Answer 2

Wetting the bed at night is due to what is called "Deep Sleep" You sleep so deep you pee in bed w/out even realizing it. I know because i did wet the bed until about the age of 16. For me it stopped on it's own, everyone is different. I say with today's technology try asking your doctor. And never punish or spank for bed wetting the child didn't do this on purpose. If you do you will only prolong the bed wetting process. No child wants to wet the bed so get on there side and help them stop.
Good Luck

Answer 3

My mom said I started to have a clean diaper at the age of 10 months during the night. I would during the day, but not at night. I was potty trained at under 2 years of age and didn't wet the bed. I thought potty time was a "big kids" thing and I love the "big kids" praise. I took too it quick. I stop wearing diapers and went to pull ups at age 13 months my mom said. Went to undies at 2 years old. There was a few times I ever wet the bed and that was due to either over tiredness, bladder infections or had too much water to drink before bed.

If I did wet the bed, my mom would just adjust my drinking habits, make sure I went potty before bed and during the night when she wake me up when she woke up to go to the restroom.

She wouldn't yell at me nor punish me. That is the worst thing you can do to a child. A child who wets the bed alot can also have a medical condition like my brother did while he was a kid or the child could have emotional issue's due to home life. Which punishing can cause an increase of bed wetting.

Answer 4

I didn't, but I did just read an article in Parenting magazine about it. Research has now shown that a child who wets his bed isn't 'acting out' in some way when they're doing it. It's a simple matter of their system not being mature enough to wake up when their bladder is full. Never make a child feel bad about it, since they can't help it. Bed alarms, rewards for dry nights, none of this is appropriate for an action they can't control. Use waterproof mattresspad/sheets, try Pods (pottytraining.com, I think), and rest assured that as the child's body matures, it will pass.

Answer 5

Some children wet the bed simply because they are such sound sleepers, they don't wake up enough to get up and go. And every last one of them grows out of it. My sister used to wet the bed, she has an underdeveloped bladder. Even as an adult, she has to urinate more frequently than most people, because her bladder is smaller than a typical persons. It also tends to run in families, because my son wets the bed. It's no biggie, he wears the pull up at night and is fine.

Answer 6

Some children have problems due to physiological reasons, such as slow physical development. But my stepdaughter wets the bed for emotional reasons, related to her mother moving house at least every six months and her having other issues. She is five and if she was my daughter I would be very strict on her but her mother just puts a plastic sheet on the bed and changes it every day. I think that unless there is a physical problem (in which place she should see a doctor) she should have been toilet trained years ago and I have very little tolerance for this.

Answer 7

Most often the reason is the bladder has grown slower than the rest of the body. Just explain to the kid there is nothing he can do about it until his bladder catches up and have him wear pull ups at night. It's important not to punish or humiliate the poor kid, that would be like punishing him because he isn't growing tall enough.
