Is your 3.5 yr old dry at night?

Our ds2 has been dry during the day for ages so we thought we'd try to crack the night times too.

After a about 6 weeks its' turned into a disaster!

I'd say I have to wash his sheets at least 3 times a week becuase he wets the bed. We make him got to the toilet before bed, I put him on the toilet when I go to bed. The only time I can guarantee he won't do it is if I have to get up during the night I'll then put him on the toilet again. I'm certainly not going to set my alarm for 3:30 am to do a toilet trip though!

Do you think we should go back to nappies? He is mortified at the idea of wearing them again but the washing sheets is driving me doo-lally.

I doesn't wake up when he wee's either so when he gets up in the morning, after sleeping in wet PJ's and bed that then dries, he smells like he's been sleeping in a public loo. Not nice!

I didn't realise lifting was not recommended now. The problem we have is that sometimes he needs a nappy change when we go bed, or he floods out of his nappy by morning.
Does anyone cut down on late afternoon drinks? Is it recommended? We have tried to drop the before bed drink of milk, but seems so unfair as DS2 (16 months) has a drink of milk at bedtime, so DS1 wants one too.

glad to read this - dd is 3.2 and in nappies at night. Don't think she's ready, it's v v wet in the am
