Stinky, Smelly, YUCK!

Today was a hard one.

See, B2 has an issue at bedtime that we try to not make a big deal about. It's one of those things that we know has to run it's course. But somedays...

Let me explain. B2 has an issue with staying dry at night. He is fully potty trained during the day, he just sleeps so soundly that, well, we have accidents. B2 is almost 7, we've talked to the doctor about it, and we are pretty much in a holding pattern unless we want to spend a ton of money on alarms that will wake him (and us) up to go to the restroom. My thoughts are that I don't see the need... this is the third generation that we know of with this issue. Typically grown out of by the time they are ten.



It's just there are sometimes days like today. B2 forgot to put the bedtime pullup on last night, so we woke up to his bedding wet and his mattress wet and him stinky and smelly. Let's face it folks, Febreze can only take care of so much!

The best thing we have found to get rid of the smell, especially in the summer, is to hang the bedding on the clothes line after washing. The sun kills the stench off. The same can be said for the mattress, I try to put it out side every so often as well.

So now you ask why I am sharing this with you. Simple. Does anybody have suggestions on what to do? Potty alarms can get quite expensive, and we have a tight budget. I would even love coupons for the night time pullups. (B2 is 4'6" & 68lbs)  But seriously, what has everybody else tried?
