10 year old daughter suddenly bed wetting again after months of being dry

[Lisa697]

At the beginning of the year, my 10 year old daughter who has never being completely dry at night, had a period of about 5 months being completely dry. We used the Rodger bed wetting alarm device and thought that was it and were so pleased.

However now she has regressed and is wetting again during the night. This is occurring around midnight most nights , and she continues to sleep through her bed wetting alarm so I’m waking her to go to the toilet. It’s pretty disheartening for her after we both thought she was over this.

Any suggestions or experiences greatly received. Thank you.

Have you ruled out constipation. This is typically the most likely cause. Even if you think she is going normally she could be extremely backed up inside with poo. You need a complete clear out with high doses of laxative to clear out.

The bedwetting alarms aren't a good long term solution, I've tried them before with some success but after a few week of not using the alarm it's back to wet sheets.

She might grow out of it in time, in the short term your best letting her just wear something to keep her dry and give her a good night's sleep.

I started to have wetting issues again around that age. Please go to see the doctor about it. Mine was really helpful. It turned out that I had grown faster than my bladder (it is catching up again... slowly!) The best thing that came out of it was the decision to use nappies at night again. I didn't feel that way about it at first - but it really made a difference to me being able to have a good nights sleep. Hope this is helpful
