I have a 6 1/2 year old who is a bed wetter also. He will wet the bed probably 5 nights out of 7. I was using the brolly sheets but during winter it just got too much with the washing and trying to get it dry so I put him back into pull up. I recently bought a book from the Royal Childrens Hospital and it suggested things like teaching her child that they are the boss of their bladder etc.
A few things they mentioned was not to wake them to take them to the toilet as that isn't teaching their brain to recognise when they need to go. The also said not to restrict fluids if anything increase fluids as it might help to strech the bladder.
I have noticed with my son that he goes to the toilet alot during the day, so I think part of his problem is he has a small bladder.
I'm looking at addressing it further with next year, after the baby is born, the school nurse gave me some information of local incontinence nurses as I think you need to identify what type of bedwetter they are before you can address the problem.
