Reviews & Awards
“I recommend Waking Up Dry to every family I see with a bedwetter. Dr. Bennett knows more about this symptom than anyone else in pediatrics or urology. Overcoming bedwetting takes motivation, endurance and self-study. This book is the answer. It covers every imaginable parent question, and the advice is evidence- and experience-based.”

“Bennett’s superb book outlining issues regarding bedwetting is an excellent guide for understanding what bedwetting is and how to best approach managing the problem. Complete, well written, clever in its design, and very parent and child friendly, this book is a valuable addition to a parent’s library of well-established references for helping them raise their children compassionately, knowledgeably, and with well-placed confidence. An outstanding approach from an experienced pediatrician.”
