Title: Bedwetting Tips: What about Traveling?
Author: Susan Lewis
Article:
You've been around the block a few times with this whole
enuresis thing if your child has been at it for a few years.
You've got the drill down cold - taking care of the laundry,
protecting your child's skin, protecting your mattress, steering
this sleepy child to the bathroom for one last pee. That is,
you've got the drill down cold... at home. What about if you had
to take this show on the road? The very thought might strike
fear in your heart. You might be tempted to stay home until your
child either outgrows this challenge - or leaves home and can
take care of it without you.
<b>You could do that, but your family would really miss out on
some incredible memories - some time together that's impossible
to replace if you let it slip past you.</b>
With a few handy tips, you can take the show on the road - and
not leave a path of pee destruction in your wake. It just takes
some advanced planning, some advice from someone who's traveled
that road before you. Fasten your seatbelts, and let's go!
**<b>Plan ahead! </b>If you're staying at a hotel, reserve a
roll-away bed for your room. Many hotels provide a roll-away for
free - some charge a nominal fee. You won't have to worry about
ruining a full-sized or (gasp!) king-sized mattress. You'll also
enjoy a more peaceful vacation, because the kids won't spend the
whole time fighting about who's got to share a bed with the one
who wets. Of course, they'll find tons of other things to fight
about... but at least not this issue.
**<b>Make a quick stop before you settle in - or even better,
shop before you leave home. </b>Pick up a good plastic mattress
cover and remake the bed before you even unpack. Your roll-away
bed is probably a twin size, or a little smaller - so a twin
mattress cover will do nicely. You can probably pick one up for
$5 or less, but you'll get a hundred times that much back in
peace of mind. You'll know that even if your child floods the
bed, the mattress will be protected - and you won't end up
paying for damage. Same thing if you're visiting relatives. The
last thing you'd want to do is damage their mattress. This
little piece of plastic will put everyone's mind at ease.
**<b>If your child will be sleeping in a sleeping bag</b>, you
may have some luck with a waterproof sleeping bag liner. You can
get a set of four for less than $20 that are made of mylar (like
the balloon). Slip one into a sleeping bag, and even if your
child has an accident, the sleeping bag and everything around it
will stay dry. Just wash the liner and lay it out to dry the
next morning.
**<b>Don't forget your first line of defense</b> - protective
underwear (GoodNites or some other brand of pull-ups). Nobody
even has to know your child is wearing pull-ups. Just have him
or her wear boxers or shorts on top of them, and maybe some
sweatpants if it's cold. This allows for protection and dignity
all wrapped up in one clever tip.
**<b>Even if you don't usually do this at home</b>, during a
trip away from home, be sure to have your child visit the
bathroom several times before bedtime. Paired with the benefit
of sleeping in a strange place (which somehow magically seems to
help kids stay dry - does this mean we should just move every
other night or so?!), you may get really lucky. They may fight
and fuss, but it's a sure bet you'll hear tinkling and flushing
- in spite of all the protests of, "I just went!"
Will these tips make your trip around the world or just to
Grandma's a piece of cake? Probably not - half the thrill of
travel is all the unexpected things that happen, after all.
Traveling with kids is always an adventure. But it's worth it.
You'll be amazed at how your family will talk about these treks
long after you get back home. You may find that some of your
happiest memories as a family were about your time on the road.
Come on! Be brave. Be prepared. And have a wonderful trip. Send
a postcard!
