when does bedwetting end ?

Mine was 11. We did see a urologist who said he a small bladder but nothing abnormal. He gave hm medication for sleepovers that stops the urine somehow.

It’s not the worst thing a child can have.

I wet the bed until I was a teenager. My oldest son was still wearing pull-ups and wetting the bed when he was 10. We got a bedwetting alarm, and it worked like a charm.

Curious how many still have kids over age 5 who still use a nighttime diaper. It seems like it’s more prevalent now.

I don't think it's necessarily more prevalent. It's just discussed more / out in the open more, and doesn't have quite the stigma that it did in years past. Maybe parents are bit more educated on it perhaps.

My DS is 8 (9 in March) and we started Therapee. It has been slow for us, but progress is being made. My son has gone from the alarm going off 2-3 times per night to once at most. Now the one time that it goes off is closer to the time he is due to wake up, like 6:00 am rather than at midnight. He has had dry nights but never more than two in a row.

I've consulted the Bedwetting Clinic at Children's and they had some suggestions I'm going to implement. I've signed my son up for overnight camp so I'm hoping we can get him dry before then. He is just a really deep sleeper.

Really?!
My gifted non ADHD daughter wet the bed until 8. My ADHD child was dry by 4.

I never spoke about it. I did say the age my kids were completely trained 2.5 to 3 - but I really meant trained during the day. At night it was much later

Did they continue to wear a diaper for bed until they outgrew it?

We’ve switched to goodnights overnight underwear in XS for our guy that wears a 7 in diapers. We haven’t had any leaks with those.

For my daughter, almost every single night until she was just about 12. Then "poof' she completely, 100% stopped.
