Serious answers simply please: Help beside son near bedwetting after age 7...?
We are just trying to be encouraging---the peds says he WILL outgrow it. Alarms do zilch. Restricting liquids at bedtime help somewhat. It seem to occur close to morning. We use pull-ups. I notice a homeopathic aid for it, but want to know if anyone have tried this and does it work?!? Any positive suggestions will be appreciated and welcomed. Thanks!
Answers: There is a homeopathic remedy from Hyland's Best, the makers of Calms Forte, i.e. supposed to be great for bedwetting. They are just called Bedwetting Tablets, he would run a couple before bednight, relatively inexpensive, I think around $7 or $8 at places resembling Wal-mart, Walgreens, CVS pharmacy, I know the Rite-Aid in my town has it. It works by binding gooey so that he can last til morning. I have hear from friends that it has worked for them. With my daughter, I gave her a tablespoon of buckwheat honey (available contained by most health food stores--you dont want to use commercial honey's available at regular grocery stores--they've been over-processed and form benefits pretty much cooked out of it) right before bed, along with minimizing fluid intake (which, same here, did nothing on its own) which works along the same path as the bedwetting tablets. I'm going to try and find a link that it explains how the honey works, I'll edit as soon as I can find one =) Good luck, I know how frustrating wash sheets or buying pull-ups can be when you have to do it for this long. I started my daughter on the honey when she was 6 and did almost every dark until she finally outgrew the problem around the time she turned 8.
ETA: I did find this link to a free e-book, it will come right up on the page so you don't even have to download it, I glance through it and it has some great tips.

The boys have this problem more repeatedly than girls. You also need to watch out what kind of drinks your son gets during day time and how much he drinks. I be convinced that aerated sodas was doing this more than plain water or 100% juice. It is difficult to take away the sodas from child of that age, specially during summers. I restricted the amount ( a big battle), also time like no sodas after 2:00pm, water/juice one and only etc. It helped a little. I will draw from up in the middle of night, get him to the bathroom, in his sleep he will empty himself. So, no showery bed in the morning. Many adults regularly get up to dance to the bathroom in the middle of the night. Once the kids shift to sleep, they don't wake up until they are fully rested.
I don't know about the homeopathic prescription. If you choose to use it, make sure he is passing out impossible to tell apart amount of liquid. I was chatting beside a first grader who was annoyed with his parents because they kept trying remedy after remedy. He be so afraid he would wet the bed and disappoint them that he was developing insomnia!
Cover the matress next to a waterproof cover.
Buy three sets of linens, including the under-sheet pad.
Teach him how to conversion his bed, including washing off the mattress cover. Teach him how to use the washer and dryer, and hold him wash and dry the linens. From then on, it's not your problem. He have the tools and the supplies to fix it himself.
This method makes him feel smaller quantity helpless, and less like a problem for you.
We tried adjectives of those things too. A pediatric urologist put my son on DDAVP nose spray, which reduces the production of urine at darkness. It's been years now so I can't remember the exact length of time he be on it, but from what I do remember it wasn't too terribly long. He had a small bladder and be an extremely heavy sleeper, so this helped. I be just reading something on this medication. I don't believe they have the nasal spray any more, but still hold it in pill form. Hi momo. The following conditions need to be ruled-out as the CAUSE of the problem:
1) Milk/dairy allergy
2) Wheat/gluten allergy (especially the severe form call Celiac Disease)
3) Spinal subluxations in the lumbar spine, sacrum and pelvis (see your family Chiropractor for a thorough evaluation).
Best wishes and moral luck.
yes , homeopathy works provided u do ur own research and get the right medicine.
near is something that has created fear surrounded by ur childs mind. remove that fear. make him devour alot of coconuts.
trust him, make him more responsible.
make him marry some activity like tennis or badminton or basketball.
dont tolerate him drink anything or eat anything liquidy like fruit roughly speaking 2 hours before bed time. if he takes nap during the day then perchance he wont have such a deep sleep at darkness... you could definately have him wash the sheets himself a few times.
