Making Sheet Changing at Night Easier

Night time accidents are common for many children. It can be upsetting for a child to wake up wet and tired. Not only are they awaken out of their sleep, but now they are wet, have to get changed into dry clothes, and can't get back into bed until the sheets are changed. Add in the fact that both mom and child are exhausted and it can be downright miserable.

Here's something that can make sheet changing easier at night:

♥When you make your child's bed, put the sheets and mattress pads on in layers.
I.e. put a mattress pad on the mattress, then a sheet, then layer another mattress pad and another sheet. Make sure the mattress pad/cover is waterproof! If you have several quilts, you can also just layer quilts and mattress pads instead.

♥The layering works great for cribs too! My babies used to leak out of their diapers during the night all the time! The last thing I wanted to be doing in the middle of the night was put a new sheet on the mattress. It's hard enough during the day, let alone when you're tired and your baby is wet!
To make it easier on myself, and on Baby, I started layering, as well as trying an . When baby had a night time blow out, I'd just pull off the wet sheet and cover, and voila'! Underneath was a dry sheet waiting for baby to rest on! It made things SO much easier!

If you have a child that is potty training or having occasional bed wetting, I recommend you give the sheet layering a try!

Also, If you have a hard time with day time crib sheet changing, you might want to try the Ultimate Crib Sheet. The mattress pad and sheet are all in one. I have just one of these, but found it easier to change then regular fitted sheets (sheets can be tough to get on when you have a bumper pad and/or are short!).
