5 year old still wet every night, in fact does multiple wees. Thought we'd use the summer holidays as moment to bite the bullet and take away the pull-ups. Potty in her room. She was keen to try. We did no water after 6.30 (after making sure she drank lots during the day) and made sure she went to the loo- twice- before bed. Result: three nights, several wees (in the bed!) each night, all bedding changed, etc etc.

She's SUCH a deep sleeper, almost nothing can rouse her. We tried lifting her onto the loo last night and she just slumped over our arms (and didn't wee)- had no memory of it in the morning. She even sleeps through the wet sheets.

WIBU to just put her back in pull-ups and try again in a few months? I have contacted the GP as I know the age for concern is now 5, but I've seen so many people on here say that their kids weren't dry until 6 or 7 but then it magically happened- I don't want to be negligent by not trying anything, but equally it seems her body is just not ready.
