Our DS will be 7 next week and he cannot stop wetting the bed. We ended up putting him in pull ups for bed as he can wet 2-3 times per night. I took him to the doctor who referred him to a bedwetting clinic and they have ordered an alarm for us but we are waiting for this to come in. In the meantime I have taken him out of the pull ups in an attempt to get him to go to the toilet but it is just not working.
He goes to the toilet when he goes to bed and DH or I take him to the toilet around 10:30-11pm. Then I usually wake up at some point in the night needing the toilet myself so I take him then. We have been doing this for 2 weeks and we have only had 3 dry nights. He is often wet when I take him in the middle of the night. DS is such a heavy sleeper. He doesn't even remember us waking him to take him to the toilet in the middle of the night.
I used to wet the bed myself as a child and I always remember my mother yelling at me for it so I am being very patient with him and trying to encourage him as much as possible. He tells me he can't do it and I keep telling him of course he can otherwise we wouldn't have had those 3 dry nights.
Any suggestions as the washing is killing me and it's going to get so much worse with a baby in the house!
