Hi all, this isn’t necessarily potty training, my almost 4 year old is fully trained for the day, he still has a nappy in the night as that hormone hasn’t kicked in yet that concentrates his urine for the morning, BUT, the nappy is constantly leaking out, we’ve tried everything we can think of to ensure this doesn’t happen.
- tried all different sizes of nappies and brands including the plus size ones for more absorbency
- doubled up nappies
- tried nappies vs pants
- currently on very expensive brand peachies which promises to keep them dry
- tactical wees before bed, sometimes he does two!
- no water/juice past 6pm
we have a waterproof mat protecting the mattress and sheet which we just wash whenever it does get wet, but the biggest issue is he gets wet as does his pyjamas, but if he’s sleeping on his back, the duvet cover and duvet itself also gets wet which means constant trips to the launderette as it’s too big to wash and dry at home.
when I google this and products I only ever get solutions for protecting the mattress and I wonder doesn’t anyone else have this issue of the duvet and anything on top getting wet? Surely it can’t be me? And also how on earth are my sons nappies getting so soaked and therefore leaking!?
it’s so disruptive for him and me as it disrupts our sleep, but also when we’re on holiday we have to ask them to change all the sheets etc. it’s a nightmare staying over anyone’s house as this will mean their bedding gets wet!
