My DS1 (2 years 8 months) has been in a bed for nearly a year and he never gets out. Ever. In the mornings he'll shout for us till we go and tell him he can get up, at which point he'll climb out of bed. He won't get up to get his drink from the side, won't get up if he drops his dummy/toy, and just stays in bed till one of us goes to him.
This was/is mostly fine. However, he's been in maternelle (Belgian kindergarten) since September and has now basically dropped his lunchtime nap. He dropped it at home months ago so we pretty much stopped putting him to bed unless he asks to go. However, at maternelle they all go to bed even if they don't sleep. DS rarely naps there. If he does, he's dry. However, he's recently started doing a wee in his pants when he's in bed at maternelle and not sleeping. He knows he can take himself to the toilet or ask the teacher to take him, but he just won't get out of his bed and go. He just stays in bed and wets himself.
After a week of wet trousers every day, I'm getting a bit fed up. He knows better - he's been toiled trained for nearly 6 months. I've explained to him several times that he should get out of bed and go for a wee, and he says he understands, but then we get the same thing the next day. I'm not sure if it's relevant or not, but I'm 19 weeks pregnant and we explained it to DS after I had to stay in hospital for a week a the start of November. Could it be because of that? Any help/advice gratefully received!
