I know there are others out there with the same problem - 10% of kids that age still wet the bed every night, and I guess as I haven't come across anyone else who's admitted to it, I guess I feel alone. It's every night, too, not just occasionally. He is a deep sleeper so I guess that might be it, but will be taking him to the doctors soon as they say if they are still doing it every night at around 7 years of age to get them checked to rule out physical problems.
We've tried all sorts of things - stopping drinks after a certain time etc. They actually don't recommend this OR do they recommend waking them to take them to the toilet in the night etc. We've also made him wash his own sheets etc to no avail.
As for the #2's, we had a star chart for him and his brother - DS 3 year old got stickers for using the toilet, DS7 got stickers each day for not pooing in his pants. He has stayed at a schoolfriends overnight once, I thought he'd be embarassed about wearing a pull-up to bed while there but he didn't seem to care.
I'll probably take him to the doctors soon and see what they say. I'm just getting fed up with it a bit as I seem to be dealing with dirty undies, pull-ups and nappies all the time!
Oh well, when I'm old and incontinent it will be payback time! LOL
