My daughter still wets the bed most night. She has peen potting trained in the day since just after she was 2.

The past week, we have been stopping food/drunk at 4pm and then she will go to bed at 8pm, using the toilet beforehand.

She has wet the bed most night. But she will wake up right after she wees.

Tonight for example, I checked her bed around 12.15am and it was dry, then she woke up at 1.30am saying it was wet. Is there anyway I can help her wake up instead of sleeping through it?

Another vote for the pull-ups here.

Don’t get nappies though. I know they’re cheaper and often work better but they have a baby vibe.

I got DD some Pampers by accident when I ran out of her usual pants and thought I was ordering Pampers pants because the usual night pants were unavailable.

She was horrified.

I made the same mistake.

My DD wore the nappy part of the night and took it off very early morning then refused to go back to sleep.

Put her in pull ups and leave a dry pair so she can take off the wet one and have dry pants. She's not ready. It's not unusual

5 is still young. DD wet the bed pretty regularly (not nightly, but pretty much weekly) at that age. Being over tired or ill made it more frequent.

When it was really frequent we put her in pull ups. Then we started taking her to the toilet when we went to bed at 10ish (I know the advice is a little mixed on this), which worked for her.

DD1 who is now 20 needed a nappy at night til she was about 7. DD2 wasn't much better.
