Older child still wets the bed Post Reply

There's an excellent charity called ERIC www.eric.org.uk.  My daughter has found their helpline really helpful with her son's bedwetting problems.  You can talk to a specialist nurse on it.

My daughter is younger (6.5) but she’d had x1 dry night a month if that! She was starting to get embarrassed and her friends were talking about sleepovers and she didn’t feel she’d ever be able to go.

We got a hypnosis CD by Lynda Hudson called ‘I’m Dry at Night’. My gut was she could hold on (she was still dry at 3.45am when we got up for an early flight last may) but wasn’t able to wake up when she needed to go - and was used to weeing into a pull-up. Anyway, my husband was really sceptical but we started seeing results almost instantly. This was x6 weeks ago and we are now x3 weeks dry. When we thought it had stopped working after 2.5 weeks, I emailed Lynda and not only did she reply but she made my daughter a customised certificate and she was so chuffed. So pleased we didn’t go down the alarm/drugs route as for her, it was a behavioural issue.

Honestly, it’s been a game changer. She also does a version for older kids.

Hello everyone and thank you so much for all these helpful replies.
The kindness of strangers on here- one nappyvalley netter even gave me an alarm - what a lifesaver this forum is.
As to the above poster who asked me about the GP, yes I have absolutely been to my GP and asked for help. However so far the advice has been that he should grow out of it and that there are ‘drugs’ that might help if he doesn’t. We have been at the end of our tethers with this and I feel that I needed support from other parents, which can sometimes be more helpful when one hears from others and their advice. Which it most definitely has! So thank you to all the help, I really appreciate it and feel we are already some way to combatting this problem xx
