@grace_deacon Oh that’s awesome! Did his stopping correspond with puberty? We’re hoping that resolves our situation

@leonel24 Oh wow. Why do you think it stopped?

@clucas91 Thanks! Yes I’ve seen the stats and they’re really helpful. Sometimes it’s helpful to chat with other parents who’ve been here before.

@gabbys I feel you. We’re not trying to stress over it either. Was just hoping it would be over but now. My wife’s brother wet the bed routinely until he was 15 and he’s completely healthy so I know it’s a thing

@mommabee68 Oh and you’re 100% correct on not saying anything. He’s reached a point where he won’t try to hide it (he went through that around age 9-10) but he does have a habit of not saying anything

@mommabee68 You make a very good point! Professionals told us it’s normal so we should accept that. It can still be difficult not knowing or talking to anyone about it. Thanks for your experience

@dorcas_12 Thanks! It’s good to know that we’re not alone and others have walked this path. Without talking to people (because it’s not exactly something people want to talk about), it has a way of feeling like he’s the only 12-year-old to wet the bed.

@dorcas_12 Good point. I should have been more clear. Yes, DDAVP does work while he’s using it (with the occasional mishap). It’s just not a long term solution, that’s all.

@carrollpiruith Yeah, your comment really is super helpful. Honestly, just the reassurance that we’re not the only ones out there with this problem is enough. Thank you!

@sikhajain Exactly what we’re counting on…that it resolves itself

@johnscurry That might be something to look into! They did a blood test, but I don’t remember the doc looking for a vitamin deficiency.

@shmuel7 Thanks so much for the detailed response! Your story sounds a LOT like ours. Ups and downs the whole way through. Thanks for the encouragement

My son is twelve and wets the bed constantly. I thought it would start to slow down by now, but there doesn’t seem to be an end in sight. He’s been to his pediatrician and urologist and everything checks out: he’s completely healthy. We’ve tried DDAVP, alarms, checked out constipation, and did a...
