Day time nap- when to go nappyless?

[NAB3littlemonkeys]

Started less than 2 weeks ago and he is doing 100% better than I ever expected. His nappy today after his nap was dry, but we have had dirty ones previously. When to go with pants? He sleeps 1.5-2 hours and has a wee before going down.

Anyone?

why don't you just give it a go?

i didn't put a nappy on dd today as she had stayed dry all night, but she's only done that once before. i just couldn\t be bothered to put one on so just went for it.
she woke up dry by the way.
give it a go.

I suppose I clould as long as he was done a poo. He tends to one a day.

A friend said children don't poo when asleep after a certain age. Is that true?

could do one a day.

IME children don't poo when they're asleep. at least thats what i was told when dd was very little and it has been true for her.
again. you can only give it a try. if it goes horribly wrong then its just a very hot wash and try again!
not meaning to be flippant, but i do think you should just go for it.

Haven't taken it as flippant, thanks for some commonm sense. So I guess he does the poo when he wakes up?

why don't you put him on the potty before his nap and then as soon as he wakes up?

Will wait until I can get the bed protector pad but will try v soon.

DD had been toilet trained for daytime nap for about 4 months when she did a poo in her sleep. It seems she pulled her pants down in her sleep to do it because it went everywhere.

Lucky for me she was at the childminders that day!

What do you mean they do not wee while asleep?

Have put him down in just pants. He is on a promise for a chocolate bar if he wakes up clean and dry.

Sure!

Why have I never heard about this weeing thing before? I have read a million books and magazines and never heard of it. Would be interested to hear more about it.

I had to wake him for the school run.

His pants were slightly wet and there was a wet patch on his sheet but I am fairly sure that was dribble so I am very pleased with him. He had remembered about the chocolate bar so we comprimised on a chocolate brownie after tea.

well done NAB.
hope it continues to go well.

Poo pants at 5pm!

can you tell when he went? did he make any sign or say anything that you may have ignored at the time or was he busy doing something and just kind of forgot?
i only ask cos dd wet her panties today which is increasingly rare and i think it may have been cos she was tired and grupy and couldn't be bothered to tell me she needed to go. also she was miserable on the way home from the childminder which may have been cos she wanted to go but couldn't cos she was on the back of a bike!

anyway,
onwards!

Feeling irrationally cross about the ignored comment, as I know he made no comment to tell me. I am sure most mums would agree that if their child made any comment/sign to do with needing the toilet they react! He was very bust playing with his siblings so I guess he wasn't bothered about telling me. He came straight away when I said to change him so I think he knew he had been. No accidents today again and he is about to go down for a nap shortly.

No, not allowed any more

Well, I got him up and he was dry!!!!

The way I approached it was that once the nappies came off and potty training began then they stayed off (other than night time). I didn't put them on for naps, going out etc and they seem to have got the hang of it really quickly (although I did leave it til quite late)

Just as I typed he came to tell me he had done a poo! Put them on a rinse cycle with the socks he managed to get it on and his trousers for good luck but wonder whether I shoul dhave just left them to wash with normal washing.
