 my sonis 14 and still wet nightly sometime a number of times per night, as has already been mention you cope at home, but holiday are very difficult. We have used pull ups when away but as kids get older they just dont cope with volume! I have tried most things  but what ever mix if sheet/towel/duvet/sleeping bag they still need washing daily along with pjs. We now have waterproof sleeping bag liners from eric and then only have to wash pjs out in a large trug bucket and wash liquid incase water is not to hot. It was advised the child should take responsibility for all clean up jobs involved.

Its even harder in hotels etc, weve had maids be very rude in the past.

Good luck and I hope your children grow out of there bedwetting soon.

We have bought the sleeping bag liners from ERIC to take away and they will also use pullups (the amount produced sometimes defeats pullups  and soaks everything - they must have bladders the size of England or sneak to the bathroom to empty some beakers of water onto the bed!).

Like a lot have mentioned our eldest (7 in April) goes through phases of being dry for a while then wet. The school nurse has been rounfd to see us and its a much more common problem than most think.

The main thing is to manage it while camping so it does not spoil the trip.

Cheers.

Phew, I was going to post this question !  Our 7 year old started wetting while being bullied at school, bullying sorted now (big scary me catching them doing it and telling them what I thought of them worked) but we do still have occasional problems

Thanks for the solutions would hate to spoil our holiday for something that isnt her fault

You can also buy a special quick drying absorbant waterproof sheet called a Kylie sheet, which are often used for this purpose for people of all ages, and widely used in nursing homes to solve the problem. They are normally pink in colour and large enough to line a sleeping bag and very absorbant, yet easy to rinse out and dry due to their special core material. they are available from larger chemists shops and most disabilty centres. We had the same problem in the caravan with my grandaughter and used ours regularly, Its as easy as rinsing out a swimming kit after use.
