[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of my kids were pull up till six and then was dry every night. My second child was not right at six and one to try the potty alarm. It took three years for her to be completely dry at night even with the potty alarm. I went to bed till I was 10, my both my siblings with the bed until at least nine.  One of my kids wore a pull up until six and then was dry.  My second child was not dry at six and wanted to try the potty alarm. It took three years for her to be completely dry at night even with the potty alarm (we went through the regimen three different times.). I wet the bed until I was 10, both my siblings with the bed until at least nine. The pediatrician said that he doesn’t worry about this type of thing until around age 8. A five-year-old who is a deep sleeper and still using a pull up is not an anomaly. Just wait it out, she will outgrow it.[/quote]

You subjected your child to a bed wetting alarm for THREE years?  That's akin to torture.[/quote]

This is the PP of the kid with the bedwetting alarm. No I did not subject her to the alarm for THREE years straight.  We tried it for the first 12 week as the program said, and she was dry until we took a vacation which was only a couple of weeks after going through the entire regimen.  Then when we got back she asked to do it again. We didn’t do it the whole 12 weeks.  We did it for about a week and I couldn’t take it anymore. We let it go probably for another six months and she asked for the bedwetting alarm again. Again we did it for maybe a week and stopped because it was waking the entire house up. So it went on and off like this for the next few years. For this kid we should have just waited it out and never use the alarm past the first 12 weeks following the alarm instructions.  It was my child who wanted badly to stop wetting the bed and asking to go back to the alarm.[/quote]
