[QUOTE="weatheringthestorm, post: 111197, member: 4424"] Both of my boys were nightly bedwetters and have only recently (last year of so) stopped. They're almost 16 (difficult child) and 13 (easy child). We now have only the occassional wet night. ALL the males on my side of the family were bed wetters. My brother wet the bed until he was about 16 (part of his problem was medications). It's likely that your difficult child's bladder just hasn't matured as quickly as the rest of him. This was the problem with both my difficult child and easy child. You can take him to a urologist to be sure, that's what I did. I wanted to rule out any problems and it was embarassing for them so they wanted help. My oldest took the medications for a while and was mostly dry with them. Then we lost or rx coverage and had to stop the medications. Add this to the medications and well... you get trouble. Both boys sleep extremely sound which didn't help. We tried waking them during the night,etc. It was a ton of hassle and not much help. difficult child sleeps so soundly we could barely get him up, into the bathroom, and pointed the right way. We discovered that it wasn't enough to limit liguids after a certain time, we had to limit food too. They could have a snack, but not a drink and still wet. Pull-Ups and Good Nights were life savers for us. It allowed them to have sleep overs, etc and none of their friends ever found out. I would have them pack the good night, some wipes in a sandwhich bag, and a plastic grocery bag with their stuff. They'd take their back pack in to change into pj's (a long baggy shirt helps too) and they'd put it on. In the morning they'd take their bag into the bathroom to get dressed, take it off, store it in the plastic bag, and bring it home to dispose of. They would also watch what they would eat and drink, make frequent bathroom trips, and stay up late. But, they got to be "normal" kids. The problems really resolved themselves. Their bladders matured. We just managed the symptoms until nature caught up. For both my boys taking Benedryll was a garuanteed wet night. It made them sleep more soundly and then they would wet EVERY time. Even though they've been dry for some time now Benedryll will still cause wet nights. Best of luck to all! [/QUOTE]
