Answer 1

first of all i stoped wetting the bed when i was 9, so dont feel bad, but if u are worried then talk with your doctor. there are good nights, i am not sure what brand, but they are kind of like diapers, but they hold alot. and make sure she does not drink anythig before she goes to bed, and make sure she goes potty.

Answer 2

Could be several things i.e., an emotional problem causing stress, weak bladder sphincter (muscle), chronic bladder infections can cause it. I hesitate to ask this, but has she any history of sexual abuse? Get another Dr.'s opinion. There are products on the market that you can purchase for just such a problem. They are pads you put on the bed that awaken the child by an alarm at the first indication of moisture. Get an appointment with a pediatric urologist.

Answer 3

Sometimes this is just something they must grow out of. My friends daughter was nearly eight before it just stopped one night. She was frustrated and tried many home remedies, none of which worked. She just resorted to patience and eventually it stopped.
You may also want to check out this buzzer that helps your child change their sleeping habits if bedwetting is caused by sleeping too deeply. Once the alarm goes off, your child must get up, go clean themselves and strip the wet linens. This helps, my brother did this for only three weeks and stopped.

Answer 4

lots of kids wet the bed...even if they are potty trained during the day and have no other problems.......she may sleep too hard to feel the urge to go to the bathroom at night.....its common.....talk to your doctor if he refuses to do anything look into going to a doctor that knows more about bed wetting problems.....there may not be a physical reason for her bed wetting but there is definately something that you need to resolve....if your doctor ignores your concern find a doctor that will listen

Answer 5

My brother wet the bed until he was about 10 or 11 I think. Anyway, tried lots of stuff, never worked. He just stopped. No idea why.

Answer 6

Maybe its psychological, as young as your daughter is. Is there a therapist that deals with children her age that might be able to help?
