DD1 (5) bedwetting every night need advice

[yoursurroundedbyarmedbastards]

After reading the other thread about the 7 year old still in nappies at night. This got me thinking about dd1. She is wet every night, sometimes the mattress is literally dripping with pee. It really upsets her and she gets awfully embarrassed about it. I don't tell her off of course give her a cuddle and just routinely change the bed every morning. She was late coming out of nappies but has been out of them during the day since she was 3 and a half. I took the nightime nappies off her about 6 months ago as I thought because she was wearing them she didn't feel the need to wake and go the toliet. I thought after a few weeks of bedwetting she would wake but she didn't.

So I started lifting her twice in the evening before I went to bed. Sometimes this would work and she would be dry, but more often than not she would still be wet in the morning. It's got that bad that I'm going to have to get a new mattress because even though I sponge it down it's started to smell.

So my question is should I put her back in those huggies nightime nappies you can get for older kids? Will this set her back, or due think it may help because she won't be embarrassed about having a wet bed? Or will she feel like a baby because she's got one on and her little sister (22m) also wears a nappy?

Ok totally different perspective here. Yes it can be treated by a GP way before teen years but the medicine is just to stop uterine production not to cure the problem.
I would put her back in pull ups, but some Brolly sheets (Google) and get to the gp for some desmomelt. If it persists to about nine I would be getting a referral to an enuresis clinic, out of your area if it doesn't exist locally because at least then you can ask questions and get a plan in place.

Urine not uterine fgs

You can't train for night time continence. It's a developmental stage that they will get to. Five is still very young. I'd put her back in pull ups because there isn't much else that can be done at that age and it can't be much fun for either of you for her to wet her bedding each night. Lifting her will only work if you wake her up completely before putting her on the loo. Doing it in her sleep doesn't do anything as her body is just continuing to wee in her sleep. The sleep alarm only works if your child is getting to the stage where the hormone is being produced but not at high enough levels to be entirely dry. Give her time. Most likely she will get there. If it gets the stage where it becomes a problem then you can speak to your school nurse about getting some help.
