Toddler pulling penis out of nappy 🤦‍♀️

My son plays with his penis none bloody stop! But sometimes falls asleep with it out so wets the bed. I’ve started going and putting it back in before I go to bed but I have this horrible vision of in the future him talking to a therapist or someone and saying ‘I remember waking up most nights and my Mum had her hand down my pants’ 😂 would you have the same fear or just keep on doing it for the sake of the bed sheets!

Also, if he wets the bed he usually realises in the night and gets me up to change him

We went through this too, he did stop after a while, but I’d keep doing it if he’s sleeping lol

Lmao I remember this phase. Their penis has to point down or they wee out their nappy. I don't think you're scarring him. But. You can't do that forever. I never did it for him, I taught him "penis points down" and just reiterated that any time I saw him with his hands down his nappy. And he learnt it and stopped peeing out his nappy.

@Ella oh yeah he knows it has to point down and will always put it back in during the day but he des it in his sleep or he’ll be playing with it in bed and then fall asleep. Obviously I won’t be doing it forever as he won’t be in a nappy forever

How old is he? Is he in a nappy in the day or just at night? Is potty training an option, if he’s recognising he’s wet the bed and asking you to change him etc might it work to pop a potty in his room for overnight? My son ditched his nappies overnight of his own accord, we were doubtful at first as he hadn’t been reliably dry at night but we said we’d give it a shot. We had a handful of wet beds in the beginning but he picked it up really quickly. Obviously if yours is still in nappies in the day you’d have to also tackle that aspect but it could be your answer. But I dunno how old he is or if this might be an option… just throwing it out there haha!
