[quote=Anonymous]There is a difference between being awake and deciding to pee in a pullup and a child who wets their pullup while sound asleep.  This is the case of the majority of children - you know this because if you put them to bed without pullups on, they wet the bed in the middle of the night.  many children and adults are woken up in the middle of the bed - the children are wet and call to get help changing sheets.

It's a waiting game for most children - and for the poster who said she wet the bed until 9 or whatever, probably your children will wet the bed until later, too.

And for the 9 year old who was night trained and reverted - that could be anxiety, and there is certainly lots of upheaval, anxiety and whatever with covid.  I mean, kids were sent home on a Friday from childcare/preschool/school and they have never returned - how weird is that?!?

My nephew potty trained by 3 years old, all good, but wet the bed consistently (and wore goodnights) until about 6 years old.  Then he wore underpants BUT when he was stressed for whatever reason (the 2 weeks before each new school year, fight with a friend, excited about birthday/christmas, worried about school) he'd wet the bed a few nights, then be fine for months, then go back to wetting the bed a few times.....  he has ADHD and generalized anxiety so that wasn't surprising - he finally stopped wetting the bed EVER at 11?  10?  12 ? I don't remember. [/quote]
