Protect-A-Bed Against Nighttime Accidents Published on Monday, February 16, 2009 by

This giveaway is now closed. Thanks for joining the potty party.  The winner is Amy.  Congratulations!

We’re back again with our final week of potty training advice! I hope you’ve found the information useful! I was talking to my friend Kristin awhile back about her experience with potty training. She has three girls under the age of four so I figure if anyone knows anything about potty training, it’s her. We were discussing night-time potty training and I was surprised to find out that her girls were potty trained during the day for many months before they had a dry night. According to the Sears’ docs, it may take weeks, months, or even years for a child to achieve success with nighttime potty training. The typical progression includes nighttime bowel control, daytime bowel control, daytime bladder control, and lastly nighttime bladder control. While this is a subject that I’ll leave to be discussed at a later time, I will tell you that there is a product you may just want to consider checking out if you’re struggling with nighttime accidents.

Many of you have no doubt heard about Protect-A-Bed’s line of mattress protectors, encasements, and pads. They provide a very thin, impermeable layer of protection between you and your mattress. You’re probably wondering why you need protection from your mattress…or maybe you’re wondering why your mattress needs protection from you. And maybe you’re wondering what all of this has to do with potty training…

Nighttime accidents are inevitable, unless you’ve decided that your child will wear diapers until he goes to kindergarten. In order to save yourself some time changing your child’s sheets in the middle of the night, and getting your child’s crib or toddler bed mattress cleaned (again and again), you might want to invest in a mattress protector from Protect-A-Bed. The company’s mattress protectors go beyond your typical mattress pad. They’re made of a very soft, terry cloth toweling which provides a state-of-the-art layer of protection from allergens, dust mites and bed bugs within your mattress. The mattress protectors waterproof and stainproof your mattress (something I wish I had done long before my son was born) and they’re highly absorbent. I love the company’s suggestion to put two on your child’s mattress so that if one becomes soiled, you don’t have to disrupt him/her too much changing the entire bed.

We received a crib mattress protector to try out and one of the things that stood out was how much thinner it is than I had originally expected. With the type of protection offered, I assumed it would be very thick. The crib mattress protector was designed using the latest technology to assure that the fabric is breathable. It will stay cool in the summer and warm in the winter (now that’s innovation!). The mattress protectors are super easy to clean…just throw them in the wash and tumble dry! I want my son to sleep in the most optimal environment, dry and free from allergens. I like how Protect-A-Bed offers both in one product.

Protect-A-Bed mattress protectors come in a variety of sizes to fit any bed – from cribs to California King mattresses. The company sells two variations of the crib mattress protector (which will likely fit a toddler bed mattress): the AllerZip Crib Protector and the Healthsheet Crib Protector and both are available for purchase on the site. For healthy, hygenic sleep, visit Protect-A-Bed.

Win It! One of you will win a Crib Mattress Protector, courtesy of Protect-A-Bed. Simply head on over to the site, then come back and leave me a comment with something you learned.
