If your child was also a daytime wetter, has there been any reduction in daytime wetting associated with use of the nighttime alarm?

Yes, definitely. But honestly I can't relate that to this device entirely. At the same time that we started using this, we also went gluten-free with our little guy and all the potty training issues (as well as a bunch of behavioral stuff) resolved pretty quickly. The bed wetting was the last big issue lingering, and this device worked like a miracle!!!

My son was not a regular daytime wetter, unless he had a long nap, but this product really begins to train the brain to pick up in the feelings of having to go, so I think it would help for daytime wetting as well. My son was recently sick and was drinking a TON of water so I thought for sure he would have an accident, but r didn't. He actually got up several times in the evening. So, the brain pathways alerting him to a full bladder are set now thanks to this device.

My son is 10, so he doesn't sleep during the day, but, he has not wet the bed for many many months now thanks to this alarm. I was very skeptical but it really worked great for him.

My child was only wetting at night by the time we used the alarm. I imagine that it would not help daytime wetting. From what I've read, the alarm helps the child learn to wake up when sleeping deeply in order to urinate and also helps their brain and body communicate while sleeping.

Hi, The Hero is the newest model. I am not certain that much, if anything has changed in features, except possibly this. I believe one of the features is that if the monitor has to vibrate to stimulate the baby more than twice within a short period of time the alarm will go off even if the baby is breathing. I did a good bit of research before buying the monitor and I couldn't find that feature with the halo. It may be the same, but I couldn't find the feature listed in its description. We have been using the monitor for two months now and love it. We did have one false alarm after changing the brand of diapers we were using. The diapers became looser as they got wetter through the night. What I discovered though due to that heart stopping incident is that the alarm worked even though the baby was swinging. (early on we needed to swing her at times to get her to sleep) Since the monitor is a motion detector I did not think it would work properly while the child was in motion, but it did.

It is used at night and stops wetness. You would need to use a deodorant product in the morning.

i'm not sure if it will work for an older child but my daughter is 5yr old and she just stopped wetting the bed and i have not had any issues with leaking...i have a tempurpedic mattress that she sleeps on and it has worked perfectly.... i do have a tempurpedic brand cover, the terry type cloth one that does absolutely nothing, it does not work. i hope this helps

We usually just wipe it clean with a washcloth before reattaching to underpants. The alarm will go off with just a drop of urine. If you get to it quickly, it shouldn't be that wet. Eventually she will learn to stop herself when she hears it, but it may take a little time.

I've used this with my second boy now and have not had a problem. Remember, he will be wetting through underpants and pants, not a direct stream like the potty - most wetness will end up below him anyway.

Depends on your child. It doesn't make a difference with my daughter during sleep. However, it has become part of our bedtime routine so when we do use the suit she knows immediately that it is time for bed. She is tiny so we still use ours when it is cold at night to avoid using a blanket in the crib. She is 16 months.

I seriously doubt it. When my son went through that stage, a new mattress, plastic sheet and made him carry his cloth sheets to the washing machine and wash plastic sheet by hand . Once his hands was in it the problem went away, proving it was laziness and not a heavy sleep issue, hope this helps.

I clip the alarm to my son's underpants and then put pullups over them. This way the alarm can work and the bed stays dry. Keep a stack of dry underpants and pullups out for quick nighttime changes. Good luck.

Not at all. It was less of a problem than some other potties we tried. Especially the Fisher Price frog - our daughter had a hard time with that one.

Kind of...You have to double check to make sure everything is covered. We were really pleased with this the first couple of nights. However, after a while when he went to the bathroom, not only was his fur soaked until the diaper came off, but wherever he laid was also wet. We ended up stopping use.

It doesn't appear that there is any difference other than the color. I'm sure it is all in the positioning of the alarm for a boy or girl. The alarm is super sensitive and worked great for my daughter! I highly recommend this for any child that has had a longer battle with bed wetting than most. My daughter was 10!!!

I haven't noticed reduced water pressure, but we are lucky to have plenty of water pressure in our area, so I think it will be hard to notice for us

Your not suppose to use sheets, I read it is dangerous. As for wetting ummm diapers?

Once prepped, this diaper is very absorbent! So I think it would be just fine to go cover less during the day.

No, the alarm is based on water displacement not water movement. Wind, waves or a pool cleaner shouldn't set it off. We never had problems with our pool cleaner setting off the alarm.

It is extremely sensitive. I make my son go pee after he brushes his teeth then he puts cleen underwear on then he puts in the machine. If you put it on after going pee then any moisture will trigger it.
