Anyone else doing the Dri Nite movement sensor bedwetting trial?

[Wailywailywaily]

We agreed to participate in a trial to develope a movement sensor phone app - the theory being that children change their sleep wriggle patterns just before a wetting incident. Ultimately the app will wake children up before they wet the bed but its not developed that far yet.

It turns out that it has been a huge turning point for DS (5yo) and bedwetting - up to christmas he has never had a dry night, infact he has had frequent very, very wet ones. Then as we were preparing him for the trial (which is no more onerous than putting a phone under his pillow and pressing a few buttons) something seemed to finally register in his head so that by a week before the trial started he started to have dry nights and now that the trial has started he is dry more nights than wet.

Up to this point I have been convinced that his hormones have just not matured and that he would gradually dry out. I have been very calm about the whole bedwetting problem and prepared to just wait it out. But the change has been so sudden that I'm not so sure any more. The trial in itself has not changed anything - as the app has not actually yet been developed - it seems that he has finally realised that peeing in the bed is really not on. We have given him control of the phone and the buttons and he is taking the responsibility very seriously.

I was recruited for the trial from MN so I was just wondering what others experiences are so far?

Interesting! DS is very recently nappy free during the night. It's been a bit hit & miss and I've joked about a device that gives him a little zap (dark homour, honestly) to prevent a full flood. Not much help to you, I realise but glad your DS has found his way dry

You don't need to be any help Poor, funnily the alarm we got to wake DS if he wets is so loud it may as well just deliver a shock I demonstrated it to DS and he just went pale and refused to use it.
