I agree. But they sell bed liners that you just put on top of the sheet. It is plastic on the bottom and some sort of absorbant material on the top. If she wets, you can just throw it out and the bed is as good as new. Pampers do them, they are called "Pampers BedMats", if she's dry 90% of the time, this is probably by far the cheapest method, a pack contains 10 or 12 and you'll probably use 1 pack. My mum saw them and bought us a pack, we've used 2 or 3 with the first child, maybe we'll finish them with the second! The GoodNites do seem to hold quite a bit, and you don't have to throw them away every morning if she's been dry all night. That certainly drops the cost significantly if you're not going through one a day. Best wishes, Ericka |

You could fold an old washcloth in half and stitch it down. Then place it
inside the training pants, and stitch down if you want. Barbara in SC |

My 2.5 year old stays dry at nights 90% of the time. I put her in diapers at night just in case if she has an accident. I'd rather not waste diapers anymore. Does anyone have any ideas on how to modify her regular underpants and add a liner, etc that I can wash and re-use? If she has an accident she wakes me up immediately. She's not going to go back to sleep unless I change her. I just want to get rid of diapers all together. The training pants are rather expensive and I'd rather sew them if I can. Any ideas are appreciated. I used the cotton training pants because my son would wake when it started and it wouldn't even get onto the bed really. I also had purchased a couple of wetting mat protectors from Right Start or something like that. They just really went over the part of the bed where the child was under the sheet, one side was cloth, the other plastic (I had a terrible time making DH understand the plastic part went on the bottom). It was not a hassle to take off and wash. I bet you could put it over the sheet as well too. The training pants may seem expensive now, but they last through several children and may turn out to be worth it in the long run. They are washable and bleachable and can be reused. My daughter just up night trained on her own before the age of 2, but I still put those cotton training pants on her just in case for the whole next year. She didn't mind because they were cotton and looked like undies. I will be searching for them and pulling them out again for my third baby too. They looked like this, but both of these look bigger than the ones I bought years ago. Same idea though. I think each of mine also cost around $14 too. http://www.rightstart.com/global/sto...ndex~1 0.html |

Another nightime tip I used with my first son.....he went to bed at 9 p.m. and I went to bed anywhere from 11 p.m. to 2 a.m. - I picked him up and put his sleepy little self onto the potty anywhere in that time span before I went to bed, especially if I could gage he had more liquids in the afternoon that would seem to lead to a potential "accident'. |

Any ideas are appreciated. You can never be too prepared! Just wanted to share what this Mom of a preemie did for CD's, so if you have a wee one this is a good solution http://www.mybaby..com/Blog/cosmoblue/Item/445/ My SIL is having twins and isn't sure what she's going to do diaper wise, so I'm pushing for wee CDs! |

Any ideas are appreciated. Trying bringing her to the bathroom just before you go to bed. Usually they never even know. We call it "the 11:00 squeeze". My dd (also 2.5) doesn't need it but ds did. Also, I have a waterproof mattress liner but she sleeps on one of those soft, rubberized crib pads so if she has an accident in the middle of the night I can just take that out instead of changing her sheets.
