Bed Wetting Alarm Pad

six year old son, my friends still can not seem to stay a week without at least 2 bed wetting incidents. It has rubber sheets on the bed, and he wears pull-ups, but they do nothing to solve the problem. The numbers game is his fault. She intends to wake up every night to go to the toilet, but it is a struggle to wake him up! They say that being a sound sleeper is a major factor in bed wetting at this age, and I believe. His story is not very different from mine.

I was looking for ideas and tried to reward cards, reminders night (to hear your bladder!), And sometimes wake up before going to bed.

But I got to the point where I think something more dramatic is requested.

I went to the doctor and I'm pretty sure this is not medically related. Moreover, they say it is hereditary and some of our parents bedwetting, too. Well, I do not want these boys to have to deal with this when they are twelve. They are about the age when they start to get invited on overnight, and it is a problem!

So I'm looking to put wetting alarms, and there is a huge gap in price.

I found a cheap $ 20 dollar devices that clip to the shoulder, and a cord down to the pants. I also found pants with an invisible thread that require only a clip on the pants themselves. I really liked this version because the wet bed alarm is a remote device, it can not turn it off and go back to sleep. Of course, we are going over $ 100.

I also read that some require the child to attach something like a mini-pad, but this seems cumbersome and downright cruel if the poor little guy is already embarrassed by bedwetting. Then there is a bed wetting alarm Malem which can both sound and vibrate at the first sign of moisture. Decisions, decisions ...

I think I feel better than taking any kind of action now.

I read a statistic that says that if nothing is done 85% of children will still wet the bed within a year. An article I read said that we will need to use the wet bed alarm for 12 weeks for it to really work. At first I thought, "12 weeks to three whole months!" But then I got real and decided that 12 weeks is much better than a year, or 6 years.

So my strategy is to continue to do some things we did. I will remind him of the night to "listen to his bladder," we can start a reward chart, and we'll add the bet wetting alarm. I also try to prepare myself mentally for the fact that this will not be a cure one day. My nights to change the sheets and comforting my son wet and shivering are not yet complete. But we are taking decisive action, and I think each of us will feel better.
