what is the best way to stop a bed wetting?

Answer 1

For my daughters I put them in their panties, not a pull up or a diaper. I put a waterproof pad under them, found in the infant section at walmart. When they wet the bed they realize what they did. During the night I help them change their panties and I put a new waterproof pad under them and toss the other in the laundry. Of course give them a new blanket. This way takes about a week to train them. I wait until my child is 3 before doing this. By letting the child pee the bed, it helps them to learn to wake up during the night and go potty on their own. Just like with potty training, they need to realize when they are wet. After a week of letting them pee the bed, they will begin to wake up on their own when they feel the urge to pee. Make sure you keep a kind of bright night light in the bathroom and hallway. The dark can be intimdating to young children. Before you know it your child will wake up on their own to go potty. Remember that potty training at night is just like potty training for the day. They need to realize when they are wet. I think the problem with waking a child during the night to go potty is that the child doesn't learn to wake up on his own. The child needs to learn on his own to wake up and use the bathroom. I think the best way is to let them pee the bed. Be sure to get some waterproof pads to protect the mattress. This way worked for 2 of my 3 children, my youngest is 6 months so we haven't gotten to experience this with her just yet. If your child constantly has to pee at night, it could be a serious problem, like diabetes. So if your child is wetting the bed 3 or more times during the night I would talk to the doctor.

Answer 2

My little sister has the same problem. I think patience and sympathy can go a long way. In due time he or she will eventually stop. Something might have occurred to cause them to wet the bed perhaps moving to a new house or different school.

Answer 3

Depends on their age, but take them to a doctor if it continues. Bed wetting is a sign of a medical condition most of the time, and most of those conditions can be fixed with medication. Most bed wetters are not lazy, they have a condition that can be treated. Spanking won't help, even the sheets with alarms won't work. Doctors can help.

Answer 4

Nothing two hours before bed to drink. Must use the bathroom before bed. Most kids just grow out of this, and you really can't stop it until that day comes.

Answer 5

From a child?? Dont let them drink at night, ... go to the bathroom before bed, and if they do have an accident, dont say anything to them. That makes them feel awful and its more likely that they'll continue. Be patient. It'll stop.

Answer 6

It is something most children must just outgrow. It can be a response to stress so cut down your child's stress and see if it helps. Also, reduce fluids before bedtime, get a waterproof sheet, don't shame the child or punish him, like all things in life this too will pass!

Answer 7

Set an alarm clock for a few hours after they have went to sleep. Worked for my friends child didn't work for mine though.

Answer 8

Make them sleep with an electrical blanket, haha

Answer 9

My aunt had me go to bed repeating "I will not pee the bed" and it worked. Who knows?
