Question from a newbie: what do you do at nap time?

I'm starting potty training with DD (2.4y) today but there's one thing I'm unsure about. She naps for about 1.5h after lunch; do I put a nappy on her for her nap, or avoid giving her a drink just before her nap and hope she stays dry? I have some absorbent maternity mats that I can pop under her sheet in case of accidents, but what do people normally do?

I left nappies on at nap and bedtimes to start with until they got the hang of it. Then I dropped the nappy at nap time and finally bed time Smile

I'm leaving nappies on.. DS naps for 2 hours and always wakes up soaked. I figure once we tackle daytime wees we can deal to naps.

Thanks both, that's helpful. She seems to be weeing every hour at the moment, so I don't suppose I can expect her to stay dry through her nap yet.

Dry through sleep is different to dry when awake so the timings don't count. I went cold turkey on nappies - pants full time - and for the first couple of weeks made sure he went to sleep on a disposable bed cover/pad thingy (I think they might have a more catchy name in RL Grin)
