<sigh> A whole week of not just wet nappies but soaked through nappies and wet beds

[VictorianSqualor]

Is there anything I can do to stop DS1 (3.10) to stop wetting at night?
He's never been dry but it seems to be getting worse.
The last week he has wet so much that his nappy hasn't coped and he's been wet through in the morning.
Also he 'forgets' about using the toilet If he is 'busy' he won't go. He'll dance and jig around until I ask if he needs to go, and then wee just as he gets to the toilet.
I just wish it would stop, even at school he comes out with wet pants about twice a week. The only child in his class to have these accidents.

But that's good... he can get himself sorted. I would get him picking up the wet pants and putting them in the machine/linen basket or wherever though

Soon he'll realise that actually it's much easier to just go and have a piss on the toilet rather than have to faff about getting changed

That's what happened with dd.

Ds (3.8yrs) did this for ages- No nappy or pullup (disposal I'm afraid I don't do reusables) seemed to work. Now I use night time pullups for 4-7 year olds designed for older childen who are wet at night. these never elak. The nappies and normal pullups for his size all leaked and I tried loads.

I also use this www.gltc.co.uk/fcp/product/-/show%20all/Wet-&-Dry-Blanket/1312 which was fantastic in the days when he was leaking as it meant I just took this off and replaced it if he wet the bed, No need to change the sheets. I have two.

I would just turn the duvet over if it was wet in the night but tbh the duvet was rarely wet for some reason.

I can't really help on the night time training as we tried for a week a little while ago (again the wet and dry sheet was marvelous for that time too) to go without nappies.

10 days of getting up to twice a night as ds has weed on the bed was enough and I gave up. It wasn't even because I was tired but because ds was looking exhausted and his behaviuor ws deteriorating badly as a result so I decided enough was enough and left it a while. Probably time to start thinking about it again I suppose

DS moves around a lot in his sleep but the wet and dry blank seems to stay pretty flat. It does get a bit messed up sometimes but not that much really and generally works OK to catch all of the wee.

It doesn't leek through to the sheets at all and yet it is so thin, no idea how it works.

Y'know that wet and dry blanket looks exactly the same as the one on the Nappy Lady link only more expensive?

I'm a long way off embarking on night time training with DS1 - his night nappies are always well sodden in the morning.

DS1 rocks himself to sleep (looks crazy) so I'm not sure something on top of the sheet like that would work with him.

We have this Hippychick bed protector. The only thing is that it is very thick and takes a while to dry. Not ideal if you don't have a washing machine! I'd think disposable bed mats would be easier, but agree they might move around.

the pampers ones (i know i know) don't move around as they have long sides to tuck under the mattress like a sheet.

i'm sorry vs, i did laugh at the thread title - ds1 has been like this for 4 years he's 7 in jan but the meds don't work in this house. (been there with dd1, too)
he now wears an enuresis alarm and (sometimes) when it goes off he gets up and has a wee. sometimes he unplugs it and we're back to square one. but i do have less laundry
sympathy to ya. it is, without a shadow of a doubt, the worst thing in my life. how tragic is that? (he does the daytime thang too - he's in yr 2 now, and i swear by now the teachers should now him well enough to see if he is wet through, and tell him to go and get changed. he occasionally gets himself changed at home (leaving his wet pants on the bedroom floor, natch) but mostly he doesn't give a monkeys.
ho hum.
