Quote From: tray00My son will be 9 in October. He wets the bed everynight. Occassionally when he sleeps over at friends houses, he does not wet the bed.
I have tried stopping drinks after 6pm. Getting him to go pee before he goes to bed. I have also woke him up to go pee when I go to bed (around 11pm) He has either allready peed or still wakes up wet. I have even gone as far as the medication prescribed by doctors. That didn't work either.
Every night he wears pullups to bed. (I have to buy the Good nights as the sizing is bigger, and they are more expensive) This morning he went right through his pull up and we are washing his sheets.
I am so tired of washing clothes and smelling pee in his room. I do not scold him for this, but I have started making him do his own wash and making up his bed when it is all clean.
My 5 yr old thinks that he needs to wear pull ups as well. I tell him he doesn't need to but he says his brother does so he wants to. ANd occassionally he will wet the bed as well.
I occasionally wet the bed when I was young, (as an older child, amybe up til I was 11) But not every night. This is driving me crazy! Sometimes we don't have any pull ups, as I refuse to by them at $20 a bag, (you know 2 days before pay day). I will not buy one of those electrice shockers, that shocks them when they pee in thier sleep........
Basically I don't think any one can help us, he will just have to grow out of it, but I needed to vent....Thanks for listening!
My son ended up at a urologist to find his urethra was not big enough...they did surgery. It still did not help. They tried him on DDVAP twice, but it still does not work. We just live with it right now. I still try to watch his drinking past 6 pm. We even bought the alarm...all it did was keep us awake. Hope you get some relief. If you find something, let me know too please.
