How do I stop my 7 year old wetting the bed?

You are scarring your kid mentally with these decisions you’re making.
My DD wet the bed until she was 8. We tried the alarm but it came off her undies and went off and woke the whole house up. We also tried limiting liquids, midnight pee etc.
she was and still is a deep sleeper. Nothing worked except time.
We didn't shame her, or make her feel bad, or like she wasn’t trying.
They can’t control their bladder when they’re in a deep sleep.
Buy larger pull-ups, apologize to your kid, and take a step back.

Thank you for sharing. There's a lot more than I expected telling me to go back and leave it for now. Did you keep using the pull ups and then she became dry ?

Alarm is fine but every other thing you’ve posted so far is not. Are you a troll? Or did you literally Google “What to do with a bed wetting child” and decide to do the exact opposite?

Take the PP’s advice and build a good nighttime and middle-of-night routine that should help set your child up for success. But beyond that, don’t blame or demean your child.

Agree completely. No one ever went to college still in pull ups. Your daughter will outgrow this. If you are concerned, talk to your pediatrician.

My daughter wet the bed until she was 8. My son wet the bed until 9.5. Both had sleep apnea and both stopped wetting the bed after tonsils and adenoids were removed.

Your doctor is an idiot. If a kid keeps wetting the bed day and day, they can’t control it.

But they’re not for babies. Her bladder is growing and she may continue to wet the bed off and on through growth spurts. Better to set aside $ for the therapy she’ll want from your shaming.

OP, here's what you do. Tell her that you spoke to a special doctor who is an expert on kids bodies, and she told you that every kid's body has to figure out how not to pee at night, and some bodies take longer than others. So, you were wrong when you said only babies wear pull-ups! Actually, big kids whose bodies are still figuring out how not to pee at night DO wear pull-ups. Then put the pull-ups back in her room and invite her to put them on at night, so that she doesn't wet the bed while her body is practicing.

Then, you can tell her that you've also learned about a special alarm that sometimes works to help kids' bodies figure out how not to pee. Ask her if she wants to try it. Use it with the pull-up. Give it 2 weeks. If it doesn't work, tell her that her body just needs more time to practice, and you will try the alarm again in a few months.

If you thought she was just using the pull-up because she was lazy, you've figured out now that you were wrong--she's wetting the bed while she sleeps. She can't help it. Tell her you were wrong. Help her feel better about this. It's not her fault.

NP. Yes. My kid was 8 when we tried the alarm. It took over a week, but eventually it worked.

My father wet the bed until he was a teenager. My grandfather used to beat him for it, which seems like it would have been strong motivation to learn to stay dry. Guess what? Beatings don't work either. (Also, bedwetting runs in families; my brother was a bedwetter, too.)

It's hereditary in our family too, on my husband's side. Both ny boys wet every night. Get her the diapers and stop shaming her.

What other things can we do to train her. I have made sure she puts her bedding in the wash in the morning to know that there are consequences to her wetting herself at night but nothing has worked yet. I don't want to keep doing daily laundry, what was the things that worked for you to train you child to be dry at night?
