Can't sneak past toddlers bedroom to bed without waking him

[charmie]

Yes totally understandable.  I held off PT for similar reasons too.

What I was thinking is whether you could try to limit liquid intake before bedtime.  Eg.  We do dinner around 5.30 and then no more drinks unless she is sick, sore throat etc.  Katrina is potty trained during the day but still wears a nappy at night.  I also find that when I fasten her nappy high above the belly button rather than below, she is less likely to have leaks.  Katrina leaks from her tummy area, not sides.

Thanks Charm.

To be honest, apart from his bottle, he tends not to drink that much at tea time, he's more of a 'wander round after lunch drinking' kinda guy.

I've tried cutting the inner nappy a bit differently from how I was doing and that seems to be helping with the leak issue.  Plus DS has started occassionally holding himself so there will be a little bit of wee but not much, and he wakes up early busting for a new nappy (he is still sooo tired when this happens so much to grumpy to sit on the loo).

Thanks for the thought.  If (ha, I mean when) his nappies start leaking again I may try offering him water a little while before his tea so he has time to pee out before bedtime.

He leaks from legs, tummy, you name it but no big leaks for a few days so I'm hopeful.

Oh Charm, sorry about that.  I get the same whenever I try advising a friend on sleep  Even recommending the BW books is enough to guarantee a stint of night wakings 

My new double nappying method has failed dismally a few times but tbh I was so overjoyed that DS slept those nights that I didn't care (we've had another ear infection and sleep has got a bit crazy).  I think I've come to the conclusion that I'm just going to have to put up with washing a sleeping bag every day and make sure I stick to the terry cloth next time around so I can double, trebble, use boosters...
