I need advice on Bed wetters. My daughter is nearly 6yrs old.?

Question

I do'nt let her drink after 6pm, her bed time is 7:30pm. I make her go to the toilet before bed, sometimes i even wake her up in the middle of the night but i won't do that anymore cause it upsets her. I ahve heard of people wetting the bed at 11yrs. Sometimes she may wet herself a little during the day and she won't even notice. HELP ME HELP HER.

Answer 1

I wet the bed until I was in my pre-teens and it isn't anything bad and can actually be fixed by visiting your doctor. Explain the situation and there will be a variety of treatments to choose from; they include diapers that make noise and vibrate when moisture is detected to what I did: antibiotic nose spray. Visit your doctor and I assure you everything will be fine. Best Wishes!

Answer 2

At least 15% of children are not dry at this age. There is also a strong genetic role, so if you or dad were wetters, this may be a reason.

I had little success in treating children under the age of 6 or 7. Punishment plays no role and is psychologically harmful. (I recently spoke to a 55 year old man who related how his father beat him after bed wetting, and worse!)

Try a star chart, with a star for each dry night. After five stars, give her a special treat.

DDAVP nasal spray is effective but expensive, and the child again wets when the medication is stopped.

After age 6 or 7, alarms are frequently effective. The new ones are small, battery operated, and run about $50 - 70. Initially you may need to wake the child fully and take her to the bathroom when the alarm sounds, but most kids soon catch on and go to the bathroom alone after a learning period.

Good luck, and patience! And, by all means see a doc if daytime wetting continues. This needs to be checked out.

Answer 3

I would take her to the doctor since she has a problem with it during the day as well. She could have a bladder problem like my lil brother did. However, he did not wet the bed. He just could not hold it. There is a common medical condition, especially in girls. I cannot remember exactly what it was called, but I had my brother-in-law telling me about it. He is an EMS. It causes them to go right then and most of the time it is hard for them to make it to the bathroom. Once they feel it, that's it, it is time to go. If left untreated it can be real harmful and have lasting effects on the child.

Answer 4

If she is wetting herself while she is awake it is most likely a physical problem. Take her to the doctor and explain that to him. It may something that can be fixed.

My sister and a cousin wet the bed until they were almost in their teens. Nothing would help it except time. My sister did not wet when she slept over at someone elses' house. Possibly because she didn't sleep as deeply as in her own bed. But she never wet during the day or while awake.

Answer 5

Day wetting is a problem you should certainly see your doctor about. Night wetting is such a common issue in kids, I would let it work its course and let her use a diaper at night. I wet the bed up to at least 12. I was put in diapers at night which I do admit at first I was very embarrased but I got used to it. They just became to me my nite time pants which was no big deal. Its all how you treat the child, dont treat her like a baby, treat her like any other kid and it will work it self out. Each child is so different, my almost 7 yr old never had any issues at night but one of his classmates from his school which is one of our neighbors wears a diaper to bed. My 4 1/2 yr old recently started having night time accidents which now wears a diaper to bed. We chose to use protection but you can take her to your doctor and get his opinion.

Answer 6

Daytime wetting at her age could possible be a medical problem or just laziness. There is a good source for this type of information on doctor Scott's public questions and answers. The email is [e-mail] Good luck.

Answer 7

Answer 9

I think there is no worry I mean I know a 13 year old who wets the bed I mean she will grow out of it!!

Answer 10

One of my neighbors had some success by giving her daughter a salty snack before bed. I guess it made the child retain some fluid so she did not have the urge to pee.
