My son is 9 and he's still wetting the bed. I've tried making him go to the bathroom before bed I've stopped liquid consumption and have had no luck he wets the bed everyday. I have bought Goodnites for a long time. He's pediatrician has said it's a maturity issue and he'll grow out of it. I seriously don't think that's the case and I'm stressed about it and my son gets frustrated as well.

Bedwetting is most common in boys and one of the most common causes is that the bladder isn't growing as fast as the rest of his body. Since you have tried a few things to help your son already, there are other suggestions that may help. Certain food and drinks that contain caffeine, citrus, and dairy can help to increase the urine a child produces. By process of elimination can you find out if this is the case. Also, if your son is taking any medications, check to see if they trigger wetting as well. To help with the stress, we have an article that may be useful.
