Hi.If you are able to tolerate the risk of an accident and have an hour or two another option is to take the nappy off and offer loads of drinks-hang around with a container and hope to strike lucky Karen.

Does DS seen to empty his bladder after waking up? With my DD (4.5yrs and in nappies) I stick a container in the toilet bowl then stick her on the toilet when she wakes up in the morning. Usually we get a good wee then!

 

Good luck

You can get a kit from your GP/chemist - basically we had to put a nappy on back to front, with a sterile pad (looks like a sanitary towel!) and wait for him to wee - then once he did you use a syringe to soak the wee out of the pad and into the sample bottle.

I got from child development unit the cardboard urinals for ladies you use in hospital. I just put it under the toliet seat before she uses it. Its the only thing that worked for us the sticky things just upset her.
