1.5 days of flying and a 4 year old who isn't night trained?

[twentypence]

I think this is a "can't see the wood for the trees" question - but here goes.

Ds is a very reliable during the day (apart from when with MIL - but as he won't be that's not an issue)

But is nowhere near trained at night.

So on a plane what do we do as we have no idea when he'll fall asleep? Or do we take PJs and pull ups and have a "bedtime". Or do we put a pull up on him for the whole journey to avoid stress altogether.

We leave here on Saturday morning and arrive UK Sunday morning - so that's 36 hours approx.

I'd just bung a pull up on him for the whole journey TBH and let him go to the loo if he asks

I thing taking PJs and having a bed time is a good idea, even if its much later than his usual bedtime.

Best of luck

Pullups all the way, it will be exciting enough for the poor tot without the stress(for all of you) of him having an accident.

I think it depends how he feels. he might not like the idea of pull ups for the whole day. There wil be a 'night time' when he he is tired so you coudl put them on him then? His 'real' night time?

Where are you coming form that takes 36 hours???

NZ - but I was allowing for the time we are in Singapore between planes, and being in the airport in NZ - 36 hours is a sort of door to door estimate.

IMHO and IME put him in PJs and pull ups

he will sleep for some of it but not for other times of it and it won't be with his regular timings iyswim

It will be less stressful for all of you

Also there may be queues for toilet and so he may not get there in time
