we used to do star chats, but then we realised we were just highlighting the wet nights as we werent getting dry ones, then joshua started hoding wet PJs and we had a huge stink problem. so we stripped his room out, new mattress, carpets deep cleaned, new bedding etc etc turned his room to ben 10, ditched the star charts and decided if he wets, all he has to do is bring his wet bedding down and mummy will put on the fresh ones, No fuss is made nothing, on a dry night we make a huge fuss. The hospital recommended he drink a lot more to retrain the bladder to hold more, plus double voiding on the toilet (go twice each time) to make sure he empties,. We started a tick chart to make sure he drinks enough. but mostly we just plod along. Its really common in boys, and joshua comes from a long line of bed wetters and its hereidtory so i recon in the next 2-4 years we'll see a marked improvement. No he is embarrassed because we dont make a fuss and he knows how common it is, also the doctors have been explaining to him how his body works and why his is needed extra help.
Glad it's not a problem if Aaron wets the bed I was going to do what you do and not make a fuss, just change the bedding but maybe have a little chat that it's not a bad thing and he will get better in time
