Night dryness for 7 year old

Hello

Does anyone have any advise my 6 year old still isn't dry at night. I have tried with the no drinks after 6 pm, and I have even tried waking him at 11 to go to the toilet however he is still wet in the morning. He never wakes either. my main concern is that he is really starting to get upset about wearing pull ups to bed.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

We bought a night time alarm you attach to their knickers for my five year old and have never looked back. It does help to sleep in the same room for the first week so you can get them up quick though.
Just follow the instructions they come with and get one with a sticker chart. She loved doing that.
We can't quite believe it worked as she'd never had a dry night until then - I think she was a very deep sleeper and just didn't wake up.
Good luck.

Try not to worry, it's actually quite normal not to be dry at night at 7. My two eldest boys weren't until 8 or 9, they were very deep sleepers. It's all down to the production of a hormone & there's not a lot you can do before it kicks in. I'd just reassure him & make as little fuss about it as possible. He'll get there eventually.

Snap!!

Alarm worked after about 2/3 weeks. Tough at first as was wet a lot and up every couple of hours but touch wood dry as a bone ever since and that was 6 months ago now.

Just to add we didn't have wet beds as we put a pull up over her pants. She didn't mind this and it didn't affect anything. We just changed that after she been to the loo.
