Hi, this is the first time I've posted on mumsnet, have come on for some advice about DS1 who is 7.6 and still wets the bed about once a week. He's a very heavy sleeper and only wakes to tell me he's wet the bed when it's all gone cold.
Is this normal? I thought they were supposed to have stopped bed wetting by the time they were 7? (or so the health visitor says...) 
He never drinks fizzy, or hot chocolate, or ribena. We stick to milk, water, apple or orange juice, occasionally robinsons summer fruits squash. I really don't want to medicate him for this, but can't see the point of alarms that only go off once the bed it wet?!
What else can I do? We stopped lifting him at age 6, which went well for a while, where he would be dry for two or three weeks at a stretch. Recently (last 2/3 months) the wet beds have increased to the current level of approx once a week. I would really appreciate advice from anyone in similar situation - I know sleepover parties can't be too far away now and I don't want him to be worried about going to a friends overnight because of this issue.......thankyou :)
