Thanks yall! Its just I was gonna buy a mattress that wasnt water resistant so thats why i wamted the pad but my awesome mother bought me a water resistant matters so I wanted to make sure I dont need a pad anymore :)
I didnt get it and our mattress is fine and waterproof
I think you'll be fine with just the water resistant mattress. I bought the same mattress for my first born and a year and 4 months later it still looks brand new!
I don't have one on my son's mattress because his is water proof and if he pees in the bed it wipes right up
I'm not sure if you really need it, but I got a really good brand mattress that was water resistant but still got a protector just incase. Atleast the mattress will be in better condition for alot longer
