[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP I think you're getting good advice here.  My son is now 14 but was wet nightly until 11-12.  We saw Dr. Kalloo at Children's who suggested dietary changes (constipation is often the culprit, and even if they poop every day they can be constipated).  It's exhausting and lots of laundry, but he WILL outgrow it.  The very best thing you can do is just ensure he's not embarrassed.  We used to "double make" the bed with 2 sets of waterproof mattress covers/fitted sheets, so when he leaked (which was most nights) we just took the wet layer off and he could go back to sleep quickly.  The alarm didn't work - he slept through it so it was too late.  Stay patient and hang in there.  This too shall pass.[/quote]

This was us too.  In addition to double making the bed, we put disposable pads on the bed, if DS soaked through he could peel off the pad and go back to sleep.  Was DH a bedwetter?  it is often hereditary,  The laundry is frustrating and DC turned down a lot of sleepovers but it did eventually stop about age 11.  [/quote]
