we tried the alarm and it woke us but not our child! be patient it does take YEARS in some children.

I had the same issues with my daughter right up until she was 8 and a half yrs old. Her bedwetting was such an issue, and we were going bonkers trying to solve it!!! We found a combination of things worked together, after seeing the doctor and checking everything medically was okay, he suggested we stopped all drinks by 6pm and used the nasal spray prescribed by doctor, this lessened the frequency of wet nights but still wet at least 2-3 times a week…. then we added in using the alarm, and within a week she was waking herself up and going to the toilet! It was very frustrating whenever we would travel to visit rellies, as we would need to pack pullups and she felt very sad about that, but we couldn’t risk her wetting other peoples mattresses. I look back now that we have the problem solved, finally, and I wish we had tried the alarm and nasal spray earlier. Good luck!

My son still wets the bed every night. He is a very deep sleeper and we have tried the alarm, waking him up at night, even the medication to stop urine production. He has nothing wrong with him medically and nothing seems to work. I’m happy to wait a year or so and go back to the doctor if it starts to concern him.

My niece had this problem with her youngest daughter, and it was upsetting for her daughter, and nearly drove my niece to distraction. She tried an alarm, after all medical tests failed to indicate why her daughter was wetting the bed, and now she says that she wishes she tried the alarm in the very beginning. It worked a treat, and she and her daughter are much happier now.

My middle daughter was a bedwetter also….But…I actually discussed it with her and said it was over to her if she wanted to wear underwear to bed or night nappies. She elected to wear night nappies. This made things much more comfortable for her and it saved a lot of work for me as well.
When she was ready she said she no longer wanted to wear them and she never wet the bed after that ever.
Perhaps you could try that with her….it might be a little hard at 7 to consider going back into Nappies though so its her choice and you need to tell her that you are fine with what ever she chooses.

My daughter had the bed alarm and it worked for her, she also was 7 years old. It is a bit hard having to wake sometimes several times in a night but for her to become dry made it all worthwhile. I know you can hire them but I think the doctor who set us up and who we had to be consulted a few times was very severe in his manner and I think that that was what gave us the success. Good luck.

My 8 yr old boy wets bed every night. We tried waking through night, dream wee, alarms, expensive bed wetting mats, doctors says he fine. He back in pull ups , they say they grow out of it.

I also watched a doco on bed wetting, there a drug they can take that suppresses that part if the brain from going at night

My son learnt just before his seventh birthday. I always felt he was just a deep sleeper and time would help this as he got older and wasn’t so tired all the time. I used brolly sheets with undies and over the course of a few months got the results. Good luck.

Is this something new or has this been an ongoing issue? If it’s something new your daughter might be experiencing other problems which may be causing her to wet the bed. Is she having any problems at school, has she been afraid recently, etc. If everything is okay I suggest you take your daughter to see a paediatrician. Your GP may have done the common checks, such as checking for urinary tract infections or bladder infections but there are other tests which can be done like checking for diabetes (I’m not suggesting that your daughter has this but your paediatrician may check for this if her bed wetting has just started happening). You can also limit the amount of fluids, salts and sugars she consumes in the evening. Not many people realise that excess sugar and salt consumption can cause increased urination, not just drinking fluids. My son was experiencing the same problem a couple of years ago and my paediatrician told me this. Now the kids have their dinner at 5pm and definitely no snacks like chips or chocolate/lollies or desserts past 6.30. They’re in bed by 8- 8.30pm. Just before bed I ask him to sit on the toilet for at least 10 minutes. I give him a book to read so he spends his time on there and doesn’t get bored or restless. Hope this helps and it gets resolved soon. I’m sure you do this but just in case, make sure you use waterproof mattress protectors and make the bed with at least 3 layers of sheets and mattress protectors to minimise disturbances during the night. Have at least 3 sets of pjs handy to change her wet clothes quickly so you can both go back to bed. Also, you can use waterproof doona protectors. Good luck 🙂

We went through this. well still are to be truthful. My son has this problem. We would even get him up at 10pm to wee. Also tried the alarm and medical checks. Which are all the normal steps. The next step which we did is he uses a nasal spray even night before bed. It can be used for long periods of time and doesn’t cause problems with the body. The spray simply tells the kidneys not to draw liquid over night, which leaves the bladder to not fill up. He still gets up in the morning and does a wee. But since using the spray he has not had any accidents. He did stop for a week to check that he still needs it and then went back to using it. Good luck, it’s so hard for them feeling like they should be in control. It’s actually a part of the brain that needs to mature, nothing they are or aren’t doing.

I have a 13yo who still very occasionally wets the bed, but was a 2-3 times a night wetter, I have found out she is what they call a ‘stage 4 sleeper’ this means she goes into a very deep sleep and does not wake for the feeling of a full bladder. By a process of elimination we have found that any type and any time, if she has soft drink she will wet the bed, also if she has too much chocolate, more often than once a week, she will wet the bed. These 2 things eliminated from her diet has pretty much stopped the bed wetting. I have been told that chocolate and soft drink are a very common cause of bed wetting, she also only gets to have water after 6pm. good luck and i hope this helps.

My 8yr son also sometimes wet the bed once or twice a week but I now don’t give him drinks after 8pm and wake him about 10.30pm to go to toilet and it’s working slowly so I’m having great progress.

maybe speak to a physiologist if physically it all checks out

Have you tried dream weeing?. It’s where is she goes to bed at 8pm, the. Just before you go to bed at 10pm take her to the toilet, then try and wake up in the middle of the night and take her again, she will be still asleep, but it might work.
