My 4 year is starting to become dry at night he can go days sometimes even a week dry then have a night really wet . History of constipation which is now managed , his brother just "got it" at night then no accidents so was expected the same but guess his body is still adjusting ?

he is still only young, essentially you are waiting for the hormone vasopressin being produced and that's something you can't control. There are things that you can do to help though, ensure that he drinks plenty of water during the day, this will help to train the bladder to hold more liquid, do not lift to take to the toilet at night as it only manages the issue and not deal with it, but do take him to the toilet before bed twice and make sure he completely empties her bladder, count to 30, you will be surprised how much wee comes out again. Don't restrict liquids after a certain time, it doesn't actually work . Have a read of this article bbuk.org.uk/wp-content/uplo... . Bedwetting is extremely common, i think in a class of 30 children (primary age) 1in 3 will still be wetting at night.
