How To Stop Bed-wetting In A Child?

My daughter is 11 and has always wet the bed. She rarely ever goes a night without wetting. She has tried DDAVP and it did not help at all. We have gone through periods of using alarms, waking her up, and her doctor said there is nothing we can do but wait until she grows out of it. She is skipping overnight trips and sleepovers with friends constantly, what else can we do?

Hi

I would suggest you the following

1. Try double voiding technique: Immediately before going to bed, instruct her to void twice at interval of 10 minutes between. This will ensure complete emptying of bladder and prevent bed wetting

2. Restrict intake of fluids during evening
