We live in London and my son (now 10 yo) has been dry at night for nearly a year.
I was at my wit’s end. We had tried everything including a very primitive version of the alarm – the kind you clip to the underwear and 50% of the mornings he was waking up sodden – the nappy couldn’t even contain the volume of urine.
In an act of desperation I bought Dr. Sagie’s alarm. I had no faith it would work. I think there were a couple reasons it did work so quickly.
Firstly the alarm is very sensitive.
Secondly just that act of listening to Dr. Sagie initially and then on a bi-weekly basis I think really made something click in my son’s brain. He finally understood what he was supposed to be doing because Dr. Sagie calmly explained it and the progress metrics to him rather than his stressed-out mum! Somehow he managed to be able to make that connection between his brain and his body too.
We had a couple of accidents in those first few weeks and then it was smooth sailing! Of course we completed the 12-week course. He has had one accident in the last year and I know why that might have been so it didn’t raise any red flags.
