Aaaargh...5 bed changes per night - before even going to sleep?!! Help!

Hi there

DD is 2years, 7 months and is a real pickle!! Night times or rather evening times are a nightmare - she goes to bed as normal at 7pm wearing a nappy, as soon as we leave the room she whips it off and pees the bed - over and over again! delighted in our coming back into the room to change her cot - am sure its attention/control that she is loving but I can't leave her in a wet bed.

We have tried putting the nappy on the wrong way, all in one vests, two nappies at once, everything! This continues until about 10pm when she eventually drops off....

She isn't potty trained yet - very aware of nappies and not fond of wearing them at all but will not use a potty or the loo - or go outside - happy to use the floor at all times. Am not really fussed about this as I know it will happy when it does. Its just the evening fuss we could really do without..

Any advice anyone or shall we just ride it out?

Pullups? They foxed my DTDs for a bit.

sadly non..already foxed them...nice thinking though!

sellotape wrapped around several times worked for dd3

Leave her in a wet bed and let her see how horrible it is?

Masking tape over the velcro tabs.

Marvellous!! Thank you so much...trip to the hardware store it is tomorrow!!

Thanks

Maybe get some bedmats and make the bed up twice (ie bedmat, sheet, bedmat, sheet) - doesn't solve the problem, but makes changing the bed really quick. If you whip the top sheet off whilst not actually engaging in conversation with DD she might get bored. Could this just be a sneaky way of spending more time with you/lengthening bedtime?

oooh clever thinking..love it thanks
