Comments from the

After years of treating children with bedwetting, I noticed that the same parental questions and concerns kept occurring. Parents worried that they did something to contribute to the bedwetting or that there was something "wrong" with their child. Sometimes embarrassment kept them from seeking treatment until their child was much older, or well-meaning advice suggesting that they needed to wait "until their child grew out of it" delayed treatment. In my book, Seven Steps to Nighttime Dryness, I have outlined easy steps for families to follow in their quest for dryness. These are the same steps that I use successfully in my practice for treating children with bedwetting. The extensive question and answer section provides sought after advice for parents. This book is an essential companion when using any bedwetting alarm.

This is a great partner to an alarm I read this book very quickly marking and underlining as I read. My 15 yr. old son is a type one diabetic with developmental delays. To my surprise, this book dealt with these issues! We started using the alarm in July, 2011. He has been consistantly dry for 23 nights in a row. The last nine nights we have used the alarm every other night while staying dry each night. We have 5 nights to go before we will not need to use the alarm any more. It has been so wonderful not to change sheets in the middle of the night. He is waking ON HIS OWN to use the bathroom when needed at night. I learned so many facts and details as to why my son was a bedwetter. I would never have understood all that I do now without this book. mrsrockinrev Couldn't have done it without the book As a Family Physician, I have recommended the potty alarms to children with enuresis for many years. Now I have a child with enuresis, and I would have had NO IDEA what to really expect before reading this book. It's very practical and easy to read. It's easy to implement the suggestions. A nice nightly progress chart is even included. We're not done yet but well on our way. cabmd Must read for Family Practicioners! Book is easily understood and made me feel confident that is wasn't something that I was doing wrong as a parent. Slogger1 Read the Book Read this book before you put the alarm in to use. Very helpful in understanding and answers questions about bedwetting. Bedwetting boy I didn't believe it would actually work! Oh my goodness! My 8 year old son was starting to really suffer psychologically from his bedwetting. He had become aware of the stigma attached and I could see his self confidance falling (2nd graders are tougher than I ever would have thought). On the recommendation of his Pediatrician and his own readiness to try something, we tried it.

The first few nights were AWFUL! The alarm is loud and very disturbing. He was panicking, I was panicking, I wasn't falling back asleep b/c my body was pumped full of adrenaline and panicking that the alarm would go off again...(we are noise sensitive)...then all of a sudden, he went down to 1 episode at night, then one night he had a dream of being in a swimming pool and not being able to get out (that was a wonderful chance to tell him that it was working and his brain was trying to wake him up).

THE REALLY GOOD NEWS is that 3 weeks later, he has had 4 DRY NIGHTS!!!! He is even waking up to go to the bathroom on his own! and his self confidance has jumped back up to where it had been and even beyond! He is so happy, I am so happy... Another plus is he is waking up more rested than before!

The downsides are that we both started blocking out the one alarm and we needed to switch to one of the noisier sounds. I am glad I chose the changeable model with vibration...we needed to be able to change sounds and even be able to choose which alarm to set it to...I played them and he decided which was too scary and which might be just right! another downside is that it really was disturbing at night and took all my parenting skills to remain calm, upbeat, positive...

I am just so happy with this and so amazed that it really does work!!! cp Good book Definitely buy this book if you are going to be using a bedwetting alarm. It walks you through the steps in order to achieve dryness quickly. It also includes weekly progress charts which were instrumental in keeping track of progress and encouraging the child. My 6-year-old son was dry after only 4 nights! Amy Helpful information Purchased this book along with an alarm for our 5 year old boy, who had never had a dry night! We have been following the steps for 3 weeks now and we have had 2 totally dry nights, and he has been doing wonderful with the help of the alarm. He is also very proud of himself and happy to be wearing underwear to bed. I am so happy that I purchased this book and alarm. Finally Dry Very helpful book, buy it when you START I purchased the book after my son used the alarm for four months and was still having trouble. I wish I had it from the beginning, I think it would have helped us greatly.

I found most interesting the food suggestions. Our doctor didn't discuss these at all. My son is the biggest milk drinker in the world and after dinner, frequently eats cheese or yogurt to fill himself up. Now I learn that so much dairy can impact his ability to stay dry! Get the book at the beginning, it may save you some headaches and heartaches. Queen LaShoppa Provided a lot of insight. My daughter will be 6 next month and had never had a dry night. She was very motivated to learn so after researching, we decided to purchase the alarm and book combo. Last night was the 14th night to use the alarm and her very 1st dry night!
The book provides great detail about enuresis Sweet Momma J Vert Informative, Helpful info. on alarm Very organized and informative. Explains causes of bedwetting. Compares pros and cons of several different alarm systems (aids in selection). Tracking chart at the end of the book is better than what comes with the Malem alarm system. Troubleshooting section is nice. More in depth information about how to start and when to finish using the alarm than what comes with the Malem alarm. Read it before I started using the alarm for our 6 yr. old son. Found the information very helpful. (The alarm works, too! It is our third week and our son has been dry sleeping through the night for 8 consecutive days. He never even had 8 nights in total dry in his entire life. He is so proud of himself. That is the best.) Dawn the P.T.
