awww thanks everyone i appreciate it! yeah, i was a night bedwetter as well, up until i was maybe 7 or 8 i think? my parents used the alarm on me. it just sucks that i spent $45 on an alarm that doesn't even go off until he is absolutely soaking, if it goes off at all. i slept downstairs with him a few times, and i would wake up to go to the toilet, think 'oh i better just check him' to see that he's soaking wet and the alarm hasn't gone off at all!!

anyway....yeh im not pushing it with him, i think i might leave him for a bit longer, and then maybe try again. but he's happy to go to bed in night nappies.

thanks everyone for your advice
