I too would reccommend lifting the child especially if a son and standing him in front of toilet/bucket and encouraging him to wee wee; (he probably won't even wake fully) just before you yourself retire to bed aswell as using the special "camping" pants to keep "winky" warm in the tent/caravan.I have had 3 boys and only Know what I would do who knows it may work for you.

Have you tried the disposable pull-up pants made for older kids that still wet the bed? They`re not nappies, but perform the same function. It might be worth persuading her tactfully that "camping pants" would save her a lot of worry when she`s sharing with her sister.

Apart from that my best advice is to take two sleeping bags for her so you can swap them over quickly during the night. Most modern bags can be machine washed and tumble dried very easily...at least my Vango ones can, and a junior Vango is only about £15.

We had this problem for a little while with my son when he was about six. It was difficult while camping (no special camping pants his size) but we just got on with the two sleeping bag method. You won`t be the only ones, belive me.

my son (now 14) also wet the bed, still does if he has something to worry about, not so offten now, we took him to the hospital at a spiecial clinic, where they told us to give him plenty to drink, spiecialy water, through the day to strech his bladder, & his body would tell him when his bladder was full, it did work but then he also has desmotabs, tablets for if he goes away anywhere, Can't remember the last time he took them, as i say he hasn't done it for a long time. they told us not to give him tea, coffee, dark fruit juice or coke late at night as they have diaretics(don't know if thats spelt right!!) in he also had an alarm that woke up the kid next door but not him!! i used to put a black bin liner over his airbed, cos i found that was the hardest thing to get dry!! good luck

Hi Donna

All I can say is don't let it spoil going away ,our son  wet the bed till he was 17 we tried everything the best thing to protect a mattress is a terrytowelling backed stretch sheet a little more expesive than a normal sheet available at most bed shops but worth it! as it doesn't make a noise like plastic we never had much luck with the alarm like some others said it woke everyone in the house but him.  and for his own comfortable nights sleep the pull up pants, which were not available when we needed them we had to use extra large disposable but these were only of some use till he was 5, and if it happens when he's older going away with friends the nose spray is a good short term remedy, but non the less we still had great hols. so don't worry and best of luck

You can also buy Dry-Nites age 7 - 11.

We use them for my son.

Good luck with them.

Have a good holiday.

i so wish the dri nites had been around for my older two who both wet the bed into their teens. we tried the descmopressin and it did help, but the alarm just petrified my poor son, he woke up screaming ''its on me, get it off, get it off' in total panic and woke the whole house.

as we were pre the dri-nites i used bed pads and nappies when they were away but i would go for dri nites  and dont worry - it will sort itself out in time.

incidentally my 3rd child was dry day and night at 18 months - so it isnt purely genetic....

As you can see from the responses here, bedwetting is more common than you might think.

We use some form of pull-ups for my younger son whenever he sleeps anywhere other than his own bed.

At home I try to get him to go to the toilet sometime after he's gone to bed (as well as before bed, obviously), that seems to work most times.

hi i have used pampers bed pads in my caravan! we used them last year when we where potty trainning the only advice i can give is to use two on the whole bed just in case she moves around! we also use the same pattend bed spread on our sons bed so he feels like he is at home moster bed at home, moster bed in the caravan this has helped him settle we now have stoped using bed pads but i do use a single mattress protecter on the single dinet it helps if there is an accident and also makes the bed a little more comfy hope this helps

 

sarah, kevin, micheal and joseph
