Several children with incontinence

Hey! I was recommended to this group by others! I have three children. One is a teenager and the other two are 9 and 11 years old. All of them have dealt with bedwetting and bladder problems throughout their lives. Their father is not involved in their lives anymore, but both him and wet our beds growing up, but eventually grew out of it.

I have consistently told them that this is something they will grow out of. We have taken them all to the doctor in the past and they’ve never been able to find anything wrong with them. My teenage son is the one I’m the most worried about. He wet his bed until he was about nine years old and it stopped. About two years ago, it started back up again. It was always very light wetting so I was able to just have him wear a pad in his underwear and it took care of it.

Here lately he has been peeing through the pad and onto his clothes and the bed. I took him back to the doctor again and they’re still unable to find anything wrong with him other than he is a very deep sleeper. We have tried different alarms to wake him up, but he sleeps straight through them.

Does anyone have any idea what’s could be causing this. Or what medicines or products could help him or either of my other children?

I agree ERIC website very helpful. We also have a deep sleeper, but found desmopressin and witholding fluids before bed worked at night
