Of Goodnights and good Nights
Its not what they'e made for but the Always' Underwear (not in underwear section at store) work too. They look like regular pink underwear but have the built in pantyliner that will more than cover the area needed. They are meant for heavy, overnight use. I like these because they let the little one know hey I'm wet! but at the same time pull the moisture away. That way at sleepovers, camping, etc.. its no biggie to shove one in a pocket and go take care of business then just throw lastnites pair away. If she's not "into" the g'nites.
I have twin DS14 that are bedwetters-hormonal imbalance inherited- so I understand your feelings. The alarms did NOT work for us. The loud rude awakening caused them to be very hateful and caused them to be more upset about being bedwetters. They take a pill in the morning when they get up and they try to use the restroom at regular intervals. Another thing that works is to keep them warm at night. I know it sounds odd but its helped at our house. Think back to when your DD was a baby and you changed her..you removed the diaper and cold air hit her and she started wetting..same concept just bigger kiddo's.
Buy extra sheets either all the same or coordinating ones that you can mix and match. I make sure washer is empty at bedtime so if its been a rough nite. My boys strip their beds then toss the sheets in washer. This is not punishment it gives them some privacy about what kind of night they had. Your DD can help you remake her bed. Let her pick the sheets and you can do the parachute thing with the sheets- make it fun "us" time.
Those days when you think you can't handle it.. stop..breathe..take a few minutes to yourself..its ok and will be ok. Just remember they can't help it. Your only stuck with the laundry. Their stuck with all the feelings and the disappointment of just trying to make it one night. Even if nothing criticizing is ever said remember they want more than anything to please us (yeah even when they're using markers on your new couch).
