have put pampers bad sheet thingy down under ehr sheet!

Oops sorry

lol at the pfb bit, towards the end I didn't actually lift, I just made him sleepwalk there, sleep wee and sleepwalk back. DH (who was mostly away and who did lift him when he was home) thought I was mean, but I couldn't physically do it. One night I just fell asleep on the sofa in the evening and when I woke up at 2am stumbled to bed, when he was still dry the next morning I never bothered again.

I think the bed wetting clinics aren't that in favour of lifting as you're just emptying the bladder when the child is sleeping so what's the point? But it's been a traditional method.
