How do I get a 5 year old to stop wetting the bed?

Poor guy. He’s probably sleeping through it. My friend’s son is also five- he was dry around 3.5-4.5 years but then started sleeping through it. He would get so worn out during the day that he would go into a really deep sleep. Unfortunately with a case like that, there is nothing you can do. Waking them up in the middle of the night can sometimes help, but that makes them more tired during the day, and they’ll often wet the bed before you wake them (if you wake them at 1 am or so) because their body is overcompensating for their exhaustion. She uses Goodnites on her son. He now wakes up once he’s wet them and goes and changes it himself and finishes peeing in the toilet. The feeling of the wetness is enough now to wake him from his semi-coma, lol. You should always talk to his pediatrician about medical issues, but it’s likely this is something he’ll just have to grow out of. Try the goodnites, she says she’s not had to clean wet sheets in the 3 months since she’s been using them on him. He was resistant at first but really prefers them to waking up soaked and smelling like pee. Now he just changes a wet one at night for a dry one, and goes back to bed. In the morning, he gets rinsed off in the shower and the problem is solved.
