Have just started using a bed wetting alarm with DS who is 7. I know it's not uncommon for boys of this age to wet themselves but guidance now says to seek advice if still wetting from 5. We haven't been to the GP because of corona but instead looked at the ERIC website. We established he was drinking enough in the day, not constipated etc. So seems the options are medication or an alarm. We decided to try an alarm and bought one on Amazon. It works great!
So far we have been using it for just over a week. First two nights he weed twice, then 5 days of weeing at 1am and then not again or just before 6am if at all. Past two nights he's weed at 3am ish. Am wondering if this is progress?
If you have used on before what happened when you used it? Did they start weeing later in the night or did they wee less? His pants are still fairly sodden by the time he is woken up so it doesn't feel like progress on that front.
I just can't quite wrap my head around how it works!
