[quote=Anonymous]BEFORE she goes to sleep, she has control over her body. She can limit drinks (to a reasonable measure) and use the toilet several times, including immediately before going to sleep. It's reasonable to enforce those rules. AFTER she goes to sleep, she has no control, so don't shame her. I don't think the doctor is completely wrong: in some cases kids might get used to the pullups, and those kids will stop after a few times. But if she is repeatedly wetting the bed without them, it's just biological. The options are to use medication or wait. Typically (but not always), it stops at puberty. We did not use medicine and our son stopped when he was about 13. Until then we generally woke him and took him to the bathroom right before we went to sleep, a few hours after he did. That worked about 90 % of the time.[/quote]
