I was wondering what you used when your children started wearing underwear at night. DD protests wearing a diaper at night and is capable of not wetting the bed...most of the time. But when she does have an accident, she has to come in our room since her bed gets wet. This morning that resulted us in not going back to sleep (so i've been up since 5).
Anyway, we obviously need something to make the bed waterproof, so that i can just change the sheets and put her back to bed.
The waterproof overlays like these: http://www.bedwettingstore.com/Beddi...rProofPads.htm
seem convient, I wouldn't have to change the sheets; I would just have to take the overlay off when she pees in the bed.
But i'm concerned that the pee would run off and onto the sheets.
Then there are the usual waterproof matress pads. My main concern i that I don't want it to feel like you're sleeping on plastic (i sleep with her occasionally). It also seems like more of a PITA since i'd have to competely strip the bed. But it might be more reliable than the overlay.
Have you guys used one or the other (or both)? Please tell me your experiences.
Also, I'm not sure if DD peed in her sleep or if she woke up, tried to yell for me and I didn't wake up and hear her in time. She won't get off of her bed to come get me (our room is right next to ours. literally 3 steps from her door to mine). ...I'm not sure what to do about this. We close her door at ngiht because she doesn't want the dog to sleep on her bed and because we don't want her to wake up. What can I do that would ensure that I hear her in time? I'm going to talk with her about coming to get me, but I doubt she'll be willing to get off the bed.

) and then our regular quilted mattress covers overtop to get rid of the plasticky sensation on all our beds, as the kids move around in the night and one of them might have a night-time dipe leak and another sometimes wets the bed. The shower curtain can slide around the bed a bit - the fitted plastic sheet is best. When someone wets, we strip the sheets and mattress cover and remake with just sheets and suffer with the plasticky sensation till next bedding change. We don't have backup quilted mattress covers.
