Problem with bedwetter going to friends house?

Question

Our child is going on a weekend sleepover. But he wets his bed just about every night. We is 11. At home we wake him up and take him to the bathroom at night or else he will pee his pants. So he needs to be taken to the bathroom. But how do I have this done at his friends house so he is not found out by the other kids?

Answer 1

simple, just tape the pull up ino his boxers, and so all he has to do is slip the boxers on and in the morning say he has to go to the bathroom, like all the other guys, thenhe can just throw it away, or he can just keep it on until u pick him up, which will proably on be a half an hour from when he wakes up.

Answer 2

My brother does the same thing. When he goes to a friends my mom tells the friends parents, and asks them to keep it confidental. My brother goes in the bathroom when they are getting their pajamas on and puts on a boxer goodnight and they look just like underwear. but it ubsorbs the pee.

Answer 3

Have you figuerd out why this is happening to begin with?  But have him bring a small alarm clock and go to the bathroom overnight a couple times, and limit drinks, no liquid after 7pm.  But if you haven't had him seen by a doc, which I'm sur eyou have, then you need to.

Answer 4

i had that same problem as a kid i would wet the bed all the time. all you need to do is have him put on pull ups under his pajamas and the other kids wont even have a clue about it.

Answer 5

have him bring a cell phone with an alarm on it and set it every couple of hours in the night....have him put it right besidse him so he will wake up to use the restroom

Answer 6

Sounds like he needs to visit the doctor.  He may have an immature sphincter that does not close when he is in a deep sleep and relaxes.

Short term solution for the overnight visit is to have him take his cell phone and you set up the alarms for him.  Stop all liquids at 4:00 p.m. Eliminate diuretics completely- that means soda pop. Take his own sleeping bag in a big plastic bag- in case something happens-it can be sealed up.  Practice all of this before the big sleepover.  It is good that he at least takes responsibility for the problem.  I do not believe in any punishment what so ever when someone has a bladder problem but I do believe in having my child pull the sheets off at home, take them down to the laundry, wipe up the plastic under the sheets, and make the bed again.  My eldest stopped at 9 y.o. but she could do all of this by 7 y.o.  The second child stopped now at 14.  The two younger ones have never had this problem at all.

Hope this helps.  It is frustrating and hard for the child.  Do not punish, just have them take care of themselves.

Answer 7

he can wear pullups

Answer 8

Depends......they are for overnight accidents (and your child is absolutely not the only one with this problem) Depends (or a generic fact similar) will be a great boon to both yourself and to you child's self esteem (by not having to wake to a wet bed). They can be worn under PJs and are pretty much unnoticeable. WalMart's brand is about $9 for a 20 pack. Even if he does not do a sleep-over he will benefit.

This can be a heridary problem, my dad had the problem till his late teens as did I and now my grandson. My daughter took my grandson to a doctor and with the aid of a pill (and the saftey of Depends) he was able to stop bed-wetting in his early teens.

I know what your son is going thru and I can guess what you are going thru as well.....I hope for him it ends soon

Answer 9

if he still wets the bed then he shouldnt even be going to sleep overs!!!!

the alarm on the cell phone is a good idea but the other kids will be mad they woke them up.

Answer 10

I have a 9 year old step daughter that wears big kid pull ups to sleep, just incase, at sleep overs and camp. Then send them with a walmart plastic bag to throw it away the next morning without anyone knowing.

If he ties the bag up and put it into the trash, no one will know what was in it.

It is about $15 for big kid sizes.

Answer 11

There is only one way without his friends knowing... he would need to wear those good night pull ups. Hopefully they wont find out about it. If he doesn't wear them, then he would be embarrassed if he had an accident, kids are cruel and will tease.

what does your son think? Is he comfortable about sleeping over? is he prepared to take in the teasing? If he doesn't want to wear the pull ups, then maybe you can explain to him that maybe it's not a good time for him to sleep over any ones house until he has his bladder under control. You must explain to him that it is not his fault that he has accidents, his bladder may not be fully developed, tell him that there is allot of boy's his age that goes through this and it's something that will get better in time.
