I only had to do it a few times before he realized that he was not supposed to take his diaper off at bedtime, or int eh middle of the night. Because my son was younger, we would also put a onesie on him and safety pin the crotch. I presume your son is a little too big for this to work. When my girls were little, i was surprised to learn that nighttime bed wetting or the need for a diaper is quite old - up to age 8 for girls and 10 for boys! I am certain that at this point in time that you are more concerned with containing the mess than keeping him dry at night. Good luck. I too have had my son's room decorated w his poop!Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17699715270329149095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809677799536184324.post-53160201722587260322013-04-15T18:40:53.526-04:002013-04-15T18:40:53.526-04:00Oh my, I hope you can get this worked out very qui...Oh my, I hope you can get this worked out very quickly.

We've only had to deal with this once, G had never had any accidents so we were putting her to bed in undies and apparently one night she pooped and...didn't get up? slept through it? Unknown, but in the morning it was everywhere and she had a horrible rash from it. We're back to diapers at night, but we've never had a repeat, knock on wood. I hope you get some good advice because if it happens again, I'm coming here.

Perhaps the act of relaxing in bed, beginning to fall asleep triggers the urge to GO. <br /><br />Is it that he has to GO, but since he's already been put to bed doesn't want to get up or doesn't have the verbal skills to let you know? <br /><br />Ideally you don't want him pooping in his room, but if you have to choose going in the port-a-potty or in his bed and all over everything else...well, it seems like an easy decision.<br /><br />Use this time to try and identify the "trigger", if you will, and then begin adjusting bedtime routines as necessary.<br /><br />Just my 2 cents from a mom who experienced this many, many years ago. :)<br /><br />Good luck.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01244215307729718559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809677799536184324.post-51706159047198194272013-04-15T13:08:09.624-04:002013-04-15T13:08:09.624-04:00Can you retrain him for #2 to go in the morning or...Can you retrain him for #2 to go in the morning or early in the day rather at night?

It was horrible. We finally ...We went through this! It was horrible. We finally ended up using duct tape on the bedtime diapers, since we couldn't find any other way to get our daughter to keep the diapers on. We'd just tape it on (with a long strip that went all the way around and ended in the back, so she couldn't peel it off), and explain to her that we would cut it off when she needed to go potty. I definitely felt a bit weird about taping my kid's diaper on, but I realized that it was much, much better than having my child get sh** all over her bed, blankets, walls, loveys, etc . . .

I've heard about these types of stories many many times, so I don't think it's that uncommon. On one blog I read about quadruplets, the mom used to duct tape the diapers on her quads so they couldn't take them off, but that sounds awfully hard for doing the actual diaper changes later. Not to mention difficult if Bobby managed to make it to the toilet and then couldn't get the diaper off. So I really don't know. Good luck!!!!sunflowerchildehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15209334933886664383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809677799536184324.post-30435639639476647862013-04-15T10:37:20.350-04:002013-04-15T10:37:20.350-04:00We just got Della a one piece zip up sun suit, sho...We just got Della a one piece zip up sun suit, short sleeve, short pants, lightweight, STRETCHY and could absolutely go on backwards.... just a thought.<br />Best of luck to you-- <br /><br />I hear *so many* poop stories, I simply ache for you and will put this off for a while longer here.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12533501052787233233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809677799536184324.post-71864382923682836552013-04-15T09:43:38.199-04:002013-04-15T09:43:38.199-04:00Yes, yes, yes, I also go through many of the thing...Yes, yes, yes, I also go through many of the things you mention here.<br /><br />TT also potty trained very quickly, and uses going potty in her underwear as a tool. She's mad, upset about something, she'll do it on purpose. I thought I was alone in this?! And then there is the stripping. TT still needs a diaper at night for the most part. But here's the thing, she also strips, and I tried the backwards PJ's, and she screamed until I fixed them. She acted like I put her in a straight jacket! So, at least 5 times a week, she'll go potty in her diaper and then remove it cause she can't stand having a diaper on, and then she'll go potty all over her bedding. I am washing her bedding constantly! So frustrating. She has ruined many pillow pets and stuffed animals from all the pee!<br /><br />So, unfortunately I have no solutions, but can't wait to hear if you get any other follow up comments. We can't be alone in this, right?Leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14912857890584533572noreply@blogger.com
