You need to get him up everyevening to go to the toilet, increase water in the day to 2litre's with not much 2 hours before bed, this will increase the size of the bladder so he can hold more at night. Take all colouring and flavourings out of his diet, no tea, coffee, hot coc and no pop. This should help if you need anymore help email me on info@coverdry.com |

Don't listen to diaperware you only have to look at his profile pic to see y? Instead you should suggest visiting your dr or ask them for advice. If they recommend using a product like drynites then go ahead. Have you thought about what causes it. E.g. Is he stressed.

I wet the bed most nights at 15. My mother took me to the doctors and he was very matter of fact about it and said I would most likely become dry at night in my own time and then reffered me to the continence nurse. My mother was able to get all kinds of bedwetting aids. I was supposed to see a specialist if my bedwetting didn't improve. I never went. I still wet the bed and I'm 50 now. I never wanted to talk about my bedwetting when I was in my teens. It didn't bother me that I wet the bed but then it never has. Does your son sleep through his wetting I always have. I also have to admit that as a teenager I liked the feeling of wetting my bed and often did it deliberately. I have realised since being on the net that many teenagers like wetting too. It may well be a stage he is going through. My advice would be try and get him to the doctors to see if there is a medical reason for it. They are much better now at trying to cure the problem. "He'll grow out of it" was the usual answer when I was a lad. If there is no medical reason for it then it may be a case of just accepting it and hopefully he will become dry in his own time. Some of us never do but it isn't the end of the world. I was dry from being about 18 until my mid twenties and have had dry periods since but I'm wet most nights again now, but that is just the way I am. Likely as not your son will become dry at night in his own time> I realise it must be frustrating for you if he seems totally unconcerned about it. I know it was for my parents. They couldn't understand why I was quite happy to sleep soaking in my own urine every night and the frustration of dealing with wet sheets every day. They eventually made me do my own laundry which I think is a good idea. If your son continues to wet the bed then he should be responsible for sorting his own bed out every day. I hope the situation improves but in the meantime just remember it's only a wet bed does it really matter. |

Of course he doesn't want to talk about it. He's 15 and is obviously very embarrassed about it.
There are medication that might help, but you have to get him to the doctor. That is itself could be troublesome. You could also try a bed wetting alarm that he just clips into his undies when going to bed. You could also get some DryNite/Goodnites absorbent underwear. Just slip one under his pillow so he doesn't have to discuss it. If he doesn't want to use it, let him take care of the bed clothes, and maybe he sees sense. Good luck! |

Patience: Do some research on a Doctor Steven Hodge and "adolescent bedwetting." He talks a lot about constipation and has had excellent results treating adolescents for constipation with a result of no more bedwetting. So one else suggested just hiding a pull-on type product. I'd suggest checking out http://www.theincontinencestore.com with their free delivery and discreet shipping. |
