Should I put a nappy on him?

[Eilleen]

Had a very very busy day today. After school, the kids attended a birthday party (3:30pm) then straight after, we had dinner, then straight to bed. It wasn't until now that I've realised that DS (3.5yrs old) has gone to bed without having gone to the toilet since 3:30!!

Now he's been dry at nights for a couple of months now, but since he hasn't gone at all (and has eaten and drunk HEAPS) since 3:30, should I put a nappy on him? He's a heavy sleeper, so I know I can put a nappy on him without waking him up.

What would you do??

could you just pop a waterproof mat and a towel under him jic?

I would leave him & hope for the best.

I would leave him without nappy but rush to the toilet as soon as he wakes, or put a potty near his bed

what's your weather like? If its fine and sunny I'd pop a towel under him but if its like here and constantly raining I'd pop a nappy on cos I wouldn't want anymore washing!

[mumtojude]

I wouldn't.

Can't you carry him to the toilet Eilleen??
I take James at 10.30pm & he hardly opens his eyes, goes straight back to sleep.

I tried doing that with Harry once and he nearly fell in the toilet.

He's really heavy so can't really carry him to the loo.

Okay, so I've put a towel under him. Let's hope for the best!

If he's a heavy sleeper, i would give him a dream change, put a night nappy on him.

obviously i'm not a risk taker and am way too lazy to risk making more work for myself (e.g washing all the bed linen if the worst happens).

and shock horror, i'm in the minority (again). LOL
