How to Choose a Bedwetting Alarm

Bedwetting alarms alert children to wet beds.

Bedwetting is a problem that every parent battles at some point. When a child is transitioning from diapers, it is almost inevitable that they will be a few accidents along the way. For those children who have ongoing bedwetting issues, there are a variety of tools and techniques that can help. One of these tools is a bedwetting alarm that measures moisture in the bed and alerts the child to the wet bed.

Instructions

1. Look for both auditory alarms as well as vibrating alarms and determine which is most appropriate for your child. If your child is a heavy sleeper, having both noise and vibration will help him wake up.

2. Read the product information and ensure that the alarm has an adjustable volume level for children who are sound sleepers. A louder volume will also help parents hear the alarm when it goes off.

3. Read the alarm's product information to determine how the alarm attaches to the child. Some alarms attach to a child's own underwear, while others have their own underwear. In addition, some alarms consist of a pad that the child sleeps on, but some children don't like the feel of these.

4. Purchase an alarm with a remote sound speaker if your child is a restless sleeper and moves around a lot. These detached speakers are controlled wirelessly and can be positioned on the side table directly next to the bed.
