kids still wetting the bed

i wet my bed 'til i was 10...so don`t worry..it will all go away..you will have to stand this situation a little bit more...just have patience..it won't last forever..if you say that the doctors think that is nothing wrong with them..then they are right..let them the way they are..because there`s nothing you can do about it..good luck!

Wait it out for another 2 years if it is still occuring then get some help. I have heard it isn't medically wrong for a 12 year old to be wetting the bed.

don't get panic. it will pass. some children use to it quickly, and some need more time. just show them support no matter what they doing, and trust me, they will pass it quickly as you think.

I feel you I am on the same boat for awhile I had to but my son who is 4 years old in pull up for at night time he didn't like the way they fell when wet.Now he wakes up and go to the bathroom all on his own.I still limt his drinks at night time.When it gets to 6:00 pm he knows that he gets nothing else to drink.Right befor bed time he has to go to the bathroom.If he is dry in the morning he gets a sicker.That works well. It has been awhile since he has wet the bed.Good luck to you.

Hello, My daughter had this problem and I knew that a regular doctor wouldn't have the answer for me. I took her to a chiropractor and he told me that it was a food alergy. Most common food alergy that causes bed wetting is MILK. I stopped all milk products. That includes cheese. Read labels! She stopped bed wetting. Give it a try. It may stop the bladder infections as well. You must consider pro-biotics to replace the good bacteria that the anti-biotics killed or infections will persist. Hope this helps. Would like to hear any results.

it is not bad for a child to wet their beds...actually im 19 yrs old and my roommate who is 20 yrs still wet her bed......i think we have to urinate before sleeping that is better.....now she is fine....expect when she consumes more water and does not urinate.....

have you tried waking them up in the middle of the night before they go to the bathroom in the bed? I also heard there is a device that can wake them up, but frankly I don't know much about it. Also make sure they don't drink at least a half hour before going to bed.

How old are your kids? as both of them are having this problem i think there is some genetic problem? Was there anyone from both sides of their family having same problem? Try to tell the doctors next time you visit.

I have a niece who went through a terrible bed wetting phase for over a year. Firstly, we made sure she had nothing to drink after 6pm. That didn't always stop the problem, but helped. Then we did the whole reward system and made sure she went to the bathroom right before bed and after. She rarely has accidents anymore. Goodluck and stick it out!!! I know many children who go through this and they end up fine...just sucks while it is going on for everyone.

i have a four year year old girl and i still have to buy pull ups with XXL sizes. why don't you try using REWARD APPROACH? Talk to your kids before they go to bed and tell them that you'll give them a treat (say a candy bar or a super deeduper yummy hot chocolate) in the morning if they do not wet their beds. that worked on my nephew. i'll probably try it on my kid next year.

This is from my experience. I do experience from wetting the bed until i was 10 years old!! I think at 10 it's really humilating not only to the parents but the child too. I was really worried everytime i went for a family occasion like in my grandparents house or my uncle houses. And to prevent from wetting the bed, my mom always brought along a bed size plastic and layered under the bed sheets!! Everytime i shift position sure the sound of plastic crash the night. Frankly speaking i also don't know how i overcome the wetting bed. It just begin with one day and another until its no more. As for me the what was the urologist said was right and it will stop somedays. You just have to be a tough mom like and sooner or later your kids will eventually stop. Trust me it will as the prove it me.

How old are your kids? What I did was I made my kid pee before going to bed. I reminded her every night until eventually it became a habit.

well, This is a big problem which most of the parent facing. I think its also related to parents behaviour, I mean how they reacting with his child after seeing this. Most of them are souting on his.her children, even some ti,es beating too.. which makes child nurvous, and every night child feel uncomfortable, means if again i did then again parent beat me. Acording to my point of view parent should behave properly. and they should take some effort. I mean to say every mid night he try to take then in bathroom, and of course if you have to child like this then first seperate them. i mean give seperate bed to each... surely within two month your childs will recover for this problem.. for that atleast two month you have to take effort so that they can recover with this problem

My brother used to wet his bed until he was about 10. We were told it was an anxiety issue. There could be a deep seated anxiety issue, or something that bothers them during the day, but it is not something subconsious. My daughter is 7, I notice that if she does not go to the toilet before going to bed, she wets the bed, she too goes into a deep sleep and does not realise that she needs to go to the toilet. If you can time when they are wetting the bed approximately and especially if you can catch up on your sleep during the day, try to see if they are wetting the bed at the same time every night. If so, then just about 10-15min before, take them to the toilet, I know it is difficult to wake them but get them out of bed and walk them to the toilet, I am not sure how you can handle this with your son, but with your daughter just sit her down on the toilet seat and open a tap, when she is done, take her back to bed! Try it, may be over time they will wake up by themselves. Regarding the infections, is she using a public toilet somewhere, either in school or anywhere else, I used to get infections due to using public toilets, then I stopped using public toilets and would wait until I got home, a little difficult at times but better than the infections

You're kids are not the only one's. My son will be 11 in a few months and still consistently wets the bed. I know it's very frustrating and not any fun for them either. My son is getting to the age that he's very self- conscious of it. At his last physical in August I asked his doctor what I could do. His answer was "It's very common. You could give him hormones that would stop it or you could wait until he hits pueberty and he'll eventually grow out of it". I felt alot better after hearing that. I, of course, chose NOT to give him any medications. It's difficult yes, but I'm very confident that he will grow out of it. Another one of the ped's questions to me was if anyone in my or my husbands family had the same problem growing up. Actually, I have a nephew and neice that both had the same problem into their teens. So, keep the pull-ups in stock and let time takes its course.

How old are you children? I had a friend whose daughter had this same problem and he took her to doctors too who said the same thing. And she really did outgrow the problem. Sometimes a childs bladder doesn't grow fast enough to keep up with thier other growth. It should catch up in good time I would think.

I had that problem when I was little due to an immature bladder. That could be the case for them but there is also an inherited desease that can cause it. My friend's kids have it. I'm not quite sure what it is but there is an operation they can get. She told me it's like you can't empty your bladder all the way so you tend to wet the bed. Check with some other doctors about these things. They might just grow out of it like me. I think I took medicine for ADD and somehow it helped my bladder mature. I don't think I stopped wetting the bed until I was almost in my teens. IT was quite embarassing.

try to be more relaxed about this as children pick up on our anxieties very easily and this could actually affect them, think how often you want to go when you are nervous. lot of children do this until they are quite old but the more relaxed about it yu can be the better. you may need to cut down on the drinks they have in the evening and make sure they are not hungry when they go to bed as hunger for some reason makes us go more, it's like when you first diet and the body loses water first and we are always having to go.

My cousin had this problem up until she was about 10years of age. By this stage it was starting to embarrass her as she could not sleep over in friends etc as she was afraid she would wet the bed. My aunt brought her to the nurse in the local clinic to see what she could do. Basically as far as I remember (this was bout 8/9yrs ago), she gave her a chart with the days of the week wrote out. She was told to write on it each morning, put a W under the day if she woke up wet and put a D if she was dry, so that she could see exactly when and how often she wet the bed. She also told her not to give her any drinks after 6pm. This chart thing seemed to work a bit as in the first week or so, every day was a W. Then gradually D's started to appear until she had 5/6 days a week with D. For her it was kind of like a star chart, a child likes to see loads of stars on their chart, she wanted to see loads of D's on her chart. MAybe you could try that. If you do, let me know how you get on.

Its really different for every child my first son was out of diapers and has never wet the bed since he was 2 but on the other hand I have my second son who was much much later out of diaper at 3 wet the bed till 5-6 and my brother wet the bet till he was 15 they will grow out of it and it may be a matter of there body not waking itself up to get up and go :)
