Family Forum / Parenting / Mothers / August 2003Bed wetting
Ciarán has been potty trained since April, and apart from the odd accident he's been dry at night since then too. Lately he has been getting up early and changing out of his wet pyjamas before I even notice, I don't know until I go into his room to make up his bed, or take notice of which pyjamas he's wearing! We have the discussion everyday that he's not going to wet the bed again that night. He is supposed to be going to stay in my parent's house in a couple of weeks time and he has been told that if this problem isn't sorted out by then he won't be allowed to go on his sleepover. I know this is related to Liam being born, but we are at a loss as to how to sort it out. Ciarán is still getting lots of cuddles and attention and we have been telling him, as we always do that we love him. Any suggestions? -- Marie Mum of 3 DD born 03/98, DS1 born 11/99 DS2 born 08/03 -- Marie Mum of 3 DD born 03/98, DS1 born 11/99 DS2 born 08/03 >Ciarán has been potty trained since April, and apart from the odd accident >he's been dry at night since then too.

You might want to ask him if he would like to go back to pullups at night time for a while until he can stay dry though. >-- >Marie >Mum of 3 >DD born 03/98, DS1 born 11/99 DS2 born 08/03  SignatureDorothy There is no sound, no cry in all the world that can be heard unless someone listens ..

Then he can handle pulling off a layer himself when he wets. He still is very young and bed wetting is so normal I wouldnt stress it at all. I think its mean of grandma to not let him sleepover if hes wetting, children so cant help it when they are asleep.

I was looking for suggestions on how to get him to stop wetting! And I don't think my mum is being mean at all, she is being good enough to take him for an overnight visit I'm not going to expect her to do a clean up. Even if she was ok with him going I would probably still wait until he was dry at night. He would be sharing my 12 yr old brother's bed so I doubt it would be very nice on him either. -- Marie Mum of 3 DD born 03/98, DS1 born 11/99 DS2 born 08/03 >>>Ciarán has been potty trained since April, and apart from the odd > [quoted text clipped - 57 lines] > Mum of 3 > DD born 03/98, DS1 born 11/99 DS2 born 08/03 Sorry Marie, I shouldnt have been rude about your Mum :( And your right it wouldnt be nice at al for his brother.

Lol! *I* can say bad things about my mother but nobody else can, my dh gets that all the time........it must be a complicated mother daughter thing. Anyway Sarah, thanks for the suggestions........it looks like I am just going to have to grin and bear this phase and hope things improve, as there's not much I can *do* to make him stop. He's managed every 2nd night during the last week. -- Marie Mum of 3 DD born 03/98, DS1 born 11/99 DS2 born 08/03 |
