Last time I told you about how despite J showing no signs of being ready to be giving up night nappies, we decided to give it a go anyway. The surprising thing is that we have had a lot of success.
Nights 1 and 2 were dry. On night 3 we put a nappy on because we had to get up early to catch a train in the morning and we didn’t want to risk a disturbed night beforehand. The nappy was pretty full. the next day.
After that we went back to it. It’s been a bit mixed. What has been positive is that I haven’t been summoned to change the bed before about 3am any day, which suggests that he isn’t producing too much wee through the night. In most cases it’s been 4.30 onwards. There have been quite a few dry nights too and I’d say we were averaging 60:40. This is better than I’d dared to hope for, so I’m very happy.
Another thing that’s interesting is that I’m not washing bedlinen much, if at all, more often than when he was wearing nappies. With nappies they either got full (because he was weeing into them when he was still awake I think) or he’d been messing around down below (as boys do) and the nappy wasn’t ever going to be able to work because his willy was sticking out of it.
He’s motivated to succeed because he’s embarrassed about the nappies and because he wants us to buy him Skylanders as a reward for getting dry. I’m hopeful that he’s on the right track and I just hope things continue to improve from here.
