Dd is 7.
She potty trained at 2 years 9 months no problem but was much slower to be dry at night.
We have never made a big deal of it.
She wore pull ups until she was consistently dry at night for a few months.
She had the odd accident initially then went through weeks of bed wetting either every night or several nights per week. This caused her a bit of distress as she was embarrassed. So we went back to pull ups for a while to save her the embarrassment, and again after being dry for a few months we tried again.
Since then it’s been really mixed. Months of dry nights, then a couple of accidents, dry spells again then maybe a longer run of wet nights.
A friend gave me one of the alarms last summer when DD was 6.5. This was after weeks of wetting the bed. As soon as we used the monitor she stopped peeing during the night. If she needed to pee she got up. The alarm didn’t once go off because she had wet the bed. It was as though having the alarm on was enough to prompt her?
Fast forward again to this year - we had a run again of wet nights and we started to use the alarm again. Once again no more wet nights. The alarm has NEVER gone off since we started to use it as DD has had no accidents.
Why is this?
DD is now 7, she will be 8 next month.
