DS has almost always wet the bed, it was actually better when he was younger and woke up regularly at night. Because then if he hadn't peed yet I'd take him potty then back to bed.
But now he is mostly sleeping through the night. He does pee right before bed and I try not to let him have too much water (sometimes he asks for it sometimes he doesn't). But then I think at 2-3 in the morning he pees, a LOT. I had Imse Vimse waterproof trainers and was doubling them, but that wasn't enough. I finally got sick of soaked trainers and blankets and bought disposable pull-ups.
He's also been wearing the pull ups at daycare for a while now for naptime.
There are times when he is dry in the morning but not that often, and it seems to be random.
He does have a wheat/gluten intolerance and just started getting seasonal allergies this summer, so he may have more food intolerances. We cut out egg a week ago to see if that helps. Not sure yet so far.
He also has little piddles in his pants every day. Maybe food related, I don't know. I didn't want to have to do a full elimination diet with him so just trying the eggs first since that came up on his ELISA allergy test (although wheat never did and he obviously has issues with it).
Anything else it might be? He's always been one to usually not care if his pants are wet, unless he's really wet he will just run around in wet pants! Do you think that is part of the problem?
And even though we part time EC'd since 2mo, it wasn't until he was 2.5-3 that he started initiating going potty himself and we still have to remind him regularly.

: dairy would be my next suspect after the things you know he reacts to. Elimination might not be necessary, just not a ton of it in one day.
) and low and behold, 9 days before his birthday, he started telling me when he had to pee. Just like that. No accidents, no false alarms, just him deciding it's time. It wasn't a skill for him that took time to master, he's been doing this his whole life...it was just a decision he made. (In fact, I'm so completely sure it's not a skill thing, it's a decision thing, that I'm not even afraid of cursing it by posting this!) And two weeks ago, this is the kid who would wear wet pants for hours if I let him, who didn't want to go to the potty, who thought diapers were the best thing to happen to him in the whole world. So if your son is like mine, it could just be that too. He might just have to decide it's important to him. Especially if he's been a "poop grad" forever like my DS (since umm 5, 6 months old?) it really might be a priority thing. If they could care less about wet pants, then that's where they are right now. Soon he'll care about wet pants, and then he'll keep them dry.
this is going to be tough.
