Cure Bedwetting

Step 4:
Look at "interruptive" methods
Interruptive methods wake up the bedwetter so he or she can use the bathroom and go back to bed. There are a couple of ways to do this.
Night-lifting. This procedure has the parents wake the child at regular intervals, escort him or her to the bathroom to urinate, and then walk the child back to bed. It helps the child get used to waking, going to the bathroom, and emptying the bladder one to three times during the night, so that with enough practice, the procedure becomes an independent habit.
Moisture alarms. These are considered an effective way to treat bedwetting and consist of a sound or vibratory alarm attached to a sensor that attaches to bedclothes. When the sensor detects just a drop of moisture, the alarm goes off, allowing the child to wake up and finish urinating in the bathroom. If the child is sleeping too deeply to hear the alarm, a parent may need to listen for the alarm, wake up the child, and escort him or her to the bathroom. Modern moisture alarms range from $40 to $80 (U.S.).
