Need opinions ASAP on Pull-Ups for nighttime!!
We are going away next week and while my son is potty trained and has been wearing underwear at night, he has been having alot of accidents lately. Since I really do NOT want to do laundry on the cruise and don't want his mattress to be wet everynight, I was thinking of using pullups for the week.
Is this bad because I weaned him off of these or is it ok just for the week?
Thanks :)

Do NOT bring pullups! That would be going backwards! Major setback.
Instead, I would go out and buy those mattress toppers that you could put on top of the bed to have him lie on. Bring 2 in case he wets one in the middle of the night, you can just swap it out. Also buy a full or queen sized. If he's a wiggler, the twin doesn't cover as much area.
You can bring a small bottle of liquid detergent and just handwash it out if he does have an accident and hangdry it in the bathroom.
GL!

Re: Need opinions ASAP on Pull-Ups for nighttime!!
How long has he been potty trained for? Did he just start to wet again at night? Also is it everynight or just once in awhile? I only ask because my son was potty trained about 3yrs old but we had trouble at night so I would wait until he was sleeping and then put a diaper on him (I don't use pull ups because he would leak threw them and I find them to be to expensive for just using a night jmo) He hated diapers that's why I had to wait until he was sleeping and then for the days he would wake up dry I would make a huge deal about it, then he would wake up and take the diaper off his self and hold it up in the air and say "look mommy no pee pee at night" after a few wks of being dry I have now stopped the diapers at night and it's been a wk and knock on wood no accidents (I do have a sheet protector on the bed just in case). My point is I wouldn't stress about the night if he's wetting maybe he's just not ready and needs a little more time so I would just throw a diaper on him only at night and take it off 1st thing in the am. I know I'm probably going to be the odd ball on this but I wouldn't want to worry about any accidents at night while being on a cruise. Good Luck.

He has been going to bed in underwear for about 2-3 months. He has had accidents here and there but he has had one every single night for the last week and has not gone an entire week for awhile. I don't want to go backwards but I also don't want to spend my entire cruise doing laundry and the mattress pad will get wet and that would have to be cleaned also everyday-ugghhh!! Thanks :)
