Sleepover advice

[Codysmum88]

My DS is 5 and still wets at night, he wears nappies to bed which is no problem. He's been invited to his first sleepover and I don't know what to do Should I ask other mum to put his nappy on or should I just not let him go? He's only ever stayed at grandparents house where nappies aren't an issie

I'd say he can't go. My 5yo also wears pull-ups at night &I didn't want her to go for a sleepover recently in case she got teased for still wearing 'nappies'

5 is too young unless it is family or a really close friend.

I just don't want him feeling left out cause he wears nappies

If he's up for it, say "not this time but let's go to work on having dry nights".
As a regular host of sleepovers, I would rather not deal with another child's wet bed but I'd never tell them that and would plan for it anyway. I'd deal with it as I would my own kids, quickly, minimum fuss and a big smile.

Does he wear pull ups? Can he put them on/off on his own? I have taken Beavers ( 6-8 ) and Cubs ( 8-10 ) away and had a few in both age groups that have worn pull ups. What we have done is just reminded them to put them on in the evening and then the next morning they go to bathroom take them off get dressed as usual and then a leader disposes it. Maybe something along those lines would work if you spoke to the parent

Why not have dinner with friend and come home just before bedtime?

We are thinking about hosting one at our house instead in a few weeks as we can deal with it alot easier

Good idea

We had a 5 year old for a sleepover with pulls ups on. (Actually she went home at bedtime because she was sad). I wouldNMt let pull ups put him off sleeping over. If you and the hosts are calm about it there is nothing that mega.
My 5 year old knew that his guest wore special pyjama pants but there was no judging or teasing.. it was just what she needed. If my 5 year old teases his friend for a perfectly natural thing i’d Be livid.
