After years of changing wet sheets in the middle of the night and purchasing hundreds of dollars worth of night time underwear products, my child is pull-up free and DRY all night long! Dr. Sagie’s encouraging videos combined with the assigned therapeutic exercises brought relief to both my child and me. I really appreciate how simple the system is, allowing my child to take an active part in the solution, something I believe to be critical to the success of the treatment. Both my husband and I agree that purchasing the entire package was worth every penny spent.
Practical tip: we found that layering bedding for quick changes, especially early on in the treatment, was especially helpful. We would layer as follows:
Waterproof mattress protector
absorbent chucks pad
Fitted sheet
absorbent chucks pad
Therapee pad
fitted sheet
When the alarm went off, we simply pulled the first layer of fitted sheet off, removed the chucks pad from underneath the therapee, then slid the therapee underneath the NEXT fitted sheet. Our situation rarely exceeded one change per night so two layers was sufficient.
We also simplified sheets and only used a blanket for warmth to make nighttime changes easier. In addition, we purchased thin underwear so that there was less absorbent material between the child and the therapee pad. This led to a quicker wake-up and I strongly believe, a more effective treatment.
Be sure to be CONSISTENT. We fully committed and kept a positive attitude and have now enjoyed two months of dry nights after years of nightly bed wetting.
Thank you, Doctor Sagie!
