My 4y.old wets her bed but only if I take off the diaper. If she wears it she can be dry for weeks. Actually we just took it off on her birthday as she wants to be “a big girl” and she wet twice in 9 days after weeks of being dry 
Any counsel?
Don’t really know what’s up with the diaper on / diaper off issue but I do know that bed-wetting is pretty common in older children. My son (will be four in March) still wets the bed occasionally at night time. Whatever is going on, I would try not to make too big of a deal about it because it will probably only make it worse. I read this article a while ago about older children wetting the bed and it was really helpful in putting things in perspective, it might be helpful:
Thanks for the article, what a relief :biggrin:
Since asking I’ve decided not to put the diaper back on. I get her up at 11 to go potty (before I go to sleep) and she might wake up at 4 again. It was unusually cold in the house then and with heating adjusted she seems to do better.
Dear All,
Below is another article with additional suggestions:
