Run out of nappies last night. Thought I would give it a go without. Little drip when I lifted him at 11pm. 2am poor lad soaking wet & changed the bed linen (just turned over the quilt)
Should I preserver or get night nappy from the shops.
What can I do to help him be dry at night?
I know it's not classified a problem until he is 7 yrs.
Tips & advice welcome

True. ds was very sleepy this morning I felt so cruel. I also had to be out of the house at 7am so didn't feel top form today!

Many children, especially boys are not ready to be dry at such a young age. I now many children in Reception classes still were nappies at night. My DS was nearly 6 before he cracked it - at his request, not mine. Don't push it if they're not ready.

Continue with nappies at night, don't lift to the loo.
