those things I would do but probably not admit to :-)

I'm another who would have left it, or at best given it a scrub with fairy liquid or similar. 🍷 to the rest of you slatterns

Minty bless you 😂.
Some very upright peeps on here, it's a tiny amount of toddler pee FFS!

Uptight!

Get a waterproof mattress protector OP.

I would have left it, as long as it wasn't going to soak into the mattress. We have a thick cotton bed protector so the mattress would be ok. If it might have soaked into mattress I would have changed it.

I remember a low period when co sleeping baby had vomiting bug overnight, I put a towel under her overnight and whenever she vomited I just changed the towel as most of it landed on the towel not our sheet. Grim but I was shattered and didn't want to change sheets several times overnight with baby screaming, this way we all got back to sleep quickly! Dh was pretty disgusted and went to sleep in the spare room!

Well I must be disgusting too because I probably would have left it..

On my bed I’ve got a waterproof cover (for times like this). Then a thick mattress protector then my normal bed sheet.

The reason I didn’t immediately get the sheet off is I know the mattress will be fine, and changing the sheet meant the other bits would need doing, and they’re a mare to wash.

Febreze is your friend OP.
