"We have begun getting our daughter up twice a night and she has been dry for weeks now. We get her up at midnight and again at about 3:30 a.m. She doesn't have any liquids after about 7:00 p.m. She's even begun sleeping in her underwear instead of her GOODNITES® Underpants and wakes up feeling really good about herself."

"My son is 3, and even though he was potty trained he still had wet nights. To help his self-esteem, my husband and I came up with a new rule. He can drink as much as he wants during the day and at dinner (6:00 p.m.) he gets one 6-ounce cup of milk. Before he goes to bed at 8:00 p.m., he goes to the bathroom and gets a sip of water if he wants it. Since we started this plan there are no wet nights!"

"Be supportive. Make it out to be no big deal, as the more your kid's attention is focused on the embarrassment and shame of something he cannot control the more nervous and ashamed he will feel. Say nothing to him. Do not buy electrocution products [wet alarms], etc. My daughter wet her bed till she was 10 years old. We had our system: I would sneak a pull-up in her sleeping bag so she could discretely put it on if she wanted to accept an overnight invitation. We went to a doctor and I asked her if there was some sort of medication that would help her. The doctor gave her a pill that causes water retention. She took it a few hours before bed and woke in clean dry sheets. She took the pill for seven days and has been dry ever since. She is now 17 years old. I know, as I wet the bed until I was 8, that when your body is ready or when a child is old enough to take this medication which, for the life of me I do not remember its name, it will help. My parents made me not drink, wear diapers and use an electrocution pad that scared me to death as it gave you a shock to wake you when it got wet. I would make myself stay awake, or I would sleep on the floor. Patience and love are what we can give our children. There is no solution for the bedwetting issue except to discretely use a pull-up each evening or wash the sheets. All normal children otherwise will mature into an adult who wakes in a dry bed."

"Nothing lasts forever. My first and third sons were dry all night from age 3-1/2 on, but my second son has a medical condition that causes day and night wetting. He's going into first grade, but with the help of medicine, prayer and a vibrating watch to tell him to go, he's making progress. All kids are different, and being patient and loving makes all the difference."

"I believe the most important and best advice for a child and parent dealing with bedwetting is that the vast majority of children will outgrow this problem. Never, ever make a child feel ashamed about his/her bedwetting! It cannot be helped, and the child should not be made to feel guilty. No child wants to wet the bed. My daughter is 12 now and still has many mornings when she wakes up wet. She has been taking medication for about two years with not a lot of improvement. Of course, GOODNITES® Underpants are the best for boosting self-esteem. We limit her caffeine intake, especially after 6 p.m.; soda most definitely is a big problem for her. She is a very deep sleeper, never waking on her own at night, so I have started getting her up about 5 a.m. She is always dry on those mornings, although this is not really fixing the problem. Her urologist agrees that she will outgrow her bedwetting, but since she is getting into those pre-adolescent times, she suggested we try using an alarm now. Young pre-teens have their own set of problems and stressors, and bedwetting shouldn't have to add to them. Wish her luck."
