My DD is amazing. She’s learning and growing in every way, I’m very proud.
My DD has at times asked to go to bed with pants on instead of nappy pants but without fail, she just sleeps through the need to pee and wets herself. I’ve heard this is only really treated as a “problem” when they are 7 so perhaps we still have to wait it out.
I can’t help but think we should be trying ways for DD to learn to hold in a pee at bedtime. Or at least, go to the loo in the night.
Any advice would be appreciated!

It's totally normal, just wait. My DC was 8 before they were dry. There is a tablet you can give them on prescription but it didn't work with mine, they just suddenly grew out of it. It's really not a big deal and using alarms aged 5 seems a bit excessive, they're only little.

That is the current NICE guidelines for treatment from age 5 though - if limiting liquids, wee before bed and a week of no nappies doesn’t get them mostly dry.
The alarm on my link you can lower the volume and it has a vibrate so it wasn’t some blaring siren and it worked in about a week to get her dry.
