This is consistent with our information/experience, except our bedwetter has
not outgrown it yet. So I do like to evaluate other information, when it
comes across the table. The percentage quoted by another poster (some very
large percent being caused by allergy) seemed inconsistent with other
information I had read on the topic, so I was interested in whether or not
there was a reference for that claim. The bedwetter in our family is also
the only one who has never shown any obvious signs of allergies of any kind.
