Bedwetting is the problem. My son is 11 years old and will be 12 years old in a few months. He is a very heavy sleeper. A freight car could go through his room and he'd sleep right through it. He has never had a sleep over due to the fact I do not want him to be embarrass from his peers that he still wets the bed.

I've been told by one medical doctor to wake him up in the middle of the night to bring him to the bathroom (sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn't - I don't have a full night's sleep). He also stated that he will grow out of it. Another medical doctor told me that I wasn't helping him by taking on the responsibility of waking him up during the night, so I stopped (nothing has changed). Another medical doctors said that he needs to drink a lot of water throughout the day to help exercise his stomach muscles (again, nothing has changed). I even tried to bribe him by offering a treat at the end of the week. If he was dry he could get an ice cream, small toy, etc., and if he wanted a bigger treat he could save up the weeks til the end of the month. The larger treats were like going to the movie of his choice, restaurant, etc. This worked for about 1 month then stopped.

I suppervise daily his liquid intake, especially carbinated beverages where he is allowed a small one a couple of times a week and it has to be before 7 p.m.

I'm confused and at a loss. What has worked for you???
