Great results even after a week

Hi everyone I figure while many families are having to self-isolate now is a good time to crack kids bedwetting. I have just started my son with a Ramsay Coote alarm from Bedwetting solutions uk and its amazing. He has made such progress already even after a week. She's a lovely lady and gives lots of helpful advice. So good luck everyone with the new few uncertain weeks and those fellow parents trying to help their children get dry

I fear I'm going to have a massive struggle trying to get back to square one from the effects of the panic buying.

I've been unable to get suitable pull up pants recently for my grandaugter, so have had to use small adult nappies from Tesco as that's all I could find, she needs them at night anyway but she couldn't get the hang of un tapeing them to use the loo during the day, she did try for the first few days she came home from school clean and not overly wet, normally the nappies had a tab or two ripped off, then she started coming home wet and dirty.

I confronted her about it and she told me she wasn't going to go to the toilet unless she had pants without tabs. Her teacher had to send a classroom assistant to find her after she damaged all 4 tabs on a nappy and wouldn't leave the bathroom until she had a fresh nappy on.

Unfortunately she got used to being back in nappies very quickly and is still not really trying to get to the loo even now she's back in drynites.

Schools are off here from Friday so I guess it's going to be a battle of wills, and bribery to get her back on track towards being clean and dry.

Hi, how does the alarm work ? And how do you move from using it to stopping using it? Was going to try and speak to a doctor about this but no chance of that now ? Thanks

Hi - its pretty simple - the alarm goes off the minute the child starts to wet and they are encouraged to get up, turn it off and then go to the loo. It is loud but we muffled it a bit with a towel - my son woke up but would shout for me to come and turn it off but then he still went to the bathroom - it went off once/twice a night and after a week or so he's started getting up and going to the bathroom without the alarm going off so he's not wetting - although last night it went off once but its definitely working. You keep a record of when it goes off and when you have 21 consecutive nights of not wetting - its done its job! They say it can take as little as between 6-8 weeks to work. Good luck - its not easy in these times
