PEDIATRICIANS: MOST KIDS OUTGROW BEDWETTING

Most children who wet the bed will outgrow it, and treatment is necessary only if bedwetting is upsetting to the child, according to new guidelines from the Canadian Pediatric Society (CPS).

Bedwetting

I had read this on another site a good while back and thought that I should share it here.

For us it is simply a matter of no drinks near sleepy hour and use the potty before bed. Of course sometimes our son still has to go, but at least he is not wetting the bed.

Our oldest son had a couple of accidents just after our second son was born. He is 6 years old and I suppose he was so excited about having a baby brother at home that he just could not help himself and wet the bed. Poor thing.

It can be a difficult decision to make, when you know that your child isn't going to make having a full 'dry' night, and the other solution is 'lifting' a child whilst asleep,which isn't exactly ideal, especially if the report that Bwren has clippings of could be correct.

I have tried to let my 2 youngest sleep right through without toileting them, but they haven't quite made it yet, so have found the best solution for them is to toilet them at midnight, and they then sleep through until 7am, and are dry, and not distressed.

I've found that they get very distressed if they have an 'accident', especially when it's happened subconsciously to them, and they haven't been able to do anything to avoid it happening.

We have the same problem. Our middle child is still in pull-ups for the evening time because he just doesn't wake up. He has been potty trained for a while but still can't wake up at night. My oldest son had no problems what so ever, when he was trained, he was done. We just have to keep remembering that its not good for him either, and can be embarrassing, so we don't make a big deal out of it.

It's normal for children to have accidents when there are big changes in their lives - such as Felipe's new baby brother and how mommy and daddy have shifted their focus - or if they are stressed or sick. My daughter is 8 and had an accident about 6 months ago when she was ill. She was sleeping so deeply after having been up most of the night, she just didn't wake up when it was "time." It's very distressing for her and embarrassing, but we just don't make a big deal about it. Get cleaned up and carry on.
