[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What have you tried, OP? Maybe people will stop being rude if you explain what you have tried so far (e.g. bed wetting alarm, commando for one week, etc.)?[/quote]

Sorry, wasn't in the best mental state as I just finished literally wringing pee out of sheets and PJ's prior to making this thread.

Regarding what we've tried so far. I'd like to think we've tried just about everything, except for medication (which I'm not willing to do, at this point). We've tried:

1.) Limiting/eliminating drinks before bedtime

2.) Multiple bathroom trips before laying down

3.) Waking him in the night to go pee (disaster, never again).

4.) Two different bedwetting alarms (also a disaster, woke up everyone in the house, save for DS)

At this point, I'm honestly just desperate to find some kind of a night pull-up/diaper option that won't leak, and will let us all get a full nights sleep for once, without me having to deal with pee sheets every other morning. [/quote]

OP, I'm the previous poster whose kid took 2 weeks for the alarm to work. My kid also slept through the alarm--I had to go wake him up every time, get him up, and change him into dry things. The alarm actually never woke him, only the rest of us. But somehow the action of getting up and changing whenever he got wet did something. After about a week, we starting having nights when the alarm didn't go off. So it might work for your kid, too, but you have to give it some time.

I'll repeat: the alarm, which was attached to his shirt and loud enough to wake the dead and also vibrated so hard the bed shook, never woke my son. I had to go in and shake him/ shout and physically lift him up to get him up. [/quote]

Really sounds like my boy we can/have done a full cleaning of the house, including running the vacuum and had DS not so much as stir while he's asleep.

I'd be willing to give the alarms another try. Last attempt we tried for about 4 weeks, before giving up.

Have you tried the alarms WITH a diaper? A PP mentioned this working, and it sounds like something I think we could get on board with.[/quote]

My daughter is the same. Alarms (even vibrating ones) do not wake her. We restrict food and drink after dinner. She pees before bed. I guess I'm a crappy mom because I gave up waking her in the middle of the night after about 6 months because I just couldn't stand not having a full night's sleep anymore, so there's that. [/quote]
