Amy it sure sounds like you tried all the right and reasonable solutions. I had the same problem as a child my mom tried the same things and then some still wet every night at 13 ½ years old. I didn’t start having dry nights until 8th grade. I feel bad when I see any kid go through it I know how they feel. Some bed wetting runs in my family it affects about 1 out of 3 children after age 6 on my mother’s side. Contrary to popular belief us girls seem to have it worse in our family they are twice as likely to wet the bed and they wet till older also. It didn’t bother that much when I was younger but after around age 13 I was very self-conscious about it all through junior high. Most kids do outgrow bed-wetting though I continued to have occasional accidents till I was almost 16 years old. I am sure they will both out grow it with time. I wish for you the best Stephanie :)
