In the middle of the night, while you are sound asleep, your child wakes you up because he wet the bed. You then know that you will have to completely change your bed and it is far from being a pleasure, especially at 3 a.m…. To avoid this, here is a tip that will allow you to get back to bed quickly .
Changing the sheets is a real chore, but when you have to do it in the middle of the night, because of a bedwet or diaper leak, while everyone is asleep, it’s even worse! To avoid this, here is a simple tip that you may have never thought of.
A tip for not making the bed again in the middle of the night
To quickly put a child back to bed, some parents opt for an easy solution: cover the pee stain with a towel and let the child go back to bed. Besides the fact that he risks moving it while sleeping and waking you up again because his pajamas will still be wet, this only increases the amount of laundry to wash the next day.
Making a mille-feuille of sheets and mattress pads, the real solution
Also called the onion or lasagna technique, this tip will truly change your life. It simply involves, when you make your child’s bed, layering a mattress pad on the mattress, then a fitted sheet and starting the operation again with a second mattress pad and a second sheet.
In the event of nocturnal enuresis, vomit or diaper leak during the night, simply change the child and remove the soiled sheet and its pad, which will have ensured a seal with the sheet below. And there you have a clean bed, into which your child will just have to slide. And you can go back to bed on your own too, without having to change all the bed linen!
