When my daughter was potty training we found an old folk remedy that really worked. First of all make sure that she doesn't have any carbonation drinks about 2 hours before bed. Also right before bed give her 1 teaspoon of honey then let her brush her teeth so that the sugar isn't laying on her teeth all night. In addition with this I would set my alarm to get her up every 2 hours at the beginning of this process. After about a week of her getting used to this process I was able to move it to every 3 hours. Until she eventually was able to get up all by herself to go to the potty. The honey not only stopped the bed wetting, but it also made her sleep better. It relaxed her quite a bit. The whole process to end the bed wetting took about 1 month. I have shared this with friends and family and some of the children took longer to break the habit while others broke it alot faster. So it varies in each child. Good luck to you. It will all work itself out. Just don't try to rush her and especially don't punish her if she has an accident. I know of some parents that make the child clean the bed and change the sheets thinking that it will make the child "learn a lesson". They realize that it doesn't work, all it does is make the child go into a shell and think that they are being bad when they have an accident.
