A book I have on natural remedies contains testimonials from several people on the power of honey to stop bedwetting.
The treatment is to give the child somewhere between one teaspoon and one tablespoon of honey before bedtime.
I'm pretty sure that the way that it works is to raise the child's blood glucose levels far enough that their body has to keep additional water in their bloodstream to keep their blood sugar from going too high, instead of sending the water to the bladder. So I don't consider this a very healthy solution for regular use, just one that is useful for those I-really-don't-want-to-deal-with-this-today situations...such as during the holidays.
Since the active ingredient is a form of sugar, plain table sugar should have this effect as well, and so should Christmas candy.
