Re: 13 yo boy bedwetting and 10 yo girl starting! Help!

there are some things you can do...see your gp he may advise a case worker for any other problems the child may have that have not been identified or medication to stop the child wetting the bed..or a bell...a bell works just as the child is wettingthe bed but it rings(or makes a buzzing sound) and this wakes the child up...and never blame the child for wetting the bed..infact involve him in washing the beding..hope some of this helps

Often children will commence bed wetting e.g when starting a new school, when being bullied, or when worrried about something e.g having nightmares. It is important to rule out these things. Nocturnal enuresis or bedwetting is very common in children and your g.p can refer you to an enuresis clinic where they may prescribe nasel sprays or give you a buzzer to be used at night which detects when the child is urinating! Remember that the majority of children will grow out of this!

you've tried alarms so I sugjest sticking with the drynites. They worked for my kids who had the same problem.
