[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FWIW, OP, in case you have tried all the very sound and well-meaning advice folks are offering here, I want to be a voice to say we tried it all - limiting fluids before bed, peeing TWICE before going to sleep, etc. etc. and none of it really worked until one day he just...stopped having nighttime incontinence. There is a small percentage of kids (more boys than girls) for whom it just takes what seems like a VERY long time. Our ped encouraged us early on to take a really nonchalant, non-judgmental approach to the whole thing, which we did. Your brain has to emit enough of a particular hormone for your body to be able to stay dry through the night, and in some kids it takes longer for the level of that hormone to get high enough. It always gets there. The beauty of this is - it's true!  [/quote]

So how did you manage it until then? [/quote]

He wore nighttime incontinence underwear, mostly disposable, but sometimes the Tony and Ava's stuff (sleepovers etc.). We bought the goodnites at Target when buying toilet paper and toothpaste. We never made a big deal about it and then one day he said "I haven't been wet in a long time. I'm not going to wear that tonight" and that was it! No shame, no embarrassment. [/quote]

Did you ever check on him during the night? I’ve tried waking DS up before but it really didn’t make a difference.[/quote]
