newlifemom Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 nighttime accidents? TIA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In The Great White North Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Yes, my MIL says that and would always give the dc a tablespoon of it before bed. Can't really say if it had any effect though - I suspect it has to be a long term thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumping In Puddles Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 no, but i frequently give my dc raw honey for night time coughing but they still wet the bed almost every night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newlifemom Posted December 8, 2009 Author Share Posted December 8, 2009 Oh well. It was worth a shot. I will try anything at this point. Even ds. He started crying the other morning and shouted, "I hate pee outs!" [that's what they are called here.] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawn in OH Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 I have heard the same thing, but I always forget to try it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonshineLearner Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Pull ups forever here. BUT, my mom has a book that says raw, unheated:-) honey is good for everything:-) Carrie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amber in AUS Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 I don't know anything about the honey but have you had his hormone levels checked? I have heard from my Dr that if you are still wetting the bed post 6yo you may have an inbalance. At night time your body secretes a hormone which limits the amount of pee your body makes. Some children don't produce enough of this hormone and wet at night. By the time most children are 6yo their bodies sort themselves out and start making this hormone in sufficient quantities to stop the night wetting. If they are still wetting post 6yo then they should be tested. My DH was a long term bed wetter so we have looking into it as it can be hereditary but fortunately that gene skipped my kids, they are all dry at night apart from the occasional accident from little DD.

Rosie_0801 Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Try a chiropractor too, if you haven't already. Rosie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osmosis Mom Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 We did the honey for two weeks or so with ds who was perhaps 11 then. It worked, after years of trying other things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1GirlTwinBoys Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Wow! We use RAW honey for a night cough's etc... but never heard this before. Going to start tonight since I have 5 year old twin boy's that still need a pull up. :001_huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcelmer Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Enuresis is fairly common, and your son is most likely just fine! If you are worried, have a good talk with the Dr. My DS struggled with this till almost 7 1/2 I think, then it just stopped... we did invest in waterproof sheets, and actually used cloth waterproof diapers for night.... MUCH cheaper than pullups.... Yes, there are large sizes out there that pull up and are effective. He was pretty upset about it too, but I found a good kids book at the library about it, and we just made sure that he knew that he wasn't in trouble, that his body just needed to get stronger. I think it was this book... http://www.amazon.com/Dry-All-Night-Technique-Bedwetting/product-reviews/0316542253/ref=dp_top_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1 We didn't try honey, but we did try no water after dinner, waking to pee about 10pm, but for us, it just was a matter of waiting till his body was ready. Hang in there... :-) :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
