Pull ups for bed. This is not unusual. They just sleep so hard they don’t wake up. He will out grow it. And it is common in boys. I found that a pull up for boys with this problem is the best
With all it’s such a worrying time like nearly all these comments above. Stop worrying, love them support them. I did everything worried had 3 boys older two trained easily and no issues the third was the test and you worried but about 9/10 just stopped and never wet again. I know it’s hard when everyone says don’t worry it will happen and you just think something must be missing. Only one thing I thort at the e d may have worked was pear juice and ensuring his bowels were not giving pressure. So lots of cuddles and love boys are very affectionate so enjoy that.
My one grandson had that problem. My daughter in law was told to take him to a chiropractor. After just a few visits, the adjustments stop the bed wetting. Just a suggestion.

We took our daughter to toilet before we went to bed around 11pm, no drinks after tea and 2 wees before bed. Once, read, then once again. She was nearly 7 when she stopped too
No drinking after 6 at night or during the night. Make sure you have something on the mattress to protect it.
We used DDAVP NASAL spray on our daughter from 5 till she was 12… She had malformed urinary & kidney conditions with a small bladder. She had no side effects…
Honestly it could be their dreams are so intense its scarey
It could be stress of something specific
Like if this isn’t a normal behavior dont treat it as such
When did this start and has there been any big changes (school/ home)
Maybe even ask him why he thinks he’s wetting the bed
Could have diabetes, wetting the bed was a sign of it, along with be thirsty alot with our daughter
Get him to stop and start his urine flow when he goes to the toilet.It strengthens the bladder muscles.
I would take him for a checkup first to make sure it’s not a medical problem.
Sometimes their bladder hasn’t developed as fast, my grandson does this and DR said he will mature and this will stop, it’s a pain all the cleaning but he will outgrow just got to be patient and use pull-ups and still use the same techniques you are doing now.
Carnt you put him on the potty or toilet when you go to bed to see how it goes after a few time s
Our 8 y/o daughter was as well. The urologist recommended Miralax daily as she was an e/o day pooper. We did that along with making sure she goes to the bathroom at school. One incident since January. Good luck!
My sons pediatrician prescribed a nasal spray. Worked great
my son is 8 and he still bed wets. I have noticed its either too much sugar during the day or he sleeps too deeply.
A handful of raisins before bed. My grandma told me when I was growing up that it would work and it did.
Has anyone used the alarms with success? I’m patient but my son has spoken up that he wants to try something to help.
Should get his kidneys checked there is a neural tube leads to the bladder sometimes that causes a lot of band wedding in young children and adults if not found
Try eliminating milk . Worked with my son . Overnight
Could have neurological or physical cause, such as overactive bladder.
Also, could be triggered by any emotional trauma, such as divorce or a death, or a change, such as moving.
Get him up at 11 and put him on the toilet. He won’t even wake up. We did that for our four.
Have you gone to the doctor? My cousin had a similar problem and had to get her son checked for diabetes.
Have you checked he doesn’t have a uti? Only time my daughter wets.
As soon as I took my son off of all sugar, white flour, milk, artificial coloring and additives, the bed wetting stopped.
Glad I’m not the only one. My daughter just turned 7 and still wets the bed…everyone looks at me all crazy when I say she still wears a diaper to bed!
Ask a doctor??Could be anxiety,dreams,heavy sleeping,bladder?
Believe it or not it could be a bowel issue. Look into it.
I would love to be able to give you an answer but my daughter wet the bed till she was 16 we tried everything and i mean everything and then one day she just stopped
Sometimes a simple chiropractic adjustment fixes it.
Poor kiddo I remember the humiliation sleep overs and mean " friends" but I will say this…it builds character 
prayers it’s no physical issues and prayers for patience and laundry soap 
Try reducing the time for the last drink
I wet the bed until I was like 9. 
I would be woken up every night to use the washroom as well, and just one day I stopped. My mom put garbage bags under the sheets lol
When I was kid my mom finally took me to a Dr. And there was nothing physically wrong never figured it out. I was put on some nose squirt medication and it worked. I am 39 no health problems…in case you are wondering about possible side effects.
Be patient. Child will grow out of it when child is ready.
We still get our nearly 7 year old son up at 3am to pee
Got my son a pack of Spiderman underwear. Told him he couldn’t wet those. That did it.
Don’t give them any drinks after 6 o’clock xx
Chiropractic adjustment and I believe there’s a homeopathic remedy that may help as well.
Some kids just pee the bed 
Eventually they grow out of it
Boy or girl? Usually boys have this issue when older. They grow out of it. Meanwhile use potty pads for the night on the bed and large diapers . I went thru this and it’s not fun and very frustrating.

Discuss kidney reflux with your pediatrician to rule it out it runs in my family
It could be a genetic thing or it could be a medical thing. They may just outgrow it or you may need to take them into the doctor depending on if it has happened to anyone in prior generations. If it has I would ask them what they did about it or if they just outgrew it
Talk to your pedi. There’s medication to help with that.
It’s very possible that he may be constipated

Take him to a kidney specialist he may he may have weak bladder.
He may just have a small bladder.
Have you got him checked to see if he is constipated see your gp to get him checked out
See his Dr its probably not in his control
Chiropractic adjustment.
Nerve endings do not finish growing in the bladder until around age 14. We took my daughter to the doc and they checked for everything, that turned out to be the reason. Nothing could be done but wait it out and not make a big deal out of it so we didn’t traumatize her for life lol.

Some boys tend to wet bed for no fault of their own…it has something to do with their hormones and once they reach a certain age and that kicks in they stop wetting the bed…I fought this for yrs…tooky don to specialists thinking he was doing for attention or spite or on purpose…I finally let go and stopped punishing him bc drs said he was t doing for those reasons it was beyond his control…they were right ? St a certain age, weight it automatically stopped,!!!
Nothing, there’s literally nothing you can do but wait it out until he stops. In the meantime, protect everything… Waterproof house entire mattress… Make him wear night time pull ups, restrict liquids a couple of hours before bed. Make him drink more water, make sure his bowls stay moving, and pray. That’s it. Anything more and you’ll just frustrate yourself and the situation. I’m in the same exact boat with my 10 year old!!! I’ve tried it all and nothing works! Doctors says it’s probably just hereditary on dad’s side of the family. She’s in night time pull ups now and I’m just waiting it out.

My brother had the same problem , my mum took him to the doctor and turns out the part of the brain that needs to wake you up to go to the toilet didn’t wake him up. He slept to deep. He got pills and after a few months it was gone. I’d say take him to the dr just to make sure there is no medical reason behind this and if there isn’t just wait it out. I am lucky to say that both my boys has never wet the bed , they are both still young so we do have rules like no drinks past 7pm ect. And I leave the bathroom light on for them incase their scared to go in the dark.
I peed the bed till 13. Come to find out, my bladder is smaller than the average bladder. Give him time and maybe see a doctor to be sure it isn’t medical related to be sure.
Stop putting so much pressure on him, accept that for whatever reason his body isn’t ready yet and that is ok.

Have you taken him to see Dr ?
Yeah. Id take him to his doctor. That suggests bladder or kidney issues. Also, i realize i don’t know the family, but suddenly bedwetting in a child who hasn’t had this problem before, can be a sign of mistreatment(molestation).
(I hate to be that person, but I know the signs, having seen them in myself and one of my own children)

Underware first, then the diaper. it worked within days!!!
Try the bed wetting alarm
Many times it’s the child’s body that is not ready yet.
My sister runs a daycare and she shared these with us for our then 6 year old, they are wonderful. It reduced our stress and his after about a month and a half of using them he just stopped.
Could be his bladder isn’t matured yet…the pull ups is a good idea…

Ugh. I wet the bed alot when I was around that age and I always felt terrible and embarrassed. My mom ended up putting a cut garbage bag across my mattress every night, and always making sure I had an extra clean sheet there ready so I could get up clean myself up in the bathroom with wash cloths… then get back in bed myself without having to wake her up every night. Eventually it stopped
My word gender doesn’t matter it all has to do with their bladders some kids just wet the bed later than others pull ups and sheet covers. It can sometimes be medical but usually they grow out of it. Some kids also are just deeper sleepers and they don’t wake up and it has nothing to do with their bladder. They just don’t realise they have to because there often dreamland or there having a dream about peeing.
We used pull ups with my son. He grew out of it eventually.

I was a bed wetter as a kid. The way I got over it was drinking a lot and holding my pee until I couldn’t hold it any longer. All it took was one time. Never happened again.
My 9 year old just stopped wetting the bed… boys have a harder time controlling it because of their longer urethra… my youngest son is 8 and still in pull ups and his 3 year old sister isn’t
Do they have allergies? If they do and its not controlled it can cause bed wetting
Try new, very nice pyjamas? Also nothing that involves liquids for dinner (soups, etc…)

Pediatrician! There may be something wrong
What a great happiness to me and my relationship I was in relationship for 8 good years no sex with my lover so my lover decided to leave me and follow another woman 
so we break up for 1 month when I came across with this man called Dr omom, I explain everything to him. When he just tell me to wait for 2 hours so I wait after waiting my lover just called me and started apologize to me everything he did so if you need help you can also reach him on this page 
Bedwetting is still very common for that age, as frustrating as that is for we parents. If you’ve spoken to his doctor and his doctor isn’t concerned, I wouldn’t worry about it. Speaking from experience, I would avoid a reward-based system unless you want to be woken up at both 1 AM and 3 AM for three drops of pee and a demand of the reward.
Consider having him tested for diabetes. I’m type 1 diabetic and wet the bed until I was like 7/8 due to poor control.

This can also happen because of trauma, they regress. I would check that route too.

Sometimes it’s just normal to wet the bed🤷🏼♀️ especially for boys. I know someone who wet the bed until he was 16. Didn’t have diabetes and it got less common as he got older.
Some kids are such deep sleepers that this happens, but if you haven’t already, definitely speak to your family doctor. It could be an endocrine or urinary problem, or it could be he’s scared of going to the bathroom in the dark or by himself
Try giving a reward. Like his favourite treat for every night he doesn’t wet the bed. This will train his mind to wake up if he needs to go during the night.
My son had that issue as well. He eventually grew out of it. We had tests of all kinds done and some kids just wet the bed. Just keep extra sheets handy, and have a waterproof mattress protector and hopefully it’ll sort is self out shortly.
Also had this occur. I used pull ups for awhile it stop at about age 7 1/2
I understand it’s a chemical in the brain that tells you when to wake up to go. Talk to his pediatrician about this, because it’s not his fault and he has no control over it. It sounds like you’re doing all good things! I would just get the pediatrician’s input, too, if you haven’t already.

You can’t actually learn to hold your wee overnight. It’s a hormonal thing, you body releases a hormone which basically tells your body that you are sleeping and not to wee!
I would make an appointment with their GP to discuss this and ask for a referral to a paediatric urologist
