I have 4 children and all were difficult to potty train, but my 2 older sons seemed to train for night right away. My 2 daughters at ages 8 and 10 were still wetting the bed nightly and wearing pull-ups.
I thought the therapee system was super expensive and was pretty skeptical that it would work and I would get scammed. However, nothing else had worked. My 10 year old daughter wanted to go to sleep away camp, so we gave it a desperate try.
The first couple of weeks she had lots of accidents, and it was really annoying. My bedroom is also kind of far away from my children’s, so she had to wake me up everything the alarm woke her up! It would be more ideal for parents to be closer to their child’s bedroom so they are woken as well in case the child does not wake up. We had to have 3-4 sets of sheet on hand each night for a few nights. Gradually after a couple of weeks, my daughter started peeing less times and then having dry nights. Within about a month and a half she was consistently having dry nights. She went to camp and had no accidents. No more pull-ups for her!
I used the same therapee mat for my 8 year old. She peed 3 times a night the first week. That started lessening the 2nd week to 1 or 2 times. Finally in week 3 she started to get some dry nights. Week 4 has been all dry nights. I will probably keep using the alarm until she is dry for a month .
Both my daughter’s confidence soared as they started getting dry nights. They love putting the stars onto the online calendar and seeing their progress. I am so glad we did this. No more expensive pull ups that are super smelly. We an throw the diaper bin away finally! I’m happily surprised and so grateful.
