[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son was a bedwetter and used pull ups until he was 10 and then like magic he outgrew it. We didn’t do any alarms or anything. At one point I would wake him around midnight to go to the bathroom when I was going to bed but that got old fast and we stopped. It wasn’t worth it. I sympathize with you. We had a wet pull up and wet bedding every night. I got disposable and washable pee pads to lay on top of the sheets which really helped - we wouldn’t have to change the sheets then, only remove the pee pad. One day he will grow out of it! Hang in there.[/quote]

OP here, thank you! Before this post I hadn’t heard about anyone else with a child with this issue beyond 5-6. I appreciate it. Great idea about the disposable pad on the bed.[/quote]

What’s his attitude towards it? Does it bother him a lot that he still has accidents?[/quote]

Honestly, no it doesn’t seem to bother him that he has a soaked diaper most mornings. I thought it might since his 5-year-old brother has been dry for a long time. But it doesn’t bother him. He’s a very deep sleeper so I’m doubtful the alarm would work for him.[/quote]

Is he good about getting up in the morning and going straight to the bathroom? Does he wake up usually on his own or do you wake him up?[/quote]

Yes he goes right away in the morning and he gets up on his own. Sometimes he will wake up too early because of the soaked diaper and he can’t get back to sleep (5 or 6) he will immediately change into underwear once he gets up.[/quote]
