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.

I used to have a waterproof fitted bottom sheet for mine.
It didn't matter how much they wriggled about in bed then.
I had a waterproof duvet and pillow protector too.
You can buy them on Amazon.

If she’s ok with pull ups, then I would put her back in them. She’s still young enough for bedtime wetting to be “normal”.

You could try those pyjama pants , they are for kids and up to a certain age?

I purchased a heaven duty fitted rubber mattress protector from a medical shop. It was not cheap but worth the extra cost to save the mattress.

Yeah I'd get some pull ups. Aldi do a larger size one now that's cheaper than the branded versions.

Mine wore night nappies until they were dry in the mornings for a week straight

If it's every night I would put her in pull ups. Has she always been like this, if so when did you take away the pull ups and why? My 5.5yo still wears pull ups overnight. We tried about 6 months ago without which was a disaster and it upset her and disturbed her sleep. I spoke to the GP and they weren't bothered and said just give it another go later. She's only just started mentioning that she would prefer to be dry at night now so we are going to give it another try during the Easter hols and see. Her pull ups are huge sopping wet and full every morning though so don't think she's ready but worth giving it a go. She's a heavy sleeper which I think is related - when we tried without pulls up we'd check on her before we went to bed and she was frequently already totally soaked through by 11pm but fast asleep and completely oblivious.

Pull up pants for night times are still fine at her age. Don't call them nappies or make a fuss. No one else needs to know. She'll grow out of it in time.

My 7 1/2 year old has to wear pull ups and he uses them 4/5 nights a week. He hates them but what choice do we have (shrugs)

I wet the bed til I was 11. Nothing worked.

I spent most mornings of my childhood ashamed and upset, knowing my parents were frustrated and annoyed. I'd hear them talk about mattresses and sheets etc and cry about not being normal. They tried all sorts of wakeup alarms, including a loud buzzer with wires that goes off when it detects moisture, that was traumatizing. I was parched before bed, given charts to fill in, uncomfortable sheets to sleep on, woken up and taken from bed in the dark, taken to doctors appointments, I was terrified at night, panicked when waking in the morning...

My advice is do nothing and try not to make a big deal about it, except keep child and mattress as comfortable as possible and give her a basket to put wet jammies in, in the morning because if this goes on longer, as she gets older she'll want to be even more discreet about it.

Nobody can control it.
It will only stop when her brain is able to make that connection during sleep. Takes time for lots of kids. (Provided there are no medical conditions)

Absolutely put her in pull-ups.

Many children are still setting the bed at 6.

There is a hormone which has to be present in order for a child to be dry at night. It's clear from what you've said that your dd hasn't got that hormone yet.

It's not her fault. It's nothing you or she have done or not done.

The GP is unlikely to do anything until she is 7 or 8.

Ds was in pull-ups until he was 10... that was the easiest option for all of us.

Dr wouldn't see dd until she was 7, apparently it's still normal range until 7/8

The worst was being praised the mornings I was 'dry'. Or asked immediately as I woke up "are you wet"? Mortifying. I had no control, wanted to ignore it but was constantly reminded. Being promised stars or prizes as an incentive for a few dry nights was horrible. I'd never get there.

No I agree with you. I'd never want her to feel ashamed or bad about it. When she does wake up and says Mama I've wet the bed I've never had a go or made her feel bad. I always just showered her up and put on fresh clothes. I took her out of pull ups at 4.5years. She doesn't wet the bed every single night of everyday. There are nights where she hasn't wet the bed. It's just very frustrating for me having to do the clean up everyday.

I think i will put her back in pull ups and just wait a little longer.

My son wet the bed until he was 8. I never stressed about it because I always believed it was common (but not talked about) and that he'd grow out of it. I simply put him in big nappies and used a mattress protector. We tried pull-ups but they always leaked. The nappies didn't leak.

Buy a pack of ninjamas (pull ups) and job’s done. GP won’t care at this point. Wearing pull-ups is normal at 6. It will pass (I thought it never would, and now at 7 he is fully dry at night…)

Absolutely pullups. Dont think they were around when I was small. Once she can fit in them and will wear them, it's the best solution!

Such a frustrating thing to deal with, for the whole family! I sympathise.

Use kylie sheets, they are amazing. 2 for £13 on Amazon. They tuck under the mattress so don’t move.

I was about to write this word for word

We have waterproof sheets on all of our beds they fully zip around the mattress. I put a normal mattress protector over the top it just keeps the mattresses clean from DHs tea spills etc . I'll try and find a link for the ones we use there were from a care type provider, very soft and no rustle

No YABU if she will wear one? Use pull ups though or night pants, not a nappy. Bed wetting at night is hormonal, and the doctors don't consider it a problem until they are older as it's normal. Some PP have said Doctors aren't interested until age 8, but I have spoken to mine about this and they've told me to go back to them closer to age 7. My child is the same, he has been dry during the day since he was 2 but would wet the bed every night without a pull up.

Hi there is a Facebook group.
You need to join it, I wish I'd found it years ago when mine was this age. It has gone on and on and now he is 16!! It's called Betwetters in children and teens.
Strongly advise that you get help from a guy who advises in the group called Peter. He offers a free e-book but we personally paid
For further advice also. We have been through doctors and not got the help we are now getting from Peter he is brilliant. Do it now before the habit gets worse x

These ones, just double check you get the right size
