DS still bedwetting at nearly 11

[Anonymous]

same here. My dd wets her bed every other month or so and sometimes it is consecutive days. we have waterproof mattress covers. my dd soaks the bed quite a bit and including the comforter so we need to have a few sets that she can wash and swap out.

She is also an anxious child so maybe that adds to it. we just let her change her sheets and stuff discretely so that our other ds doesn't laugh at her. And we just move on...

Get her a bedwetting alarm. A good one is the chummie bedwetting alarm. I purchased it for my 8 year old son and then 6 year old daughter. Worked great.
Good luck!

Any other stress, OP?

My husband's godson is 13 and he still wets the bed if he is not woken up once at night. He is a popular, well adjusted kid, so it is just the fact that he is a deep sleeper. He is mortified by it, but I think if you get your son an alarm, he'll be fine most nights. Good Luck!

Get your children a bedwetting alarm. There are many alarms to chose from. I did my homework and decided to purchase the Chummie bedwetting alarm. No particular reason, just that my children wanted it.
It worked wonders for my 8-year old son and 6-year old daughter. I got mine at www.chummie.com
Good luck to you all.

DS is 7- after reading some of these posts we ordered the chummie alarm on amazon. Tonight it has been a week. I have only had one- yes, one extra load of bedding to wash this week! I don't want to jinx my good fortune, but am sharing my happy experience thus far- good luck with this!!

Definitely ask your doctor about the constipation. My doctor also mentioned that for our DS. He is 10.5 and has just stopped the night-time wetting (fingers crossed - it's been about a month and a half). He was a really deep sleeper and just wouldn't wake up. I can believe constipation had something to do with it too, but DS wouldn't take the miralax to help soften his stools (he is extremely picky, which is why he has constipation). It seems rather that he just finally outgrew it. He now wakes up and uses the bathroom in the middle of the night almost every night.

Good luck.

Amazon sells a really good waterproof mattress pad. I had 2 pads so I could easily put a new one on with a new set of sheets when the others were being washed. We also had a small mattress on the floor so DS could just move in the middle of the night if he woke up wet. He would just tell me in the morning that I needed to change his sheets. I really tried to not make a big deal. Sometime it was hard to keep up with laundry, but it does stop around puberty. I bought the alarm, but never used it.

I know someone who was still bed wetting at that age as well. For him it was because the mechanism that tells his brain to wake up when his bladder was full didn't work properly. The parents worked it out by routinely waking him up to use the bathroom for a while, until his brain got used to waking up from deep sleep to pee - he was fine ever since. Maybe worth a try

My daughter's friend slept over this weekend and she wet my daughters bed! Worse part was she didn't apologize nor tell anyone about it. My daughter is disgusted that her bed has now been soiled. (And there is a stain now) and it is unfortunate that we have no mattress protector as she has passed that stage. I am wondering if I should get involved and call her parents or let the kids deal with it themselves. My daughter is still a little upset to speak to her friend.

I'm sure your daughter's friend is mortified and just didn't know what to do. How old is she?

12. We think so too. But we thought at least friend to friend, she could have at least said something to my daughter. But yes, we know it's awkward and she must feel terrible too.

I still think after a couple of days, your daughters friend should at least apologise to your daughter. But parents should stay out.
