It was a million years ago here, but someone suggested to me that we put on the bed sheet, rubber mat, sheet. So, if the child had an accident he could remove the sheet and mat, change pants and go back to bed. It also helps some kids to get a late night wake up - 11 pm - walk to the bathroom and back to bed.


Yes, we used the rubber mat with the soft cotton on both sides, we had 2 of them so the mattress never got ruined in the event of 2 accidents in one night. We also tried the midnight wake up and trip to the potty which worked sort of but she was such a heavy sleeper she was just going along with it in a sleepwalking state so it never became a habit as we had hoped. Ultimately the issue went away when the muscles developed enough to keep her through the night.
