1) Put a plastic cover over the mattress, under the mattress pad, to
protect it.
2) Put a thick towel under the part of the bed where the child sleeps, below
the sheet.
3) No liquids after 7 pm at night.
4) Take child to toilet right before bedtime.
5) Don't worry about it.
As for the getting up waking the toddler, that's not something I've ever had
to deal with.
