Date Posted 14/11/2009	My son is 61/2 and is not dry at night My son is now 61/2 and has never been dry at night. We have tried lifting him, reducing his fluid intake, increasing his fluid intake, and nothing seems to work. He wear a drynite everynight and most nights he has wet them through too. He has become very self aware and gets very upset and feels like a baby, however he still lays there in the morning in a wet bed! We have always remained very level headed and tell him not to worry and that one day he will just grow out of it. Can anyone give me a top tip and light and the end of the tunnel?

Date Posted 02/11/2009	I feel there is no more I can do! My son is 8 yrs old and has never been dry at night, he was dry during the day from 2 and a half.I have tried lots of methods and I am receiving help from the school nurse who has been coming out to visit me. I have monitored fluid intake and measured pee,I have lifted last thing at night but it didn’t seem to make a difference, he takes desmopressins which haven’t made any difference. The Doctor said his urine sample was fine and just to go back each month so he can prescribe the melts. What now?? My 10 yr old daughter was 4 and a half before dry at night and my youngest child who is 4 and a half is also still wet at night so I feel like tearing my hair out at the moment(it also costs a fortune in pullups) Sarah Tags: daughter, day, dry, fluid, intake, nurse, school, son View the Page
Date Posted 29/10/2009	urgent Hi my daughter is 7yrs old and during the day is unaware that she needs the toilet until she is desperate and if out we have to drop everything and run to the nearest toilet(we have had a few accidents). At night we make sure she does the toilet before going to bed and control her fluid intake in the last hour before bedtime. We still have accidents at night about twice a week. When asked if she knows when she needs the toilet she says no. She has had her kidneys and bladder scanned and these came back normal.

Date Posted 20/10/2009	10 year old still wetting Hi my son is 10, 11 in April, he has never been dry at night but hasnt had a wetting problem dring the day just a urgency and frequency problem, which in itself is much better now than it was, although the night bed wetting is awful. We never have had any period of time where he has been dry for over 2 weeks. we are under a doctor for his bedwetting and have tried alarms, star charts watching the intake and output of fluids, he has desmomelt tablets which for the majority of the time they do work but he can still be wet 3 times or more a week when taking these, he is on a dose of 2 and has been on these for a few years now, i was under the impression they are not supposed to be on them for a long period of time, what im really wanting to know is what else is there left to try? any advice please im at my wits end Tags: day, dry, fluid, intake, majority, son View the Page
Date Posted 01/10/2009	bed wetting 5yr old My daughter is 5 years old and has had 3 dry nights in those 5 years. I have tried all the standard techniques, limmiting fluid intake, taking to the toilet during the night, easy access to the toilet etc but she is a very heavy sleeper and every morning her pyjama pants are very full, the school nurse has said there is little that the health service can do until she is at least 7 yrs old. Please help! Tags: daughter, dry, fluid, intake, morning, Nights, nurse, school View the Page
Date Posted 06/09/2009	An End in Sight Be realistic: if your child is under 5 years old, and otherwise healthy, then bedwetting isn’t unusual; it may take time, however, for your child to be dry through the night: don’t expect results overnight. Improve access to the toilet: if your child sleeps in a bunk bed, make sure they sleep in the bottom one – or leave a light on at night so they can find their way to the toilet. Keep a diary: write down what they eat and drink each day for 2-4 weeks, as well as their mood and any bedwetting incidents. Are there any patterns? Is there anything your child eats or drinks on the nights they wet the bed? Does your child wet the bed when they are upset? If you can identify any bedwetting triggers, you can reduce them. Explain how a bladder works: tell your child it’s like a balloon filling up with wee. During the day, they can tighten the muscle at the bottom to stop the wee coming out. At night, their brain is fast asleep, and sometimes the muscle can’t hold it any longer: so they wet the bed. It’s not their fault – and you can help them strengthen their bladder muscle. Wee 1, 2, 3: many children go to bed with a half full bladder. Encourage them to wee 1, 2, 3 times to push the last drops of wee out. Reduce fluid intake before bed: never, though, restrict drinks during the day. If your child is thirst at night, let them have a sip or two of water. Don’t give them drinks with caffeine (like many fizzy drinks), tea or hot chocolate. Make sure your child isn’t constipated: one in four children who wet the bed also have constipation. Give yourself peace of mind: use waterproof covers for the mattress and duvet, and absorbent, quilted sheets. Using Pyjama pants – like DryNites – can make your child more comfortable during the night. They can be used in conjunction with other techniques. Use them when wetting the bed would be a major problem – if you child is on holiday, having a sleepover or if you and/or your child are exhausted and need a break.
