My 8 year still wet's the bed?

Question

how can I stop my son from wetting the bed He 's a heavy sleeper it's hard for me to wake him why is that...

Answer 1

There are several reasons for this. It could be that he has a smaller than normal bladder, so he will pee more frequently. It could be that he's just too heavy a sleeper and cannot wake up in time. It could be that he drinks too much too close to bedtime, and you should have a cut off time for him. I would try cutting off the liquids at a certain time. Have him use the restroom before he goes to bed. If that doesn't work, add a "wake up time" before you goto bed to ensure he pee's then too. Good luck!

Answer 2

My former sister in law wet the bed till she was 11...also a heavy sleeper...one day she just stopped.
There is medication for it now...I don't know what it is called though.

Answer 3

Rubber Pants! She will wet her self and find it VERY uncomfortable. She will start to relate wetting the bed to discomfort and subconciously she will lose comfort in thinking the bed is a toilet. This is drastic but truly it only takes two and half weeks at most for her to stop.

Answer 4

though its embarrasing to say, i wet the bed until I was 11! my problem was a health issue and my bladder muscles werent strong enough to hold it in. I used the thick femenine pads to keep it from getting to my sheets but I was a girl. Goodnites work well for boys if you have the money for them. just dont let him drink any fluids after 1 hour before bed and have him go to the bathroom before he falls asleep. another good choice for boys are the pads they use for elderly to sleep on at nursing homes. my mom used to work at a nursing home so she had plenty but they are easy to clean, just throw them in the washer and you can probably call a local nursing home to see if they have any extras or know where you could get one. good luck and chances are he will grow out of it.

Answer 5

Talk to your local childrens hospital and get the bell and mat system. It worked wonderfully for my daughter. It is not uncommon at his age to wet the bed. His body doesn't yet connect the "full bladder " feeling in his sleep to mean wake up. Don't punish him as he has no control over it. check this site

Answer 6

I would talk to his Dr. the normal age is 6. there may be a problem or it could be as simple as teaching him not to drink after 7pm and using the bathroom before bed. also limit his soda and juice intake 2 hours befor bed. But I'm sure the Dr. has other suggestions

Answer 7

A good punch to the face should take care of your problem. That's what my parents did to me. I never wet the bed again!










I am so lonely.
