my 5 1/2yr old son is still wetting almost every night and I've long since given up worrying about it. I have a waterproof sheet on, a fitted sheet and a fleece blanket, and I can change it in the dark and have it washed, dried and back on in the evening (without a tumble drier I might add!). The bigger fuss you make about it the more of a problem it can become. Nicole's right - it isn't uncommon at all, just not often discussed!

one caveat though. If you're concerned, just take her to your doctor and check that there are no physical problems. Doesn't sound like it though - my son's the same... heavy sleeper and small bladder.

best thing you can do for yourself is streamline the bedding so that it isn't something that gets you frustrated, or that will come across to your daughter and make the problem worse!

oh yes, your doctor will be able to tell you what's available as a next measure if you ever get too concerned. There are things that go bleep in the night in response to wetness which is supposed to train them to stay dry. There are options, but I really don't think it's worth worrying about yet, as long as you rule out physical problems.

Kerri.
