nocturnal enuresis
My Son, (age 10) has had a history of wetting the bed at night. (About 80% of the time) We have had him on a bed wetting program for the last 4 years where he has an alarm attached to a pad lying under him. This has decreased the incidents per night from up to 4 to now where it is usually 1 time per night. His alarm goes off and we as parents get up and take him to the bathroom, washing him with a cold rag and/or splashing his face with cold water. This does not usually wake him up right away but after 10 minutes or so he finally comes out of his deep sleep. He wants very much to be free from this. He is bright and sensitive. He is very conscientious as well. This is one area that he feels very badly about. We don't know what else to do differently. Can you help us.

Dear Dale,
If use of the wet-stop alarm hasn't eliminated the problem, you essentually have two other choices. You can patiently wait it out - he will ultimately be dry at night. Or, you can attempt one of several medications your pediatrician can advise you about.
If the bedwetting very much troubles your son, and he is unable to participate in events like sleepovers or invite others to your house, use of medication might be very helpful to him.

The best thing I suggest you to do is wait, and explain to your son that it is not his fualt! I once had Enuresis (nocturnal) and have been on the same program and others. 10% of children are Enuretic which is over 3 million children. And this problem should go away before the age of 16. Now If you would like to do something I incist you contact your family doctor to help. You should check into two other things (1. Alarms for Enuresis (which are extremely loud) (2. medication (not recomended) while you could wait for a few years instead. Ditropan is one of the drugs that could be used. It helps the bladder to hold more and stronger. But waiting Is best. And never, no matter what punish him for his problem that he can't control.
