Aide contre l'énurésie nocturne
Conseils pour lutter contre l'énurésie nocturne
La plupart des enfants acquièrent le contrôle de leur vessie la nuit avant leur entrée à l'école. Toutefois, si votre enfant fait encore pipi au lit au moins deux fois par semaine après l'âge de cinq ans, il est peut-être temps d'envisager un soutien supplémentaire.
Environ 15 % des enfants souffrant d'énurésie nocturne cessent naturellement chaque année. Mais pour ceux qui persistent, cela peut être une expérience pénible, susceptible d'affecter leur confiance en soi, de provoquer de la gêne, voire d'entraîner du harcèlement. C'est pourquoi trouver une solution efficace peut transformer la vie de l'enfant et de sa famille.
Les alarmes d'énurésie (également appelées alarmes pipi au lit) constituent la solution à long terme la plus efficace, étayée par des recherches internationales, comparée aux autres méthodes de traitement.
En effet, le professeur Hjalmas de Suède — expert mondialement reconnu en pédiatrie — affirme que les alarmes contre l'énurésie nocturne sont « la seule méthode dont l'efficacité pour résoudre le problème a été prouvée ».
Comment fonctionnent les alarmes d'énurésie nocturne ?
Ces alarmes utilisent une forme d'entraînement comportemental pour aider le cerveau de l'enfant à se réveiller en réponse aux signaux d'une vessie pleine. Normalement, le cerveau réagit à cette sensation en réveillant l'enfant, mais chez les enfants qui font pipi au lit, ce signal ne fonctionne pas correctement. Les alarmes pour l'énurésie nocturne s'activent lorsqu'elles détectent de l'humidité, réveillant l'enfant pour qu'il puisse finir d'uriner aux toilettes. Avec le temps, l'enfant apprend à associer la sensation de vessie pleine au besoin de se réveiller, et finit par se réveiller de lui-même avant que l'alarme ne sonne.
Comment fonctionnent les alarmes DRI Sleeper® ?
Les alarmes DRI Sleeper® se composent de deux parties : l’unité d’alarme et l’Urosensor™. Le capteur se place dans le sous-vêtement de l’enfant (idéalement dans une poche découpée dans une serviette hygiénique pour femme, petite ou standard) et déclenche l’alarme dès qu’il détecte une humidité. Certains parents se demandent en quoi cela est utile si l’alarme ne sonne qu’après le début de la miction ; c’est là que le conditionnement intervient. Le cerveau associe progressivement la sensation de vessie pleine au réveil. Au début, l’alarme sert de déclencheur d’apprentissage. Après quelques semaines, votre enfant commence à se réveiller avant d’uriner. Finalement, il réagit spontanément au signal de sa vessie pleine, sans avoir besoin de l’alarme. Continuez à utiliser le DRI Sleeper® jusqu’à ce que votre enfant reste au sec pendant 14 nuits consécutives.
Combien de temps dure le traitement ?
La durée d'apprentissage avec un DRI Sleeper® varie. Certains enfants réagissent en quelques jours, tandis que d'autres peuvent avoir besoin de quelques mois. En moyenne, la plupart des enfants sont propres en 2 à 12 semaines. Un petit nombre peut nécessiter un accompagnement prolongé. Tout achat d'un DRI Sleeper® inclut un accès à un accompagnement d'experts tout au long du processus : vous n'achetez pas seulement une alarme, mais un système éprouvé, soutenu par un service d'assistance et des conseils locaux.
Let customers speak for us
Our son (9yo) was wetting the bed every night and sleeping through. After the alarm went off on the first night, his bed wetting improved dramatically from then on. Most nights it doesn't go off and if it does, it will only be a small wet patch rather than massive bed wetting. We found that the two pants method with the sensor wrapped in a sheet of toilet paper placed between the pants worked very well. Would highly recommend the product.
We tried this bed wetting alarm for my 6-year old daughter who is a deep sleeper. We were sceptical at first, but hopeful. We tried the 2 knicker way for the first day, but the clean up was too much and took too long. We then switched to using pull-ups, which was much better. For the first 2 nights, the alarm woke my daughter up but she couldn’t do a wee as she had already emptied her bladder or couldn’t empty the rest. The next 2 nights, she woke up and then did some wee in the toilet and the amount of wee increased. She then had 5 dry nighte followed by one wet night but was able to do a big wee in the toilet. Then to our surprise my daughter had 14 completely dry nights and is now in knickers at night without any alarm. We cannot believe how well the alarm has worked. Pure relief for us, but it has made our daughter feel good about herself and given her confidence and a further level of independence. Hope it works for your child!
I couldn't quite understand how the alarm would work, and pictured weeks of sleepless nights, but within three nights my son was dry and has been ever since! Such a game charger for our situation. (Used for a 5 year old, who was orinally dry at night but the bed-wetting got progressively worse after starting school)
Didn’t believe this could work! My 8 year old daughter was getting upset that she was 8 and was still wetting her bed every night. She has a school residential trip this year and didn’t want her friends to know she still wet her bed. So we decided to give this a try- 4 weeks in of using this and wow!! It’s worked! Highly recommend!
My 7 year old son stopped wetting himself after 3 nights and we are nappy free now for 1 month. We had only one accident since and it was at the very beginning. Honestly I struggled to believe it is going to work but I tried for my son and we both imagined this is the magic item which is going to help. And it worked. I thing it was more psychological for him than physical and that's why it worked so quickly.
My 10 year old regularly has wet beds and we had tried everything possible to help him. I had looked up alarms before but thought it would be a wasted expense but after still no improvement we decided to go for it. I don’t know how this alarm works but it’s been like a miracle. After 2 nights of the alarm going off and my son not waking to it I thought it was going to be a failure but since then he has been completely dry, and has been for well over a month now which is the longest he has ever gone. So my advice would be don’t hesitate and just buy it as for us it has been worth every penny.
Who ever invented this alarm is a genius,l bought this as a last resort ,from waking my son through out the night and still having him wet in the morning,we were both getting frustrated and sleep disturbed most days.The alarm has worked its magic we are going to 6 weeks of being dry ,he now wakes up on his own,the good thing his little brother is now using the same alarm too(first week).To anyone hesitant to purchase this ,l swear this is genius ,you just have to know the first 2-3 weeks might be hectic depending on each child but it gets easier.This is the best investment l ever made this year so far.😀
We’ve been using the alarm for a few months now. It’s very effective and is definitely making a difference
I am amazed at how well this worked! My son is 6 and was still wearing nappies overnight, sometimes even leaking through because he would wee at least 3 times. We tried absolutely EVERYTHING, but nothing worked. He was producing a lot of urine overnight AND was a deep sleeper who would not wake when his bladder was full or even if he had soaked the bed. The alarm is easy and small, we just taped it onto the outside of his undies, and worked like magic. Within 10 days he was getting through the whole night with the alarm only going off in the morning. And by the middle of week 2 he was fully dry overnight with no alarm sounds and he was waking himself to go. I am so so happy with this device, best money spent. My son is so happy with himself too.
After only 4 nights of the alarm going off in the night, our 7 year old was able to wake up on his own and go to the toilet in the night, 2 weeks later he was dry all night and we ditched the pull ups. Wish we’d tried this alarm sooner. Couldn’t believe it worked.
I was very dubious as to how the alarm would actual stop my deep-sleeping 6 year old wetting the bed Each night. But, after just 3 weeks, we have successfully completed 2 weeks of consecutive dry nights!
Worth every penny.
Brilliant works, no more wet nights after 2 weeks. 3 small leaks, alarm went off 3 times just a dribble. Since then nothing for the last 8 week, bone dry..
Great alarms and amazing resources to help keep my little ones dry
