I have also tried using an alarm to wake her up every hour to go to the toilet through the night but even then she still wets the bed
Hi – there are a number of treatments available to help your daughter to become dry at night. While conditioning alarms experience the best outcomes, they work a little differently to the approach you describe in your question. Bedwetting alarms work by helping children learn to recognise the need to pass urine and either wake-up and go to the toilet or learn to hold on until morning. Rather than just waking your daughter on the hour (which would lead to disrupted sleep patterns and may in fact contribute to her wetting), the alarm only goes off when your daughter begins to pass urine. Bedwetting alarms come in two main forms. One is a body alarm with a small sensor that can be worn inside your daughter’s underpants or used with DryNites. The second type of alarm is a bell and pad alarm that is placed like a mat over the bottom bed sheet. This is connected to an alarm box placed at the end of your daughter’s bed. Before purchasing a bedwetting alarm it is important that you speak with a continence specialist who will be able to advise you which one is best for your daughter.
Regards,
Dr Cathrine
