I have a mattress protector, but stupidly left it out of the wash when i did the sheets and now I'm scared she will pee again and ruin her new mattress. Is it bad to put her back in pull ups at night for a few days??

I wouldn't put her back in pullups. I kinda feel like once you get rid of diapers/pullups you should never go back. My DD had a few random accidents when she was 3-4 at night, at times. Usually they happened together. So we'd have a few over the course of a week or two, and then not again for 6 months. Maybe she was not feeling well, something like that, I don't know exactly what caused it. But I feel like if I put her in pullups, it would give her reason to use them, when she was already used to having to use the potty.

Go out and get a 2nd mattress protector! If one is in the wash you can even put some towels down under the sheets if the mattress protector isn't washed yet. But I wouldn't go the pullups route!

Thanks for the good advice. I do need to buy an extra mattress protector and just take my chances tonight. I don't want her to regress! She trained so easily. I was so lucky.

I had an opisite experariance.....DS was fully potty trained.

Stayed dry for like 2 months at night!

Then shortly after my return to work, he started wetting the bed. Like 10 days in a rowChat Icon I mean pillow soaked....everything!

We went back to pullup & a sticker chart. Each morning since he has been dry!

I will let him tell me when he wants the underwear back at night. I sort of think my return to work was what threw him off & we are in a routine now....but I will give a little more time.
