Help please! Need advice on bed wetting

[Boyswillbeboys]

DS1 (6.5) has started wetting the bed recently, never had a problem with this before. I can't think of anything that is likely to cause this, he's just gone into year 2, but has all the same friends etc, loves school, nothing unusual going on in his life.

I am exausted from having to get up in the night, change sheets, find new pyjamas etc! All while trying to not wake up DS2 who shares the room.

Any advice on how I can help DS1 stop this? He's not sure if he wakes up because he has done a wee, or if he wakes up needing one and can't get to the loo in time.

It did take a while to work on DS1, plus IME if they do happen to wake during the night it's back to square one because that appears to switch off the suppressing effect. We used DryNites & double layers too.

It's a hard road but they do get there in the end - in many ways coping mechanisms are the most important thing.

I do have to force ds2 into the shower! God, he moans about it!
