Bed Wetting Alarm- How Long Will It Take with an 8 Year Old Boy?

[Highlander]

ds has never been dry at night, and always overflows his pullups. i usually lift him at 10pm. No other issues.

Have bought a wireless alarm. I was up 3 times last night to change the bed etc.

I don't think DH and I can cope with that level of disturbance for very long..... Gawd, I'm getting horrible flashbacks to the baby days

how long should we continue? Will he dry up eventually with age anyway?

Have you been in touch with your GP at all? At 8 I think they'll start trying strategies to deal with it - 7 is usually the trigger age. There are sometimes medical reasons although often it does just seem to be a case of growing out of it. But they should be supportive and give you some help.

My nephew did it age 9 and it took a couple of weeks. Not sure how many times a night would have to ask db.
