Bedwetting alarms are considered the most effective and proven treatments for enuresis in children. Studies show that alarm therapy is one of the most successful treatments for bed wetting problems. Bedwetting alarms consist of a special moisture sensor that is placed in child’s underwear. For added comfort, the alarm unit is attached to child’s upper arm with an armband. Once the child starts urinating, the sensor triggers a bell or buzzer. Though the alarm is designed to awaken the child, it is expected from the parents that they wake up the child and ask him/her to the washroom. In a few weeks, the child becomes conditioned to identify the need for emptying his/her bladder during the night which further learns to stay dry permanently. Here are some tips for using bedwetting alarm correctly. ü A bedwetting alarm is not a guaranteed solution to bedwetting alarm. The key element of the success of the alarm is child’s motivation and recognizing that waking to the sound of the alarm is part of treatment which will eventually help him/her in staying dry throughout the night. Help your child to understand this and make sure s/he is committed to using the alarm. ü Start using the bedwetting alarm with realistic expectations. However, do not expect an overnight miracle. It may take two to three months for a child to get rid of the enuresis problem. ü Discuss with your child what s/he is expected to do when the alarm goes off, like get out of bed, use washroom and change their pants.

It may take the child some months to adjust to the routine. ü In initial few nights, your child may take time to react to the alarm and go to the washroom. Stay prepared for that. You need to be patient while the child as this treatment goes on. If your child wets bed more than once in a night, re-attach the alarm after each wetting episode.
