My DD is 6 and never had a dry night until we started the "mat and bell program "through our child health nurse. So far she has had runs of 10 and 11 nights without accidents. She was always waking up VERY wet and it did not bother her until we started this.
I don't know the answer as Mackenzie has been great but could you put her on the toilet before you go to bed? Some people do this but I didn't as I knew Mackenzie would wake up too much and we would never get her back to sleep. Just a thought.
My DD is 4 1/2 and still wears a nappy to bed. She is wet nearly every night. We have started a chart system and that went well for 3 days but then back to wetting. The Herald Sun newspaper recently ran an article on it and they suggested a new product called Slumberdry, which is an absorbent pad which can be washed and put in the dryer if it gets wet. Its about $40. They said that kids find it hard to stop wetting the bed when they are in nappies. I'm going to get one and try it, I'll let you know how it goes, hopefully good news! Good luck.
both my boys wet the bed my eldest is 6 and the youngest is 4 ive noticed they some times have a great run of dry nights then a bad run. no matter what we do it doesn't help. ive spoke to our health nurse and they said it should stop when they are 7. my eldest Adam is quite self counies of it and gets quite upset we try and not to make a big deal of as a lot of children have this problem.
nikbrad what is the the "mat and bell program " ild be intrested in finding out more about that.
I was told they could go on medication but im not to confortable with that idea my self has any one ever tried any thing like that.
Kimberley still wets the bed at night and i thought putting her in a cloth nappy would help stop this but it hasn't at the moment i have her in drynights but she still wakes up wet.
I'd love to know how the mat on the bed works out. But wouldn't you need a couple so you can change it if they wet halfway through the night ?
