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.

Mumsnet would die if they knew how slack I was.

Put on a mix of hydrogen peroxide, washing up liquid and a pinch of bicarb, rub and leave to dry. Then hoover off.

Gets rid of all pee, including dried on yucky stains.

A 5cm dribble? I’d crawl into my lightly soiled sheets and sleep the sleep of the righteous.
Me too. Ignore all the haters; half of them are lying and half are set for a nervous breakdown.

at all the pearl-clutching. Have you lot any idea how much sweat and drool (which is full of bacteria) the average person produces per night? Then there's the 10,000 skin cells each adult sheds every 8 hours. But, yes, a bit of toddler wee is the end of the world

This Clean freak on MN, slut IRL, IMO.

Get your arse off MN and change the sheets. Geez - do you really need to consult the MN oracle on changing pissy sheets? It would be done by then time you’ve read through the comments.

Depends whose side it is on. If it's on your side, just turn the duvet round to DH's side. If it's on DH's side then just leave it. Sorted.

5cm? Yeah I'd leave that to dry.

I'm rather anal when it comes to cleanliness, but a patch of 5cm wee would have been wet wiped round here!
I remember the newborn days of flying poos when changing a nappy, projectile puke x 8 times a day with a refluxey baby, wee all over our bed most days. I would change sheets within a day or so but in between everything got wet wiped. Even found poo on my headboard one morning after my lo did an explosive flying poo halfway through a nappy change at 2am! Honestly her poo used to shoot out like a bullet and land a few feet away 😳

Baby wipe and do it in the morning!

You can get both mattress and duvet protectors which are waterproof, machine washable and breathable. Mine has the feel of terry towelling and I've been known to just strip the duvet cover off and sleep under it - it saves trying to cram a double or king size duvet in the washing machine. I think they are originally designed for adult incontinence but are very useful for pet or child accidents.

I’d leave it and I have done many times

Even thinking about not changing the sheets is clearly criminal. Now you need to confess, put a sign across your chest which reads "slattern" and walk through town so folks can throw things at you whilst you live out your shame.

Urine is sterile. Swimming pools are full of urine. Our pillows are 50% dust mite faeces. Computer keyboards have more bacteria than toilet seats. Milk is full of pus cells.

Perspective mumsnet!

Ok... you need to get your priorities straight

Urine is sterile

Um, urine is definitely NOT sterile. It is a myth that keeps being perpetuated. That said, it’s not the end of the world if you don’t bother to change the sheets. If you’re happy to sleep in wee’d on sheets and mattress then you go for it.

I'm fairly slack but the trouble with wee is that 24 hours after it dries it starts to smell like a tramp's pants.

Bacteria are present in urine, but in far lower levels than almost every other part of the body. The OP's toddler will have transferred millions of bacteria to the bed from his skin and maybe a few hundred from the wee.

I would have burned the bed and all the bedding by now.

Sorry, that’s gross.

I had a close friend during the tiny baby stage, and we would often say "It's only wee" to each other and carry on. Maybe a swipe with a wet wipe, if one was handy.

OP,you're not disgusting,you're a busy mum,be nice to yourself

Sponge it out and then dry with hairdryer?

So just a question, to all those saying it’s gross.

If your babies wet nappy leaked on your bed, would you change the bedding?

What about if the nappy leaked on the sofa/carpet/car seat?
