Bedwetting is fun for no one. Children find it embarrassing. Parents find it messy, inconvenient and sometimes upsetting.

This problem is more common than you might think and our members have come up with some helpful tips on encouraging your child to be dry at night.

Remember to let us know if you have any more advice.

Less laundry
'I have twin girls at 6 years old and they both wet the bed. I use the special pants that you can buy, if you weigh up how much laundry they save you it is definitely worth it.'

'What we did was wake her to go to the toilet as we were going to bed. Although she was reluctant to get up, she did. Never did we use the pants you are talking about, but we do have a mattress protector. She has been fine for about 8 months now.'

We have lots of free copies of Dr Xargle's Earthlet Book Of Sleepovers to give away. A charming story written by Jeanne Willis and illustrated by Tony Ross. Produced in association with Drynites Pyjama Pants it also serves as a useful aid to parents of children with bedwetting problems.
