I forgot to put ds's night time nappy on last night

[FrannyandZooey]

and he was dry in the morning

is this it then? Do we just ditch the nappies? He is 4.5, has never really had a dry nappy in the morning but I have suspected he maybe just wees in it in the night / morning because it is there

did not especially want to experiment and find out as I am often up with him in the night anyway (wants a cuddle, bad dream etc) and didn't want "mummy I need a wee" and early morning wakings to add to this, really

I had better bite the bullet, hadn't I?

oh god I am quite tired already, how long is this likely to disturb his sleep for in anyone's experience?

As a temp mattress protector , try splitting a bin liner and spreading that under the sheet. Its a sweaty at night but will do the job.

fishie - I used to just put the previous nights nappy back on if it hadn't been wetted in - saved money . I know of a reasonable number of 2.5yo who are dry at night - when they are ready they are ready. But equally if it stays at 95% that is still 5% when he isn't - which is no fun for any of you.

fishie Ds was 2.5yrs when he was ready. As i said earlier purely by accident but after that he wet the bed maybe twice in one week and thats was it.

Franny it can be that he is ready but not used to it. So a couple of accidents are to be expected especially when they have pj bottoms on as they 'think' they are in a nappy.
