HHHHEEEEELLLLPPPP! I am perplexed. mind-boggled. confused. exasperated. and tired, oh yes, I'm tired. ... all right I may be exaggerating just a wee little bit but I am really confused. On our vacation last week(which I promise to post pics of soon) Aidan, for the first time EVER, pee'd the bed!! Of course it was on a comforter that belonged to the bed and breakfast we were staying at, which was very embarassing. But he's never, ever completely wet the bed. Sometimes he has woken up with a teeny bit in his underwear but he wakes up and goes to the bathroom or else cries for me because he's not really awake yet. We have always been impressed that as a 2 1/2 year old he would wake up in the night to go pee.
Well, one night might have been a fluke. We were in a strange place, going to bed at odd hours...but then he did it AGAIN last night!!! Two times in a seven day period? C'mon!! Sooo...what's going on? Is he just sleeping too deep? He's almost four people, as in "in two days Aidan will be four!"
I don't like changing pee sheets in the middle of the night, especially full bladder ones. Why is he not waking up? Should I make him go before I go to bed each night? Is this just random and won't create a pattern? He really doesn't seem bothered by it. I mean, he doesn't like it but in the mornings he is pretty matter-of-fact about the whole thing.
Nathan: Aidan, why did you pee the bed? Why didn't you get up to go in the toilet?
Aidan: Weeeell, the first fing is I don't know. The other fing is I just didn't. And the fird fing, is I did.
I was cracking up. A rough translation is: He doesn't know why. He just didn't wake up and he just pee'd the bed.
Any advice? tips? ideas?
Oh, one more tidbit from this morning. He was in the living room/kitchen area talking to Nate and I hear:
Nathan:Your my baby, Aidan.
Aidan: I'm NOT a baby.
Nathan: Well, you're not a baby but you're MY baby.
Aidan: yeah, I guess you're right.

This happened to both of my brothers growing up because they grew faster than their bladders.
Their pediatrician (mind you this was 20 years ago) gave them some sort of nasal spray that they took at night that helped them not pee the bed. It worked believe it or not, but there were still occasional accidents.
I would say, talk to your pediatrician if it gets to be a problem. It may truly be something he can't help. Email me if you need me to check with my mom on what medicine it was.
Good luck!
He has a check up on friday, maybe I'll bring it up then. Until then, I guess the poor boy is going to have to be woken up before we go to bed. he's actually pretty good about it really
The Urologist and children's told me until 7 or 8 they aren't fully expected to be able to make it through the night. My guess is that he just is sleeping more soundly on those nights he is having more accidents. I wouldn't worry to much about it unless it happens more and more.
Yeah, I dont have any advice, but I think Aidan is so funny. This story does help me realise I'm not in the clear. Baylor never wets the bed, even before I potty trained him he didn't pee through the night, but I guess you're never save.
Maybe if you would stop putting his hand in a cup of warm water during the night this wouldn't be happening!
Ever think of that! :)
I have absolutely NO idea what to tell you except Odo-Ban is really great to spray on the mattress if the pee made it into the mattress itself.
Good luck!
