My 3 year old still wets his bed

I have had the same problem with my 3 year old, and the doctor told me that her bladder just hasn't caught up to the rest of her yet. We tried everything from not letting her have stuff to drink after a certain time to having her go to the bathroom 3 or 4 times before she finally goes to bed. Nothing worked. So now we just a put a pull up on at night, and in the morning if she's dry we praise her. If she's wet we say nothing at all about it. That was one thing the doctor stressed was not to make a big deal if she did wet the bed, because it will have a reverse effect on the situation. And I know she doesn't do it on purpose. So I'm just thankful that she is fully potty trained for her waking hours and when her body is ready she won't need a pull up at night. Good luck and know your not the only one in the batlle of the pee pee.

I agree with the others that it is probably due to a physical condition. I suggest putting him in Pull-Ups so you don't have to change the sheets every day. I also wouldn't say too much about it. If he can't control it, discussing it won't help, but might hurt his self-esteem. Wish I could help more. My first night trained at 9 months (!!!), my next at 2, and my last one is still in Pull-Ups at just over 4. Every child is different.

That is quite normal, Some kids bladders just haven't matured enough yet thattheyb wake up when they need to urinate in the night, Just don't make a big deal out of it, or he will feel that he is being bad. Some kids bladders don't mature until they hit puberty, If he is still wetting the bed at age 5, take him to a doctor to get checked out, but he should soon stop on his own. However, my oldest grandson just stopped wettingthe bed a few weeks ago, and he is 11, and my brother wet the bed until he was 13 as did my older sister. Late bladder development seems to run in families, ask your mother-in-law what age your spouse stopped wetting the bed. If you didn't uwet the bed, chances are your spouse or a sibling did

The only thing I can think of is a reward chart, giving him a sticker every time he has a dry bed and after 5 nights of being dry he can have a bigger present. The other thing you could try is getting him up and taking him for a wee when you go to bed so he doesn't have to last so long. I admire you for keeping going though. The worst thing to do would be to go back to pull ups etc. It might be worth investing in some bigger training pants though that will absorb a bit more of the wee and might make the bed less wet.

My daughter is 2..she was having the same prob..no wetting during day but always wetting in nights...its been 7-8 days now that she hasnt wet the bed at night...because what i ve started doing is that whenever i feel she is turning again n again i take her to the bathroom,she in her sleep does it,i wash her hands n tell her to go to bed n i will be right back..when i go back to bed after 2-3 min,she is already fast asleep....so its better if u start taking ur kid even once in his sleep,in 4-5 days he will get used to it n might wake u up when u r in deep sleep...

Like many have already said, it's probably completely normal. I might mention it to the doctor though just to rule out a kidney or bladder infection. My cousin went the bed for years when we were kids (and her parents were awful & so mean about it) it turned out she had a low grade infection that had been going on for ages when it was finally looked into. My understanding (remember I was a little kid at the time to, and I may not be remembering it exactly as it was) but was that the infection wasn't causing her pain but it was making it so at night the bladder just released without her control.

Sounds normal to me. My 4 and 5 year olds both still wear pull-ups to bed and soak them almost every single night. They just don't wake up when they feel the urge to go. My oldest was dry at night way before she was potty trained during the day. She stopped going at night (12 hours sleeping) just after she turned 2 but I didn't realize it until she was 2 1/2. She has only had a couple accidents since she was a toddler. Every kid is just different.

my son is turning three this comeng august, like yours he still wee wee at night, to avoid our bed to be wet he still used diaper, In daytime he knows already what to do, he go to the comfort room or tell anybody to come along with him. but we have this experience that 7 days he did not used diapers at night and did not wet our bed, he got some rushes and dont want to wear diaper, good thing he did'nt also wee our bed. but when his rushes gone its back to his habit at night, so i have no choice just to put a diaper at night. it's really not easy to to place in this stage motherhood, all we need is lot of patience, can you imagine almost a big kid still wet their beds, our son is still a baby maybe they got a very good sleep at night they feel so sleepy so they wee wee at bed they still dont know about this matter, its good thing during daytime that they were trained and aware what the right thing to do when they feel wee wee.

I have a 10 year old step son that wets the bed. He also wets his clothes when he is awake. He has ADHD but that is know excuse. We have to remind him to go to the bathroom. We hope that he will grow out of it. We have tried everything but the doctors belive he will grow out of it.
