Recommended First Line Treatment for Bedwetting

by Clinical Pediatrics and Journal of Pediatric Urology

A bedwetting hypnosis program to help your child wake up confident and DRY!

The ONLY medically proven, at-home bedwetting hypnosis program that teaches your child’s brain and bladder to work together.

No medications. No alarms. No shame.

Just a skill that lasts a lifetime.

If you've tried everything and nothing has worked,

YOU'RE NOT ALONE!

By the time families find us, they've usually tried:

And through it all...

Here’s what you need to know: Your child isn’t broken. They’re not lazy or immature. They just haven’t learned a skill yet.

And that skill can be taught.

Teaching the Brain-Bladder Connection

Most bedwetting treatments manage symptoms—they reduce urine, wake your child up, or work around the problem.

No bedwetting alarms

No shaming, alarms, or meds

Teach the brain-bladder connection

Created by a board-certified MD using neuroscience-backed techniques

Clean step-by-step framework

Our bedwetting hypnosis program is different.

We teach the actual skill your child is missing: brain-bladder communication.

Here’s what’s really happening:

In children who stay dry at night, the bladder sends a signal to the brain when it’s getting full. The brain receives that signal and either wakes the child up OR sends a message to hold the urine until morning.

In children who wet the bed, this communication system hasn’t fully developed yet.

The bladder fills up, but the signal doesn’t get through. Or the brain doesn’t respond appropriately.

That’s not laziness. That’s not deep sleeping. That’s a skill gap—and it can be taught.

A Proven Approach That Gets Results

Step-by-step, science-backed, and supportive.

Recommended as a first-line treatment for bedwetting by

The Journal of Pediatric Urology

Backed by medical research. Proven by real families.

Medical hypnosis for bedwetting isn’t new or experimental—it’s been studied for decades.

Recent independent research on our program:

A 2023 prospective study published in Clinical Pediatrics evaluated Keeping the Bed Dry® and found:

  • Median dry nights improved from 8 days to 15.5 days by the third month
  • ALL children who completed the study showed improvement
  • No side effects or identifiable risks
  • Researchers concluded it should be considered as first-line therapy for motivated children

The researcher’s conclusion: “Given the lack of toxicity, the success of therapy, and the ease of using an online format, we suggest that this be considered as a first-line therapy.”

The Journal of Pediatric Urology also recommended Keeping the Bed Dry as a first-line treatment for bedwetting.

"But we've already tried everything..."

The most common objections we hear from parents addressed.

"We tried the alarm and it didn't work."

The alarm tries to condition your child to wake to an external signal. Our program teaches internal brain-bladder communication. Many families who didn’t respond to alarms have great success with our approach because we’re addressing a different mechanism. Read one family’s story.

"My child has tried medication and it didn't help."

Medications manage symptoms—they reduce urine production but don’t teach the skill. When you stop the medication, bedwetting often returns. Our program teaches a lasting skill that doesn’t depend on external interventions.

"My child isn't motivated."

Motivation varies, but we’ve found that when children understand they’re learning a skill (not fixing a flaw), most become quite motivated. We build motivation throughout the program. Learn more about motivation.

"This seems too good to be true."

We understand skepticism, especially after trying approaches that didn’t work. But medical hypnosis for bedwetting has decades of research behind it. And our program specifically was evaluated in an independent research study published in 2023. See the research.

You’ve been waiting long enough. Your child has been missing out long enough. Your family has been stressed long enough.

It’s time for a different approach.

Real Families. Real Results. Real Hope.

Within the first month of starting the program, she was waking up dry 50%, when prior to that she wasn’t able to stay dry at all.

As of today, which is 6 months after we started the program, I’m so glad to report that my daughter has been dry the past 2 months! So, she became completely dry in less than 4 months!

— Parent of 9-year-old

Watching this program was the only thing that helped my 10 year old son.

Two months after completing the program, he still occasionally has accidents, but he went from nearly every night to maybe once a week at most, so we are extremely grateful!

— Parent of 10-year-old

All doubt as to if it works or not left me when I saw my son take control of something that had control of him.

I was so proud of him and I will be forever grateful to Dr. Lazarus for caring enough about my son to share this gift with him.

— Parent of 9-year-old

This experience has boosted my son’s confidence in ways that I did not anticipate.

He is proud of himself, and feels empowered and capable and grown-up. He wakes up strutting in his boxers in the morning, instead of hiding in the corner, peeling off a wet Pull-Up.

— Mom & Pediatrician

We are now just over 2 months into using the program and in the last 30 days, he has only had 3 accidents.

We are overjoyed with this progress and I am sure it will continue to improve until he no longer has accidents at all. I honestly would not have believed it if I hadn't witnessed it myself.
