[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don’t listen to these people.  Webmd says 85 percent of kids that age will be night trained by age 5 or 6.  There may be a medical issue just get it checked out.   And finally, I can’t believe people suggesting to put kids this age in diapers! Just let them wet the bed a few times and they will learn. How is the body going to learn when you have a 7 year old in a diaper? [/quote]

Letting a kid wet the bed to solve something that is out of their control seems borderline cruel. If the OP's kid is peeing himself as often as she claims he is in the night--then he likely just doesn't have the bladder control to hold it while they're asleep. We dealt with the same thing with our oldest DD.

You wouldn't believe how badly she wanted to be dry at night (which eventually, a month after her 7th bday, she was). But before then, it was just something her body had to grow into.

It's been a long time since my kids have been in diapers. But, my guess is that the pps that suggested having the OP's kid wear a diaper were only suggesting that because diapers would supposedly do a better job at handling small, frequent voids over the course of an entire night.

Regardless, hugs to you OP. Hope you all work out something that works. [/quote]
