[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS is almost 9 and we are finally getting dry nights.  We started using the Therapee alarm back in late November.  With the alarm we went from it going off 2-3 times per night, to once per night, to once per night but much later like 4-5 am vs 12-1 am, to occasional dry night to more dry nights than wet nights.  I don't think it is completely over but we are getting very close.

I pushed the alarm because I'm sending him to overnight camp this summer and I want him to be able to go to sleepovers and be completely comfortable.[/quote]

We're really hoping for summer camp as well, but it's looking unlikely, because he hasn't had a dry night since before Christmas.

Do you happen to know if the alarm can still work with a pull-up/diaper..?[/quote]

What is he using now? In my experience alarms are almost always a bad idea. They are  extremely loud and more traumatic than anything else. If he’s still wearing a diaper to bed and is waking up wet more often than dry he might just need more time. He will outgrow it and the best thing to do is be understanding and don’t make a big deal about it.[/quote]
