Chances are at least one of his friends is in the same boat. My best friend as a child also wet his bed until he was in his teen. It was before goodnites were out so we just used sleeping bags or since i had a full sized bed just dealt with very wet sheets in the morning.

Hi

I know from your previous post that your son tried pull ups but that they were not always absorbent enough and that he is better with a more absorbent nappy/diaper type protection. Of course that can be difficult to put on when at a sleepover. So perhaps this might work - how about he puts a pull up inside his sleeping bag and then when he gets into it he could slip into his pull up, and no one will notice.Perhaps also this is also an occasion when the Desmopressin might help a bit. Like you I did not want to rely on medication long term but I do still occasionally use the Desmopressin if I need to be doubly sure of a dry night when for example staying with friends. Perhaps your son could try this at home beforehand so that it builds his confidence before the sleepover. Good luck.

Hi
If he feels not going is the best thing then that is what he should do.
The stress of worrying about having an accident and his friends finding out he has a bedwetting problem would make for a rough night and pretty much guarantee an accident.
I use to do the I can come over for awhile but cant sleepover because we are doing something in the morning and at least he can enjoy part of the fun with his friends.

I have discovered that bedwetting is directly linked to sleep disorder breathing. If you son snores, mouth breathes, grindes his teeth, wakes to a destroyed bed he should have a sleep evaluation. I am not a doctor, but I am a reformed mother that once thought my son's issues were bad behavior, poor table manners, laziness, and bed wetting.

My medical practitioner suggested me to use DryBuddys bedwetting alarm for my 7 yrs old daughter who has been suffering from serious bed wetting issue. With no hope, I purchased this product, though it was little tricky at the beginning my daughter she got used to DryBuddys bed wetting alarm. It did no harm to her, she was very comfortable with this products and I could see changes in my daughters bed wetting problem. She is completely out of her bedwetting issues now, but it took almost 18 months for her to get out of this problem. A huge thanks to DryBuddys bed wetting alarm for answering my prayers!!

That last post send suspiciously like an ad.

i never go to sleepovers because i pee the bed

It’s now a long time ago that this post was written but I hope you could find a good solution for your son.
My daughter has this mouth breathing issue too and we found a good solution with her using a pacifier. I know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea but it works and that is what counts.

i dont go to sleepovers for the same reason.

My boys enjoy sleepovers but they only go to very close family friends that are aware of there issue and are willing to help them get there diapers on.
