Odd PL'ing issue

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
DS is 3 and has been PL'd (except for a bit of a setback a week or so ago that lasted a day and a half due to a big school transition) since February. He was night time PL'd since about the end of March, but recently has been having accidents at night again, so I am putting him in Pull-Ups at night. He doesn't mind, and knows that if he can go a week with no night time accidents, he gets to wear underwear to bed.

Anyway, he has been going to bed in his Pull-Ups and at some point in the night, he reaches down and pulls his penis up and over the top and then he pees. It ends up soaking the sheets, and basically, he might as well be naked. I know he doesn't mean to. He REALLY wants to earn his underwear back at bedtime, but seems to completely understand that pee in Mama's bed is not ok on a regular basis. It is pretty warm in our bedroom this time of year, so I can't do the backward footie pj trick. Any other suggestions?

Try getting him up to pee when you turn in for the night. Our DS can be sat on a little potty and stay 75% asleep, pee if he needs to, and then flop back down into bed. Even if you have to carry him to the potty, if you keep it quiet and keep the lights off/low, he will probably barely wake up, and that might be enough to get him through the night. I would let him know at bedtime that you will wake him to go potty so he's aware that it will happen. The other thing that sometimes works with DS is that he will say quietly to himself before sleeping, "Body, if you need to make a pee pee, wake up!"

on getting him to go pee when you go to bed.

I know that I always have to go at least once between 8pm and 8am, y'know?
