I have an almost 8 year old who is only dry 50% of the time and that is an improvement which has happened in the last couple of months. If he has never been dry then I think maybe you will just have to go along with nappies or pullups until he is ready. Apart from anything all the washing gets to you after a while!

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2001 Report Share Posted July 13, 2001 > yours soggerly > > Chris Have you tried pampers care mats? At least you wouldn`t get all sweaty like you would with plastic/rubbery sheets. Perhaps he is coming in in the night because he wakes up feeling wet and cold ? I felt at the time that my children couldn`t consciously 'choose' not to wee in the night. For the sake of sleep and sanity I left my children in nappies till they were ripping them off themselves or staying dry for a few nights. Even if they were of school age - well, no one at school need know! Luckily mine were dry at night by 4. Best wishes Barbara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My eldest is a bedwetter, every night until recently, fingers crossed the last month or so it's down to about once a week(at one point I was washing sheets, covers and duvet - 2 extra loads every day ugh!). Next child was dry at night by 4 - in nappies till then, third child is 3 and 2 months and still in nappies, and if she's anything like her sister will be for some time yet.

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2001 Report Share Posted July 13, 2001 I wouldn't worry at 3. My 5 1/2 year old had her first dry night yesterday and she's a girl. Cerys hoping for another dry night -----Original Message----- From posseting to bedwetting... And although my pelvic floor is not what it ought, it is my 3 year old - I do not know what to do. We put him on the toilet just before he goes to bed, as soon as his eyes flicker open hes back on the throne, don't give him drinks....and he still manages to wee the bed. Worse still he often comes into our room......and well you can imagine. So apart from putting plastic covers on ALL beds and wearing our waterproof coats to bed WHAT NEXT! Surely not back to nappies please. I have this kind of philosophy that if the nappy is on then they'll use it? What advise do you have for me yours soggerly Chris Mother of (gorgeous) deep sleep child. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The washing is definately getting to me - They should make really hideous pullups that they wouldn't be seen dead in - to help wean them off. Any ideas for hideous pullups? Gingham? LOL I may crack under washing pressure - but it has been about four months without any nappies so he may not take kindly to going back into them? Thanks for the comforting thought that I am not alone with this issue Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 14, 2001 Report Share Posted July 14, 2001 Bedwetting at three? Disgusting! Seriously may you not be expecting a tad too much? My boys (all 3 of them) bedwet till in their early teens and the girls a bit less. Tammy puts her two boys in pullups at night just so she doesn't have to change wet beds every morning, and they're 5 and 8!
