Marie, I too am a bedwetter and agree with what Rich said. I use cloth diapers and plastic pants every night at home, but use good disposables (Molicares) when traveling. Even a good disposable can leak so I also use plastic pants over that and a bed pad on the sheets. Either way I'll be in plastic pants at night. I don't find cloth diapers and plastic pants to be any hotter or more uncomfortable than disposables, and who cares if they look horrid; they're only worn to bed and no one else will see them. Also don't put too much stock in the psychologist. They always look for psychological causes for problems because that's what they get paid to do. Lots of kids start bedwetting again when going through puberty because of physical changes in their bodies. If your daughter had a growth spurt or some other physical change about the time the bedwetting started, that's a likely cause and it should stop once her body stabilizes.
