Bedwetting dsc (9)

Name change
Bit of advice needed

yet again another bedwet from Dsc age 9 was awful a few years ago but had been dry for over a year.
Lately its every weekend.
Have asked if wets when with DM, the answer is yes, sometimes, about 2 a week.

Only drinks water and tbh not tonnes and not loads before bed.

When it's happened they sneak around, changed bottoms etc. And then wakes me (dh deep sleeper so I then wake him.) we both go change the bed by torch light so as not to wake dd on bottom bunk

Weve asked if any issues at home or school. Nothing.
No signs of uti
When we ask DM. She denies it happens at home to make out it only happens here. (history of making out we have issues and they don't but that's a different thread)

However dsc says when wets at home, they change and get into mummies bed. They like to sleep in mummies bed. Then mummy changes the bed in the morning or sometimes after work the next day if they don't have time meaning 2 nights in mummy's bed.

When it's done it's the duvet, cover, sheet, waterproof and even often as far up as the pillow. Min 2 loads of washing.

It's draining. Obviously can't help it but at my witts end.

Ds only had 1 accident ever. And dd 3 prob 5 times since being out of nappies day and night at 22m. I know all kids are different but this is a bit of a shock to the system.
I know it's normal but dh is convinced it's because at home it's then a 'treat' to get in with mummy, so makes dsc more lazy and not caring.?
I just don't know.

Get some night time pull ups. They are available in a size 8-14. I hope all the chat around him being lazy is away from his hearing. It can happen, it can be medical, can be for attention, can be for a million reasons. What would you do if it was your dc?

Yes of course nothing is discussed in front of dsc.
We wouldn't want dsc to feel 'belittled' (can't think of another word ) by putting nighttime pull ups on. But it's definitely an option as it's draining
I know aged 5 - 6 was seen by a specialist but said nothing wrong and it's one of them things.
If it was my dc, I don't know tbh as haven't really had that like i say my eldest only wet once and 3yr old a handful of times since 22m of age.
We still have 1 to go tho so never know he may be a wetter?

We only ever ask questions like.
Is everything OK at school / home etc.
Is everyone at school being nice.
Is your work OK not difficult or too easy.
Are you happy.
Does anything when with us bother you.

Just to see if there's something on their mind
