DS wetting bed again after being dry at night for 3 weeks

My DS is 7 and it’s been a long time coming for him to be dry overnight. I spoke to GP preciously and they said it can be normal and wait until he’s 8 to investigate, even then it can still just happen.

Anyway I’ve been keeping a diary and for the past three , nearby four weeks he has been dry overnight, while wearing a night time pull up.
So we took him out of them, but kept the waterproof sheet etc on the bed.

Now the past two nights he has soaked the bed, yesterday it was first thing (5:45am) and then last night it was around 1:30am so I had to strip the sheets in the middle of the night - not fun.

We are thinking we now need to resort to night time pull ups again, he’s really not happy about this as he was so pleased to be out of them. But last night was awful and none of us got much sleep afterwards.

Is this common - to be dry for nearly a month then back to bed wetting? Nothing has changed, he doesn’t drink much at all before bed, he doesn’t have juice, we insist on him going to the toilet twice before bed, and he does.

So I’m not understanding this at all or why the bed was sooo wet? Surely he didn’t have that much fluid in him in the night after using the toilet twice before he even went to sleep.

@EleanorReally We don’t stop him from drinking altogether, only an hour or so before bed

I’m just confused as to why he wet so badly in the night when he hardly drank before bed and he had two wees before bed.
