Bedwetting can greatly damage child self-esteem and confidence. The journey to dry nights might be a long and frustrating for both parents and children, but with proper support and right solution like a bed alarm for kids, it might be resolved from a few weeks to a few months.

When you hear nocturnal enuresis for the first time, it may sound to you like a disease, but it's not. Best known as bedwetting, this condition is a symptom of underlying disease in only 1% of children, but it doesn't mean that children who wet the bed can control it, or that they're doing it on purpose.

The reasons for bedwetting vary: from bladder infections and constipation to stressors such as a change in the family, a new home or problems in school. It also can be inherited – many children who wet their bed have parents who did that too. But the majority of enuretics (90%) have neither anatomical nor psychological problems, but the primary source of this issue lays in an unusually deep sleep.

If you have a child over the age of six who is wetting the bed, and you think that you've already tried everything wondering if there is any help. One treatment that has helped many children is a bed wetter alarm.

Bedwetting alarms can help teach a child's body to better respond to a full bladder and help break the deep sleep patterns that are usual for this behaviour.

An electronic bed alarm for bedwetting sounds an alert immediately when the child begins to urinate. They are designed to train children brains to react to their full bladders by awakening. Bedwetter alarm "senses" moisture with the first urine drops and sounds a high-pitched alarm, waking the child up. The main idea is that a feeling of full bladder replaces the sound of the alarm in a child's brain. In that way, the child will wake up on time to go and visit the toilet.

Bed wetting alarm therapy is actually a type of behavioural treatment.

This type of alarm has a moisture sensor in the form of a pad placed beneath the child. The sensors in the pad detect moisture and trigger alarm sound. Some of these sensory pads are waterproof, so you don't need to place an extra waterproof pad on the bed. The pads have an industrial guarantee so they can withstand wash after wash. Being totally detached from your child's body, this is a good option for kids that don't like wearing alarms and is recommended for restless sleepers.

However, parent

s need to be ready to assist and support their child on this important journey. You need to start the treatment when your child is willing and ready for it.

A wearable alarm has a moisture sensing device which is connected to the alarm machine by a cord. The alarm box is usually attached to the shoulder of a child's sleepwear, and the sensor cord is run under the pyjamas down to the underwear where the moisture sensor is attached to detect the wetting. Wired alarms might be well priced, and are more suitable for young children who are not embarrassed to wear them.

If your child doesn't wear pyjamas due to hot climate or personal preference, you'll need to attach the alarm to the bedding and that might be problematic. If your child is a restless sleeper their tossing and turning may pull the cord out of the alarm box and disconnect it.

The wireless alarm is the newest technology in bed wetting alarms. It has the separate alarm unit which can be placed on the bedside furniture or plugged directly into a wall socket and a sensor that goes to directly inside the underwear with no wires. Wireless alarms are usually more expensive than wearable ones, and they are good for deep sleepers as there are no wires. It's a good fit for older children who don't like anyone seeing them wearing the alarm. Being placed remotely on the bedside, a child has to get up to turn it off and that way the sleeping pattern is easier to break.

Comfort might be an issue with wireless alarms if your child likes sleeping on his tummy as having the sensor attached to the underwear can feel uncomfortable.

Even though the first few weeks of using the alarm may cause many sleepless nights for both parents and children, saying goodbye to your child's wet bed forever is worth all the sacrifice.
