[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 111145, member: 3493"] My 17 year old wets the bed still, though it is decreasing. We used DDAVP when he was younger but when he hit 9 we gave it to him only if he was going on a sleepover. We never used the pullups as a psychiatric we trusted told us it would be detrimental to his emotional well-being, particularly since he has 4 younger siblings who do NOT wet the bed, ever. We did the walking him thing for many years. At the height of the bedwetting, what did help was limiting both his caffeine intake (including chocolate) and severely restricting fluids after 7 PM and then sending him to pee every hour till bedtime and then again at bedtime. We found that if we walked him by 12:15 AM, he would stay dry - any later and he would pee at some point even if he went when we walked him. Right now, he is having a sleepover at a friend's house and he just called to say good night and we reminded him to go pee! The only positive of this is that I don't think he will be spending the night with any girls yet - it would be too embarrassing! [/QUOTE]
