    she wants to wear undies to bed ... HELP!

    Nina is tt during the day now, which is great. But she wants to wear undies to bed at night. There have been a few nights where she'll wake up and want to go to the toilet at night, and many other nights she doesn't do any wees at all during the night, and has a dry nappy in the morning. But there are nights where she does do a few wees.
    I've tried mcn, disposables & disposable pull ups, but she wants to wear undies. I've also tried telling her that they're her 'night time undies', and that worked for a week or so, but it's not working any more.
    So what do I do, I think she's too early for undies at night, isn't she??

    Depends. My cousins daughter started wearing undies to bed at night at 20 months old.
    My DS is still in nappies at night, TT in the day and hes 3 this month and shows no sign of being dry in the morning any time soon.

    If she is dry or goes to the toilet at night more often than not, then Id put her in undies at night and see how you go. Make sure to get some good mattress protectors (or garbage bags) and stand by sheets just in case

    Good Luck

    Tried that one as well. In the middle of the night, she'll take the nappy off, try and put the undies back on, but falls asleep before they're up! We found her the other night with no pants on at all.
    I think we'll have to bite the bullet and put undies on her. Must get a couple spare mattress protectors and sheets I think.

    I would put 2 spare sheets sets in her room, spare clothes and let her wear undis top bed.. Take her to the toilet before you go to bed or just go in and whisper do you need to go to the toilet.. I never wanted to do that with my boys but my youngest was very determined so we put night undies on and took him to the toilwt around 10 at night and we stopped it after a few weeks..

    if she has say more then 3 wet beds in a row sit er down and talk about her body isn't ready to go so long without weeing... and so on and so on

    I just went through this with DD1. She always wet during the night and still doesn't get up to go to the toilet. I got some of those mattress protectors, Brolly sheets, you just put them over the top of the regular sheets and if they do wet you just change the brolly sheet. Really easy.

    For DD it didn't last long because she wet a couple of times a night and after a couple of weeks she decided on her own that she wasn't ready and went back to trainer pants. But if Nina does go dry she may be more ready for it.

    Good luck
