Bob. If you read my long post on here, you will see that waking up a child or using bedwetting alarms doesn't always work. I think all parents want to try the utmost to help their children get dry at night, and I think most parents try too. But sometimes (like in our case) it just doesn't work! Some children are very deep sleepers and just won't wake up even if they have an alarm and it doesnt help even if their parents take them to the bathroom. But luckily most children do grow out of the bedwetting as their bodies mature. That's what happened in my eldest son's case.
