- Cover his mattress with plastic.
- Be ready for a nighttime accident so that you can make the cleanup easy and uneventful in the morning.
- Let him sleep on a towel he can remove if he wets.
- Give him a change of nightclothes to put on himself if he needs to.
- Leave a plastic hamper with a tight cover in his room where he can put wet sheets, towels, and pajamas.
- Offer to buy him a special nighttime potty that you and he can paint with luminous paint. Put it by his bed “to use at night.”
- Set up a routine of emptying his bladder before he goes to sleep. Maybe he could use his nighttime potty for this.
- Use a nightlight.
- Suggest that you can get him up before you go to bed at night, if he agrees. (Some pediatricians recommend against this. But if it is offered supportively rather than punitively, I have found such nighttime waking to help reduce accidents later on in the night.)
- When you do, be sure he’s awake and crawls out of bed on his own (“Remember, you wanted me to help you”) to go to his night potty. But be sure he gets enough sleep.
- If the above steps are not working, put the child back in diapers, or into pull-ups.
- It may embarrass him to go back into diapers. But you are trying to let him get the feeling of a dry bed in the morning, so that he will be less likely to get used to a wet one. This may help him learn to begin to rouse when he starts to wet himself. Being well rested may too.
- Limit beverages from suppertime on, but don’t make a big deal of it. Be sure to avoid soda drinks with caffeine, as they stimulate urination.
