Bedwetting help, what age did you stop and how did you manage it?

So I wet the bed until I was about 14. Fortunatly that is long ago, but my younger brother is 10 (big age gap I know) still does it every night. He is getting very down about it. He can't go to sleepovers or overnight school trips (not that those are possibly now lol). I have tried telling him its ok and not his fault as I did it to a late age however he is still down about it. He wears the pull up "pants" you can buy that are basically nappies. He hates wearing them but also hates when his bed is wet. Has anyone experianced this and have any advice or support? Thanks

So I just had a quick Google and this charity seems to offer support online and via email for young people who struggle with bedwetting

https://stopbedwetting.org/superhero-bedwetting-checklist/ (I apologise, this website is really childish).

There are potential treatments available like medication and psychotherapy (depending on the exact corse)

Just keep him in the nappies, there is not much else you can do as he will have to grow out of it. I wet the bed until I was 11. I also wore a pull up nappy which made life so much easier. Trust me waking up in a wet nappy is much better than a wet bed! I would pee myself every night and in the morning just had to waddle to the bathroom and dispose of my pull up. It made getting ready for school much easier.

I also wet the bed until I was about 12. I grew out of it eventually (although very occasionally still do if I’m stressed). Just keep him in nappies and he’ll grow out of it too.
