Incontenance sheets

[2boysnamedR]

I am going to brave it and try to get ds dry at night this year. I am looking for bed pads which you put on top of sheets that you can wip off in the night. Washable one. Like brolly sheets but hopefully cheaper ( I can see us needing at least five!).

He is six but I'm sure he has a lot of pee! He can soak a pull up.

Oh I don't want to do this. But I guess I have to one day. I am seeing a pead soon so I can ask about retained reflexes and incontenance clinic but I think at six I will just be told its normal ( clearly to me it's linked to his dyspraxia and lack of body awareness).

My life will smell of wee....

can't remember how expensive it was but when I was heavily pregnant and worried about my waters breaking on our new mattress I bought a sheet in boots which is a square - sort of single bed width size? it is slightly almost quilted in texture on the top of it, doesn't feel like it is waterproof but the underside of it plainly is. machine washable and didn't make you feel horribly sweaty. Is that the sort of thing you want? I have a feeling it wasn't that cheap though - £10ish?

Yes that's the kind of thing. Ideally less than £15 so that sounds ok cost wise. I will have a look on boots online

it was like this one

If he is wetting after being the toilet and has the accident whilst still asleep the he is probably not ready. I bought the pads (overflowed them), then the mattress and finally the alarm which woke everyone but him. I put pressure on him with all these trials which lead to failure for him to become dry which as he was not producing the hormone was never going to happen.Eventually it happened at 9 and never had an accident again.

No not looked at that website, I will have a look. I don't hold out much hope, but was planning to try him for a month and see how he gets on. He doesn't want to wear pull ups but they are always soaking. I know he won't wake up if wet. I don't think he will care tbh but it's worth a go then I will know I tried for the incontinance referral. Neither of us will be stressed by it. I have very low expectations on that front :0) also he does a residential trip at school in a year or so. If I know he won't be dry I don't want to send him. I can't see how the school could possibly deal with it in a discrete way.

You can get medication from the GP for residential trips, I tried them as a trial for a weekend to ensure they worked and he was fine so no problem with trips.
