sorry but they 'refuse' to wear pull-ups?
if they are wetting the bed, they need to wear pull-ups.
give me a break.
Here is what we've done: if it is an occasional accident, or a sometimes light accident then i have used a bath towel folded in half, that has protected the sheets while my 6 year old was set on not wetting at night. He made sure he peed right before bed and didnt drink too much after dinner. he has done very very well, once *he* decided he could do it/was ready to do it. i did not ever *make* him, i did suggest he 'try' and see every once in a while and those were the nights we used the folded up towel. then if he did wet, he would wake up and we'd just change the towel.
Ultimately, if they are not ready and they are too old/big for diapers insist on either a pull-up or rubber pants. you have enough other things to do then wash bed linnens every day simply cause they are not yet ready to potty train at night.
