[quote=Anonymous]Mine just graduated at 7.5. Same thing - doctor was not worried. But my kid really wanted to not have the problem anymore. Our family never explored medication, bedwetting alarms, dream pees or any of that--just wasn't for us.

About once a month, we'd try it without the goodnites to see if he could do it. I don't know if it was just the hormone shift he needed finally kicking in, or if there was a helpful feedback loop from actually feeling the wetness of the accidents. (That also motivated him to do a last pee before sleep every night.) it took about 6 months of trying again every several weeks, but eventually he was dry enough days in a row that we didn't use goodnites anymore.

he still has an accident maybe once every month or two? but typically in the  early morning so he will clean and change himself then come snuggle with me.

I coped with the transition period by getting the goodnite bed pads, so while we needed to throw sheets in the wash I never had to wash the (waterproof) mattress protector. [/quote]
