Son bed wetting age 6 & half

[Luciemariee93]

NEED SOME ADVICE!! I took pullups off my 6 year old son of a night time a few weeks into lock down & he's still wetting the bed mostly twice a night. I've tried not giving him a drink after tea but no change. Wondering if anyone else has gone through this or has any ideas that I could try. Thank you!!

I don't think it's massively uncommon at that age.

I saw a specialist nurse. For our specific issues the nurse was great and explained that it's really important to keep them drinking slowly and steadily through the day with regular emptying the bladder. If they don't empty their bladder often enough the kidneys back up and even after they've emptied the bladder then it fills again straight away.

The other thing, that wasn't relevant to us, was black currant is really irritating to the bladder so avoid especially in the afternoon and evening.

Thank you that's really helped

Definitely not uncommon. Put the pull-ups back on, it doesn't sound like he's ready to be dry overnight yet and it will be more upsetting to have wet beds all the time (for everyone!)
