I have a son who wets the bed at least 2-3 times a week...he always has...We tried moisture alarms, setting 2 different alarm clocks during the night, limiting beverages, limiting caffeine. Nothing seems to work. I make him change his linens...sometimes he covers up his bed with additional covers to avoid this chore and he stashes his wet underwear in his closet or under his bed. I am at my wit's end...I don't want to be a unsupportive mom, but sometimes I think it bothers me more than it does him. Can anyone tell me what to do next? Ignore it? Put him on medication? Check him for sleeping disorders? Hypnosis? (although his dad will probably not allow that) HELP! I'm beyond frustrated with this situation.
