how can i stop a child from bedwetting?

Question

i asked if she was having nightmares but she said she never did when she wets her bed.

Answer 1

All of the advice is good. To ease the anxiety/shame, use nite-nite pants so accidents are less traumatic.

Answer 2

You didn't mention his age. If 5 and up, use a bedwetting alarm. Don't bother with alarm clocks, waking him at night or restricting fluids.... Bedwetting alarms are the only cure for bedwetting and will potentially eliminate YEARS of wetting.

If he has sensory issues, consider the recordable Malem bedwetting alarm that allows you to record a voice or other sounds that are more acceptable to him.

Please at least read about the alarms and make your own informed decision. Alot of misinformation is given out here.

Answer 3

My daughter wet the bed till she started puberty. We tried all the medications. The thing that worked the best was to cut off her liquid intake after 7pm (her bedtime was 9) and waking her up at midnight to take her to the bathroom. Her problem was that she was sleeping too heavily and her body didn't react to the signals. There can be physical reaasons why a child wets the bed though like a too small bladder so talking to her doctor is highly recommended.

Answer 4

Well, cut her drinking at a certain time and make sure she goes before she goes to bed. Another thing is to not discuss it. It causes more stress about it, and that can make the child pee in her bed. I remember I was a bed wetter and my dad used to remind me every night to not wet my bed. Then one night he forgot to remind me and I didn't wet my bed. It ended it.

Good luck.

Answer 5

Limit liquid intake, and try to discover the source of her displaced anxiety. Maybe she feels like she is responsible for your problems or your displeasure, or maybe she feels like she isn't good enough. Maybe she is afraid of a bully, or something else. Maybe is is biological, and she has bladder issues. Go to the doc and eliminate the physiological explanations first, then if it continues, seek short-term counseling (for both her and yourself). That's the best way you can go about helping her.

Give her nothing to drink 2 hours before bed, and wake her as you go to bed and make her go then.
