You don't: Many children wet the bed up to age 11. They do outgrow it. Usually there is a first degree relative (mom dad, aunt, uncle etc) who wet the bed late. The oldest treatment is still the best...A bed wetting alarm. You can discuss with your doctor limited use of ddavp (desmopressin)...Antidiuretic hormone. I will prescribe it for sleepovers and camps but do not like it for regular use.
