Night training older kid

Okay so I have a 6 year old who is still in pampers at night. I know it runs in my family to have issues with this, but I want to try everything possible before I give up and say he is unable to keep dry at night.

So please everyone give me ideas that you have tried that have either worked or not worked and your experience with it.

Thanks in advance.

OP here.
I live out of NY but do you know if it is a one time visit to the Dr. or you have to come back mulitple tiimes.
Also regarding the night alarm - can you give me details of how old your kid was and the details of the situation (I.e. what you tried before).
Thanks

We used the alarm at 7 years old for a very deep sleeper, it was an accident every single night, we tried no drinks after 6, waking to use the bathroom t 12, reading books on staying dry, giving rewards, nothing worked until the alarm, 2-3 weeks with the alarm and was trained.

Different amother. We also used an alarm, for a 5 year old who suddenly started wedding his bed night after night, for months. Also a deep sleeper. I can't emphasize how quickly and effectively it has worked bli ayin hara. Also runs in our family. Also 2-3 weeks even though the product said up to 6 weeks. (BTW, it suggests to keep using it for a certain amount of time even after you see the desired effects).

Can you all tell me which brand was used & which product it was. My 6 year old is on DDAVP for a few weeks & its not helping him. I would like to try one of these products.

My DS was 5 and had never ever woke up dry, we got this alarm (link below) and it was a miracle. By the end of the month, he never again had an accident (that was 2 years ago). It was worth every penny. Read the reveiws on amazon, it has nearly 5 stars.

I'm the amother who sent you the amazon link. I agree it's so expensive, and I also didn't buy it right away bec. of the expense, but it was SO worth it. PullUps/diapers are also expensive. And the majority of pple. on Amazon it worked for them. Also either way, if it works for you or not you can always sell it on ebay when you are done with it and make back a good part of the $ you paid. Also I would highly recommend that you switch him to the bottome bunk (at least until he's done with this issue) bec. how can you expect to train him with him going up and down at night (whether you use the alarm or any other method, especially if he is a heavy sleeper).

I third the recommendation for the Malem Ultimate alarm. It is expensive but worth every penny. We recently finished using it with our 7 yr old and are considering starting it with our 5 yr old.
