To put her back in nappies at 6??

[inneedofaglowup]

She still pees the bed. I have tried everything. I take her to the toilet at night, I give her no drink before bed. I've had to throw 2 mattresses away because of this. I've told her if she has the urge to pee to shout mummy and I'll take her toilet. Nothing works. I didn't have this issue with my other two. And it's only at night, no issues with going to the toilet in the day. I'm thinking to just put her back in a nappy at night because I'm at my wits end and I can't be getting a new mattress every other month and stripping the bed everyday.

No! Put the huggies mats down over her sheets.

Isn’t this a hormonal thing? I’m sure they make dry nights for kids of this age, have you tried those?

just get waterproof mattress protectors. Don’t put her in nappies, that’s not fair on her.

Have you seen GP? My eldest was in nappies at night until year one.

Do you not have mattress protectors on the bed?

These op. I used them for my daughter when she was about 3/4 and it saved changing bed etc.

If it's every day, yes I would (pull ups not nappies). A waterproof top sheet if it's occasionally. Hang in there! Unfortunately I think she's probably still a bit young for a GP to be interested.

So if you have waterproof mattress covers or bed pads that’s the mattress covered.

Re nappy - pull ups is the more grown up alternative.

Re pee: blokes in pubs pee. Everyone else wees

I don't really understand why people don't use pull ups for children who aren't dry at night.

My kids are both still in them and one is older than yours.

Much easier than constant sheet changing

Brolly sheets are what you need. Super absorbant, washable...buying new mattresses is madness!!!

Don't you have waterproof mattress protectors on the bed?

Doesn't sound like she was ready to be out of nappies in the first place. Dont you use mattress protectors? See your gp but they might just say to give it time as they need to make a hormone that suppresses urine overnight and need to wake up when their bladder is full. Some children do this later than others.

Mattress protectors and yes, some level of absorbent pants. Nappies or pull ups or a cloth version thereof. It wouldn't be unreasonable to go to the GP at 6 as I think that's the age they start to refer kids. The Eric website is supposed to be a good place for ideas too, before you go to the GP.

We use bed mats at night in case of accidents, can just switch for another one and put the first in the machine - also have a mattress protector under the sheet.

A small percentage of kids have night wetting into their first decade. Worth asking your GP for advice/support if you have not done this already.

Many kids still wet the bed at 6. I would certainly put her back in pull ups if necessary (and if she's willing).

Invest in a waterproof mattress protector. They can be sweaty, though- my kids like waterproof protector, normal protector then sheet.

I personally have never "lifted" mine to take them to the toilet after they're asleep, because I think it just trains them to wee in their sleep!

GP and Enuresis clinic. It’s not her fault. It can be a hormonal thing that means your body still creates as much urine at night and you don’t have the hormone that wakes you up. See the doctor and get some
mats. Can also get washable ones.

My ds is 5 and in pull ups at night. Not remotely dry, ever, including the times he wakes and takes himself to the potty (so he doesn't have to leave his room). We also have waterproof protectors. No day time issues at all.

Night time dry is hormones anyway. Honestly my 2yo is dryer than my 5yo!

A coverless duvet is also a good idea. You just bung it in the machine for washing, and they dry in no time at all.

At what age did you decide she had to now be dry at night op? Unless she's sitting there awake intentionally peeing the bed, she's not being naughty. You make it sound like she just won't try hard enough.

Get her some pull up pants, the girl ones have princesses on.

Its hormonal!

Waterproof sheets on the mattress, and strip off in the night if she has an accident. Put 2 or 3 layera on of waterproof sheets then its easy in the night
She dosn't need nappies, but maybe the pull up pants/huggies type things

My daughter was the same.. she wasn’t producing the Hormone she needed to keep
dry at night. She was put onto Desmopressin, stayed on it until she was about 13.

My daughter suffered multiple uti’s when using pull ups for bed wetting. She ended up scaring on kidneys. We stopped using them and the uti’s stopped. Unfortunately the bed wetting continued but we used mattress protectors and a draw sheet. Some children don’t produce enough of the hormone that stops urine production at night until they are a little older.

Mine is 7 and not even nearly dry at night, GP basically not interested until they are 8. I buy pull ups in Tesco which are for 8-15 year olds so it must be very common. I also use bed pads and probably have to change the sheets twice a week because of leaks etc. it’s hard going (and very expensive!) but she will get there. We’ve done everything on the Eric website, have even tried the alarm but the wake ups were impacting her at school so we are going to try that again in the summer holidays.

My son was potty trained during the day at 3 and still in pull ups at night until the age of 6. When we took the pull ups away he would wet the bed around 4/5am to begin with, but could do most of the night dry so I knew he was just about ready.

After 7 years old I believe the gp can run some tests and offer advice but it's still considered normal under 7

Also agree with others about getting waterproof mattress covers etc..

I have the waterproof mattress protector and the mats you've recommended. Unfortunately she moves around the bed so much the dry mats don't always stay under her. I just think she's so deep in her sleep that she just doesn't wake up to go to the toilet.

But waterproof protectors cover the entire thing like a fitted sheet?
