My son is going to be 9 in May and he's still peeing the bed at night....?
I've had him to the doctor and all his tests came back good for kidney and bladder function. The doctor recommended an eneuretic alarm. It's a little probe attached to a moisture sensor that he puts in his good night absorbant pants and when it senses wetness an alarm goes off to wake him up. Well, he doesn't wake up to the alarm. He doesn't wake up to anything and that's what I think the problem is. He's a deep sleeper....MEGA deep sleeper!
My mom wants me to stop giving him drinks after supper. I've reduced him to water after supper and cut off all sugary drinks and pop during the day. I refuse to dehydrate my child just because I don't want him to wet the bed. He's in organized sports twice a week and is usually very active right until bedtime. This is why he's ony allowed to drink water after supper. If he's thirsty he'll only drink enough to quench the thirst.
Anyone have any words of encouragement? Will this get better with age or should I be worried at age 9?
This is not an abnormal situation, and you have done everything a responsable parent should do. Cutting off fluids at night doesn't solve the problem--your child's kidneys will continue to produce urine (albeit less) regardless of whether or not he has anything to drink before bed. That being said, its still worth monitoring his drinking habits in the evening, to make sure he isn't drinking 3 glasses before bed or something like that.
Bedwetting alarms have shown to help some children in scientific studies, but certainly not all of them. It obviously isn't a solution for your son, so save yourself the midnight awakenings and stop using it for now. It may be something you might want to try in a year or so when he is older, but don't push it too much.
This is a developmental issue, and there is no fighting it. Some kids his age read at a 10th grade level, some read at a 1st grade level. Some kids are musical, others are great at math. The point is every child is different and develops at different speeds in different areas. The important thing is to make sure that this isn't a big deal. Try to remove as much stress from the situation as possible. I think the diapers are a good thing as they will keep him dry during the night and reduce the impact of his accidents. Its much easier for him to dispose of a wet diaper in the morning than to deal with an entire soaked bed.
Try not to put too much power on the words of others, you and your child are the ones who are dealing with this situation, and you are best able to analyse the situation. Best of luck, and until he grows out of it, he is lucky to have such a great mom!
