I have a 6 year old girl who came out of pullups at night last year... we had lots of accidents at first but eventually she got dry.. thing is after a few weeks of being dry, she reverts back to wetting the bed again for a week or two every couple of nights and then a dry period and so on ,, im at my wits end and dont know what to do???

I was 12 when I stopped wetting the bed because I needed kidney surgery, so I'm looking at things totally opposite what most moms do.
Chances are that if there's a medical issue, it's minor, but consider that

I have no intention of disciplining her, and this has been going on for months, almost a year now. I know its not her fault and she cant help it, I guess there is a medical or mental reason for it I just was looking for some similar stories and was looking for how they turned out. Am taking her to the doc next week to see where we go from there.

Be patient, she's probably not doing it intentionally. Her body is growing and her internal organs aren't necessarily growing at the same rate as her body. Chances are it's a minor issue, but if it continues for months, get her to the doctor. It's highly improbable there is a serious issue, but eliminate everything else before you discipline her.
