Infrequent bedwetting in 6 year old, will it just stop in a while?

[SpringchickenGoldBrass]

DS still occasionally wets the bed and it seems to come in clusters eg he will have a wet bed one night, then a couple of nights later wet again, then dry for months. There is no cause I can identify. Will he just grow out of it?

DS is 7.1 and is the same - wet beds on and off for a couple of weeks then suddenly, for no apparent reason, dry again.

I don't get it, he was dry at night from the day he potty trained at 2.4y and this has started in the last year or so.

It always seems to be about 5am - I'm guessing that he's so deeply asleep that he just doesn't realise he needs to go, however, during the dry spells he doesn't ever need to get up in the night to wee .

I think, as it's not every night, it is just an odd thing he'll grow out of as suddenly as he started - I frigging hope so anyway, the boy pees like a racehorse when he does wet and has wrecked one mattress and two duvets so far (the smell just doesn't come out - blee)!

DS was a bit late to potty train and it took a while for him to be dry at night, but up until this week he had been dry for about 2 months solid.

Is there anything you can identify on these days? Drunk less in the day than normal? Any caffeine? More tired? All of these have caused ds to wet the bled on occasions

make sure that you avoid red/brown drinks (ribena, cola) as these can irritate the bladder

increase fluid intake during the day (milk or water best) - to increase bladder volume and thus holding capacity

wee/teeth/wee (double-voiding) at bed time

make sure he's not constipated, this can press on the bladder and cause leaks

ds (6 nyears old) sometimes wets the the bed when he is constipated. If it carries on he even starts to soil the bed in his sleep. Once the constipation is sorted he is fine again. We very occasionally (once every 2-3 months get a wet bed that is not related to constipation)

He doesn't ever drink cola, and ribena only very, very rarely (doesn't seem to coincide with wet beds either). COnstipation has never been a problem. I think it's sometimes just tiredness and having drunk slightly more milk/water than usual. Oh well. At least we live in a world where there are Pampers Dry Nite bed mats... as long as the fecking things haven't got rucked up under the sheet...

SGB counter-intuitively have a go at him drinking more during the daytime; you could get school onside to remind him to drink through the school day
