Bed wetting alarm

My DD is 7 and is still in pull ups (please don’t flame) We limit fluids, go to the bathroom before bed and have tried waking her up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. Sometimes she’s already wet by the time we wake her (usually 10:30-11 pm) and other times she doesn’t go pee. She is reliably dry during the day. Our doctor suggested a bed wetting alarm. Has anyone used one with any success and which brand did you buy?
Thanks for any help. |

| Wet-stop. Follow the directions, it works. |

| My boys are older than your daughter. We tried an alarm over the summer. It would eventually wake them up but not until they soaked themselves. After a couple of weeks dealing with cranky boys. Washing their bedding and late night changes I put them back in Goodnites. I rather sleep than deal with bedwetting. |

You can't just expect not to have to wake up and let the alarm to all the work. When you hear it ring jump out of bed and wake your kid to bring them to the bathroom. Do this a few nights in a row and it will kick in. |

I didn’t have success with a bed wetting alarm.
For my kids, they naturally started waking up dry by age 8, but at 7 they were still in pull ups. Worth a try but don’t stress if the alarm doesn’t work for you! |

We had success with the Malem.
https://bedwettingstore.com/collections/alarms/products/malem-ultimate-bedwetting-alarm The key for it to work is consistency. Once you hear it go, you have to get to your child and walk them to the bathroom. Even if they’ve already soaked their underwear, pull them out of bed and walk them. It’s hard and will make you feel like you have a newborn again. We set up the baby monitor again so we heard the alarm. You have to help your kid make the connection between peeing and getting up. We also bought a lot of the lined bed pads. Put them on top of the fitted sheet. Then all you need to change is the pad. Kid can go right back bed with having to change the sheets. |

| Did not work for us but son eventually outgrew (when much older). We did teach him to wash his own sheets at a young age. |

| Another vote for wet stop. Worked for 8yo DD, also extra fiber bc she was constipated and following instructions about daytime habits. And yes sleep near them for the first week or so to get them really up and to the bathroom even if they peed already. After a week there was less wetness with the alarm abs after 2 weeks we were done. Pro tip - chux/pad, make the bed, waterproof pad/chux, then another layer. Less stress at 2 am. I also put the alarm on her underwear and put a pull up over that. This way she still felt the wetness but it didn’t make a disasterous mess |

This worked for us too. I was surprised how fast and easy it was since my daughter was soaking through pull-ups every night and we figured she was just too deep of a sleeper to wake up and go to the bathroom.

| We had good luck with a cheaper one than Therapee-I'd try a cheaper one first! We just got the DryEasy Bedwetting alarm on Amazon. It's 40 bucks and worked well and she got the hang of it within the first week. I recommend having her wear underwear, clip the alarm to the underwear, then put a pull up on over all of it-that way you don't have to wash sheets. |
