Bedwetting Alarm
Serious answers only please: Help with son with bedwetting after age 7……?
We are just trying to be encouraging—the peds says he WILL outgrow it. Alarms do nothing. Restricting liquids at bedtime help somewhat. It seems to occur close to morning. We use pull-ups. I notice a homeopathic aid for it, but want to know if anyone has tried this and does it work?!? Any positive suggestions will be appreciated and welcomed. Thanks!
There is a Homeopathic Remedy from Hyland’s Best, the makers of Calms Forte, that is supposed to be great for bedwetting. They are just called Bedwetting Tablets, he would take a couple before bednight, relatively inexpensive, I think around $7 or $8 at places like Wal-mart, Walgreens, CVS pharmacy, I know the Rite-Aid in my town has it. It works by binding liquid so that he can last til morning. I have heard from friends that it has worked for them. With my daughter, I gave her a tablespoon of buckwheat honey (available in most health food stores–you dont want to use commercial honey’s available at regular grocery stores–they’ve been over-processed and health benefits pretty much cooked out of it) right before bed, along with minimizing liquid intake (which, same here, did nothing on its own) which works along the same way 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 washing 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 night 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 glanced through it and it has some great tips.
