Bed-wetting Alarms and How They Work
Bed-wetting alarms are among the most effective and safest bed-wetting treatments. Studies show alarm therapy is often successful with children over age 7.
With bed-wetting alarms, a special moisture sensor placed in the child’s pajamas triggers a bell or buzzer to go off at the start of urination. The alarm is designed to awaken the child so they can get to the toilet and finish urinating. In the first few weeks of use, however, it is usually a parent who is awakened by the alarm and wakes the child to use the bathroom.
If the alarm is used nightly and the wake-up routine is continued, your child will likely begin to wake up to the alarm within 4 to 6 weeks. Within 12 weeks, your child will likely be getting up on their own to go to the bathroom or hold their urine until morning.
Once your child stays dry through the night for 3 weeks, you should continue using the alarm for another 2 weeks and then stop. If your child starts to wet the bed again, you can repeat the process. Usually, it takes about 12 weeks of continued trying for this process to work. It is not a quick fix.
