We got naturpedic to avoid PFAS. However, if the child wets the bed they need to go back to pull ups until ready.

Naturepedic mattress protectors are great. Got mine as a hand me down, not sure I would have put that much money in a crib mattress protector since I have only one child.

I've tried a few "waterproof" mattress protectors off of Amazon but they leak repeatedly. We're desperate for recommendations from other parents that have found something that works. Help!

Put two on the bed.

It's a developmental process. Either her body is ready to stay dry at night, or it's not. If she's not able to hold it overnight yet, it doesn't matter what she does or doesn't have on at night.

Unless she’s experienced some kind of severe trauma she’s 1000% ready at 4.

Never met a pediatrician who agreed with that. Maybe 90% of kids are able to go all night but the other 10%, you are just torturing yourself if you try to make it happen before they are.

Incorrect. A not insignificant number of kids don't start producing the right chemical to tell their body to hold it until they hit puberty. Pediatrician will tell you at 4 it is 100% normal not to be dry at night.

But what about waking up in the middle of the night and choosing to pee in their diaper instead of getting out of bed to go pee?

why can't people just be helpful on this forum?

I used one of these on my bed when I was postpartum for all my kids (milk, etc) and then I got ones for my kids' beds when they were potty training. pee, vomit, you name it - nothing got to the mattress!

A four year old should be completely toilet trained for day and night.

Without commentary on the potty training v night training,

You need a thin waterproof layer on the bottom, then an absorbent layer on top. There are washable incontinence pads online.

That’s the main thing, is getting the liquid absorbed.

You can sandwich these so they’re easier to pull off in the night. Mattress, thin waterproof cover, pee pads, thin waterproof cover, pee pads, sheet. Then if you have a problem at night, you just pull off the sheet and the top pee pads and cover and put a new sheet on.

These are lessons from eldercare though and I really think if this is happening a lot you should have a pull up.

Nope. Many 4 year olds are not physically ready to be dry all night.
