[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So DS, just turned 6 this month, is a very, very sensitive kid. He's always been very concerned about not upsetting others, even if it's DH or myself.

He's only very infrequently had bedwetting accidents all his life since we did potty training when he was about 2.5.But for the past month, it's been happening increasingly often. Instead of once in a blue moon, now it seems to be 1-2 times a week (that we're aware of).

This morning I saw that he was wearing different PJs than what he went to bed wearing, and was acting strangely. I waited for him to say something, but eventually ended up getting down on his level and gently asked if "Buddy, did you maybe have an accident..?"

He was not at all thrilled to be discussing it, even though I was very clear that no one was at all upset with him, and that we love him very much no matter what.

We eventually found out he'd stuffed sopping wet, pee soaked pajamas between his headboard and the wall (!!!), and that this had been happening way more than we'd realized (the nighttime accidents, not the PJs behind the bed).

We're kind of at a loss here, does anyone have any suggestions? We've never before made a big deal of accidents when they occur, and DS hasn't had any major changes in his life recently. We're currently doing homeschooling, so school stress hasn't really been a factor.

My kid was peeing in bed at night at 5 yrs old and I would just take him to the bathroom around 11 before I went to bed and he’d pretty much just pee in the toilet in his sleep, with some prompting. ALso, no liquids for at least an hr before bed. Good luck. [/quote]
