No More Diapers

Phoebe has been off diapers in the day since she was about 32 months old. Some children are off day-diapers earlier and some, later. I guess every child is different and they have their timing. However, it is only recently (about 2 months back) that we started letting her go off diapers at night. Since all of us slept on the same bed, we have to be creative in the arrangement to ensure that all of us still sleep on the same bed, without Phoebe wetting our bed and soiling the whole entire king size bedsheets and mattress. So how was our arrangement like ? Take a look.

Phoebe will sleep on the small mattress, which has a small waterproof protector under the mattress sheet.

Anyway, it was not very successful initially, Phoebe would pee and then wake up in wet pyjamas.

But we have the small waterproof mattress protector, so we only need to change the small mattress sheet and her PJ. This went on for about 2 weeks, with nights when she peed consecutively and I had to get up every night to change her and put the wet sheet and clothes into the washing machine. But towards the third week, things got better. Phoebe wet her bed less frequently. Before she goes to bed, I will bring her to the toilet first. In the middle of the night when I need to relieve myself, I will also bring her along.

Phoebe has not wet herself for more than two weeks now. These few nights, I did not even wake her up to pee. She can hold her pee till 7+ in the morning when she wakes up to get ready for school. I would consider it a success! :) Finally, after 47 months, Phoebe has officially graduated from the Diaperless School! We can save $$ and keep the remaining XL diaper for Reuben :)
