Practical tips for night time bedwetting

[OhHobnobs]

I'm not concerned developmentally, just the practical management side!

Ive got the bed double layered with mattress protector, dry nights bed mst, sheet, bed mat, sheet for a quick change in the night.

But what about the duvet and pillow if they get wet?

Mu kids duvet goes in the wash then hangs up to dry for 2-3 days. We don't have space to store a 2nd duvet nor do we have a tumble dryer or a laundrette at hand. So its then sleeping bag on the bed whixh they hate.

What do others do?

If it was warm enough we just used the empty duvet cover, or used his old toddler duvet on a colder night. Do you have a blanket? Anything really. Could always buy a spare if it is happening a lot?

Don't have the space to store it unfortunately and only hsve baby blankets.

Sorry I somehow missed the space element. Could you buy them a snuggly blanket and hang on the back of their bedroom door? Something they can choose? Lots about at the moment

Vaccum bags were my friend at this point. Coverless duvet in a vacuum bag will take up even less space than a sleeping bag normally does (Especially if you vac pack the sleeping bag so they can share storage space)

We have a duvet that drys in an hour or so - it’s totally synthetic. I can’t remember what brand, but it was super cheap in Argos. I’d swap to one of those. Neither a duvet hanging for three days nor a cold bed sound fun over winter.

I am lifting my child for a dream wee every night at 10pm currently. When they haven't napped, they sleep too deeply to wake and ask for the loo. It has reduced accidents. I've also got a brolly sheet from the Nappy Lady.

Could you try a waterproof duvet cover or a large washable waterproof blanket over the duvet? That might save having to wash the whole duvet every time. A spare pillowcase and a couple of absorbent towels nearby could also make night-time changes easier. I’d be tempted to keep an old blanket handy as a temporary backup too.

A washable duvet might be good? They are designed to be machine washed and dry quickly next to a radiator in just a couple of hours

Second the waterproof duvet cover, saves washing the duvet and dries over the course of the next day to be put back on. I got ours from Amazon.
