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.

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.

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'.

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!

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.
