How old?: How old is your son? Is this primary or secondary enuresis, meaning has he ever had period of 1 month or more without any accidents? About 15% of 5 y/o and 5% of 10 y/o still wet the bed. Typically do nothing until about 8 y/o. Potty alarm clock has shown to be effective. Although there are daily medications that can be used, it is not favored in general.
