4 yr old w/ Anxiety - Night dipes or No?

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
Last week we tried going without night dipes for my 4yr old dd. My 3 yr old's don't wear night dipes, so she doesn't want to now either.

Three nights in a row she woke up in the middle of the night soaked head to toe and had a complete meltdown because she didn't want a different sheet, or a different pillow, or even different pajamas.

She has GAD (generalized anxiety disorder) and is very particular about things. (She has to have a certain blanket, turned a certain way etc). When she gets really upset, she wakes up the other kids.

So the question is...do we continue trying without diapers or give it more time? The other issue is, when she wears a diaper, she poops in it every morning before she takes it off. She won't take it off until I insist.

Any ideas?

it sounds like fighting w/ her wont help, so maybe if you cont. w/o diapers long enough, will she get grossed out with pee pajames and sheets (if you dont change them) ?

that is something i would try ... i wonder how long she could last being cold and wet for days on end?
