[quote=Anonymous]My son is 11, nearly 12. Potty trained before he was 3 and I honestly can’t ever remember him having an accident at night since before he started school.

Until this year, when completely out of the blue he wet the bed a few months ago, and since the n has had a handful of accidents - probably every month or so, although with no discernible pattern.

He was really upset by it the first time, understandably, but we’ve never made a big deal over it and reassured him that it’s not his fault, and he’s much calmer now when it does happen, sorting himself out and just letting us know.

I’d be more worried if it was an every night or more regular thing, but being so sporadic not really sure whether it warrants a visit to the paediatrician to be checked out or just a “later than usual” bedwetting phase which we thought we’d been lucky to avoid.

He told me earlier that he’d had another accident last night, and he’s got a bit upset again worrying about it happening at a sleepover or on a school trip, which I completely understand - he’d be mortified!

Just looking to see whether anybody else has experienced this happening seemingly randomly at a later age, and if you’ve any pointers to help get to the bottom of it and help reassure him?

Thanks! [/quote]
