My DS is 4.5yrs, he's been having the odd accident in bed. But lately it's been more frequent. Everything thing at home is good, his daddy has been working longer hours and we see him less. Could this be a reason?

I know it is more common for boys to wet the bed and it an also take a longer time for them to be compleatly dry.

Sick of stripping beds off in the night and washing urine soaked sheets.
Anyone got any tips...?

completely normal. just put him back in pull ups if it is causing issues. would still be normal if he was 6. pls dont worry about it.

Perfectly normal. DD1 is 5.3 and still in pull-ups at night. They are wet each morning so until she is consistently mostly dry in the morning I won't be taking them off unless she asks to (have asked but she doesn't want to yet). As far as I understand, GPs don't consider bed wetting to be a problem until children are at least 7 years old.
