Wetting the bed at night

So my 4 year old (nearly 5) has been potty trained since he was 2, but for a while now he has been wetting the bed so I've had to put a pull up on him, at first I just thought it was a one off and then he continued to wee the bed and I must of changed his bedding about 4 times a week.
He goes the toilet before bed and will sleep the whole night and every morning his pull up is soaked through
I'm not really sure what to do, he's a really bad worrier he worries about everything especially bed time and he will try and put it off for as long as possible, I reassure him that there's nothing to be scared off, he also doesn't like the dark so I keep the landing light on and his door wide open and I've tried a night light too but doesn't make a difference,

Does anyone have any tips? Smile

Night time dryness is about hormones not control at this age. There's a hormone they need to be producing in order to wake up and go to the toilet, without it they just wee when needed.

Does he ever wake up with a dry pull up or is it consistently wet?
