Just wondered if anyone has anything helpful here. I have 3 DC, my youngest 2 are 6 (twins), 7 in a couple of months. One of my twins (DT2) is still wetting the bed. It took me ages to get him out of nappies, he was 5. He had a full week of being dry so I ditched the nappies. A month after that he went back to wetting the bed. It has been peaks and troughs until the last few months, where it has just been constant, every night, sometimes twice a night and it's not a dribble, it's full bladder empty.
I have tried restricting fluid in take before bed, making sure he goes to the loo before bed, even waking him up during the night to go for a pee. But nothing works.
I went to the GP last year but she said they don't even consider him being late in toilet control until age 7!?
So of course I will go back to the GP when he turns 7. But I'd love to hear anything that worked for you lovely mumsnetters. I'm at a bit of a loss.
Other DC were quick out of nappies and have always had good bladder control.
DT2 only started being dry during the day when he was about 4.
He sleeps through wetting the bed, totally unaware until he wakes up cold and soaked. Because of his age, he understands that his friends and sister are not doing this, and it really gets him down.
Unsure if this has any relevance, he had meningitis when he was 7 weeks old, came quite close to death. There is a family history of Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, hypermobile type which does for other family members create bladder issues. But he shows no other indication that he might have it.
