Toddler overnight question

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
ds (26mo) has been day-time potty trained for a few months now, but still needs a diaper for naps and overnight. He's an extremely heavy wetter. I've tried wool soakers in the past and he soaked right through them even after being lanolized multiple times. I eventually just started using overnight pull-ups which I absolutely hate doing, but don't know what else to do.

Hence, my question to you all Should I give cloth a second chance for sleep use? If so, what would you recommend? Or should I try to work on night time potty training? I have no idea where to begin with this. Ds has just recently started sleeping through the night and it kills me to think of waking him up to pee at night. Even for his naps he'll pee before he goes down, but almost always wakes up with a soaked diaper.

I would just stick with the pull-ups if it weren't for ds absolutely refusing to wear them. It's a huge struggle everyday. I've let him sleep naked on a bunch of towels, but he always wakes up extremely upset when he inevitably pees everyhwere.

Sorry for the long post

TIA!!!

It was about 6 months after my daughter daytime potty learned before she could go all night without wetting. I think for a lot of kids that's a whole new milestone. Good luck!

For my dd we used a FB stuffed with an infant prefold and a hemp doubler overnight. This combo worked for us for about 2 years. She didn't stop having night time accidents until she was almost 4.

DD is 22 mo. Her night time dipe is a prefold, hemp doubler and microterry doubler (all in a Thirsties cover). She rarely, if ever, has any leaking.

I can't speak of the night time potty learning question. DD is working on day time potty learning...my babe is growing up!

We use starbunz super undies for nighttime. Sometimes dd willl wake up and they'll be wet, sometimes not. They're sorta made like a pocket diaper & I use a hemp insert in them. She got to the point where she didn't like wearing a diaper at night and having a few pairs of 'nighttime undies' works pretty well.
