Bed wetting

[MamaDuckling]

Hello,

My 4.5yr old DS still occasionally sets the bed. It comes in spates, then stops. We've moved a lot recently so some of it I put down to that, but I also know boys can take a lot longer the be physiologically ready to go dry through the night - I'm not worried.

My question is, how do working parents cope with day after day of wet sheets? I only have one duvet (multiple sheets of course), but he wets the duvet too. How do I go to work all day, and get the sheets clean and dry? Should I just go back to night nappies?

Get an extra duvet/ quilt? One set on, one in wash.

Just buy another duvet. The ikea ones are cheap. We have also put dd in a sleeping bag before. She thinks it’s quite the adventure!

Sleeping bag great idea.

My almost 9 and 10 year old still wet even though they are on tablets. DD isn't so bad at wetting duvet but DS does. I've just bought him a water proof duvet cover as sick of room stinking - he somehow wraps himself up in it so it ends up properly wet. It's not ideal but does the job.

We do have a spare duvet which is our visitors duvet which he uses sometimes but I don't want that stinking up either

He's only young, put him in nappies or pull ups at Night, less hassle for all

House full of bed wetters here at one point. My advice would be not to go back to pull ups but buy a spare cheap duvet that you can wash.

Have a chat to him every night just before saying goodnight about how if he needs the toilet he can get up and use the loo. Explain how that will be more comfortable for him etc.

Try to be patient, he will get there in the end.

Good luck.
