We are waiting for an appointment for another referral to the Enuresis Clinic (seen last year but DS refuses to cooperate fully with drinking) but I’m getting so frustrated with him.
In the past couple of weeks he is now so wet that the Huggies Drynites Pull-up doesn’t contain the urine and he is flooding the bed too. He will very rarely drink much during the day at school (mostly only 1-2cm from his water bottle) and then wants to drink loads from 5pm/ish, or sometimes won’t drink at all.
The enuresis nurse said he must drink 1.3-1.5 Litres per day to expand his bladder but he just won’t. Even a drop of squash won’t get him drinking. Bowels are fine. He simply doesn’t wake at night and has slept through since 7 months old. I bed wet until 13 so there is an increased chance of him bed wetting until late too.
We are due to go away for a week before Christmas and staying in a hotel and if the pull ups aren’t containing the wee, and even if we take waterproof sheets where do we wash these?! I can’t spend our break at a laundromat washing/drying every day.
I’m so fed up, and I know he is too because he’s asked a few times when am I seeing the nurse because I want to try the alarm again. We have definitely noticed a difference in him being dry when he does drink a lot during school but generally speaking he just won’t do it.
The nurse said waking him when you go to bed and getting him on the toilet doesn’t help long/term (it didn’t help me) but I’m willing to try anything.
Just venting really, I can see why my parents got so fed up with the constant washing too 😩
