Mattress pad, fitted sheet, mattress pad, fitted sheet. Peel the top two off and you're set to go. Also, they sell these flannel pads at Babies R Us (http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2838923) that are similar to the ones they use in hospital beds - they are very absorbent so you could put that on top of the top sheet and just change that if they have an accident. They're pretty big pads (like 3 feet by 3 feet) and soft to the touch. I'm planning to use those when we eliminate nighttime diapers for Ella.

She discovered the sweet pleasure of lollipops! When she has a dry diaper, she gets a Dum-dum and a sticker on the calendar. If she gets three stickers in a row, she gets a special toy. So far she hasn't gotten three nights in a row and we're running low on diapers (we aren't going to buy anymore - I think..) but mostly her diapers are just barely wet. We haven't tried undies at night yet. A good tip I heard was to put two fitted sheets on the bed with the mattress pad/protector inbetween. That way when there is an accident, you just strip the bed of the top layer like an onion! We don't have two fitted sheets but I think I might just use the flat sheet as the emergency bottom layer.
