is there an easy way to help a child stop wetting the bed other thatn the fluid restrictions?

Answer 1

never use fluid restrictions. they cause dehydration. use pull-ups. this is a common problem up to age 10

Answer 2

Some children simply don't feel the urge when they are asleep. They sleep so deeply that they just don't feel it. Others have issues with the muscles that control the bladder and urethra, and cannot control the muscle while they are asleep to hold in the urine. Restricting fluids is your best bet right now to help, but during the day, you can have your child try to work on contracting the muscles that control flow. The stronger the muscles are, the more effieciently your child can hold it in. You may also want to try some of the Pull-ups that feature a wetness signal liner. That way, your child (and you) can eliminate the embarrassment and inconvience that wetting the bed causes, but he may be able to feel the wetness in order to start getting in the habit of waking up to go potty.

Answer 3

Yes. Ask your pediatrician about a bed wetting alarm.

The alarm fastens onto the outside of a pair of underwear at one end and the part that makes the sound goes onto the top of the jammies. When the child wets and the alarm goes off, you get him out of bed, have him go to the bathroom and get changed, change the sheets and put him back to bed. The kid has to wake up all the way.

After a while his body starts to learn to wake up just as he starts to pee and finally right before he pees.

It worked for my 6 year old in less than a month. What a relief---for him. He could do sleepovers!

Answer 4

I had a relative whose child had a similar issue. She questioned a dr and this is what they did....there is a devise that is in bed with the child that measures "wetness'. When the child wets the bed, an alarm will sound to waken them. At that point, the mom and child would awaken and together they would change bedding.
This lasted about 1 month and the child never wet the bed again.

Answer 5

No it just takes time, I have 4 children my oldest was fully potty trained at 2 1/2 same with my 2nd, now my 3rd was potty trained at 3, but just recently got out of pull ups at night and he turned 4 in July, it all takes time and when they are ready they will do it...good luck, by the way you never mentioned how old your child is,

Answer 6

Nope. If this is simply part of the potty training process, the simplest way is to simply limit fluid intake about 2 hours before bedtime. Or, keep them in diapers during the night until they are able to hold their bladder throughout the night.

Answer 7

When their bladders are mature enough they will stop wetting the bed its not their fault it all depends on their bladder. Also some people have smaller bladders than others. Dont give any fuilds an hour or before bedtime and make sure he or she goes to the bathroom before bed. Dont get angry with them because they are not doing it to make u mad and I promise you it will only make things worse.

Answer 8

When I was a child, my dad worked second shift, so he got home around 3 am. He would always wake me up to go to the bathroom when he got home. I'd still have accidents once in awhile, but it definately cut down on them.
Although it would be a pain for you, you might want to set an alarm for yourself to get up in the night and wake up your child and take him/her to the bathroom.

Answer 9

make him have a habit of going to the bathroom straight before bed

Answer 10

nope
his brain has to be mature enough to do it on its own...
so be patient,
may be a pull up will give you some sanity
