My friend who is not a MNer has had a bedwetting breakthrough and I told her that I would post it on Mumsnet as you lot would all be interested I am sure.
Here's the story ...
Friend's DD (6 in August) has never ever had a dry night. They have tried everything from star charts to denying her drinks past 4pm to no avail. She has always been a deep sleeper and by 5am her pullup has been so full that it has leaked through. My friend tried not letting her have a pull up but after a few nights of getting up at 2am to change the bedlinen she gave up.
It got to a point lst week when friend's DD went to a playmate's house for a sleep over and afterwards she asked her mummy why she wet the bed but her friend didn't. This led to a discussion and friend's DD asked her mummy to help her get dry at night. So my friend went and bought one of those alarms. Basically it is an alarm that fits to a sanitary pad type thing in the knickers and goes off at any sign of moisture. Her DD was keen to try it and was more concerned about the noise of the alarm frightening her.
So ... my friend kept waking up in the night and checking her daughter wondering why the alarm wasn't working ... until 5.30am when she woke to hear her DD going to the loo.
DRY FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER!!!!!
I know every child is different but for my friend's DD it was a breakthrough and it might help some of you who are having probs with dry nights ...
Cheers xx
