Have you been to the doctors? The doctor referred us in to the school nurse who went through a lot of things with us up this issue. My dc was prescribed medication (I think a synthetic hormone which Stalinist urine production overnight) which helped a bit, but didn’t cure the issue. We then tried a bed wetting alarm which sorted it out. We were loaned one from the nhs and it took about a week and dc has been dry since. I was really sceptical about it workin, but it did!
Have you spoken to the doctors/school nursery about it for support to see what they suggest?

Hi, thanks for that. I think I'll go for the alarm. It is what a lot of people have advised. I went to the docs and they did loads of tests and said there was no issue 🤔 so the alarm is the next try.

We're trying an alarm right now with my 6yo. They've had dry nights for the first time in their life - I really wasn't expecting it! It's not consistent, say 3 dry nights and one wet - but hoping it will improve. We do pants under pullups but will move to no pullups once it gets a bit more consistent.
