Help me stop her bed wetting

Honestly, I have what is called Infantile Bladder Syndrome, my bladder did not grow with the rest of my body so its too small. I used to wet the bed up until I was an adult. It was super embarrassing. I was on medicine called Ditropan when I was a child. And that was the only thing that helped to control it honestly. I have never seen anything naturally to help it. I know how hard it was for me growing up with this, I feel bad that she has the same problem...I hope she outgrows it faster than I did! =(

It is mental problem. When a child is about less than 2-3 years old he cannot control on urination, like their bladder upon to feel stress began to urge and urination is started. But when he grow and his mental power is developed properly, their mind is able to control his urination according to his will. But sometimes it happens that their did not develop properly, due to some reasons like physical stress or mental depression, then that site in their did not work properly and that habit remains in a child like infants. As did control on urination. This effect is automatically fix in intelligent children. But children with weak mental power is difficult to control without a doctor.

I haven't experienced that problem with my daughter, to be honest, but I'm going to share with you a natural way I've heard from other mothers that helped. They just put lambskin on the bed sheet and they say it worked miracles. And another thing - don't give her any fluids after 6 p.m., that matters, too. And, definitely take her to a therapist because the problem might not be physiological, but somehow psychic and can be easily removed with several sessions. I hope I was helpful.

Hi pomwango hello friend it is a common problem .I think we can try to restrict it by taking less liquid content during night time and more in day time,ask her to empty the bladder to max before going to bed and try to encourage her that she can over come it gradually .All the best

My son still has accidents as well. We tried the highest dose of medicine and t didn't wor. We just eliminate all fluids after a certain time and t helps. We also believe changing hs diet had a huge impact on how often he wet the bed. Good luck.

This make a little sacrifice on your part but could be a habit after soem time... Ask her to pee at the middle of the night. I mean... A bit wake her up and ask her to pee, then. Go back to sleep. Don't talk to her, just wake her up, be with her in the toilet and wait for her to pee then bring h er back to bed. You should also tell her that you will wake her up at the middle of heer sleep just for her to pee. I don't know if this ok, but it might help

Our ten-year-old would do that if she did not pee before going to bed. So when it is time for her to sleep, I would require her to pee first and the problem never occurred again.

Bed wetting at that age is not normal. Haven't you tried consulting your pediatrician about it. There must be some underlying issues that needs to be looked into. Just to be sure, have her checked.

I know that I never had this problem after I was of age 3 or 4, I don't remember exactly. I was told that I wet the cloths of my father when they traveled in the bus but I was of a small age, and even when I was grown my mother and relative talked about this incident in front of others, just for the matter of laughing but I think it embarrassed me. It is not good to make the fun of such incident and specially in front of the other people than your family. It can result in some social phobias like pee shyness(Paruresis), which I suffer. So take it seriously and stop the sisters if they make the fun of her.

I think that "i find its beginning to take away her self esteem since her younger sister makes fun of her" can be a major problem, i think your daughter need an Improving confidence so she will fill better with herself and she need less stress, You need to talk to her and tel her it is o.k. and she as nothing to worry about and it will pass. And take her sister for a short talk and explain her that it is not nice to laugh at her

Well,what do the doctors say? Sounds like she has an immature bladder or weak muscles.Make sure she goes to the bathroom before she goes asleep and wake her up at least 1 time during the night to go to the toilet.

I have cousins and me actually had experienced that problem, when I was a kid my family told me to pee on the bathroom every time in ready to go to bed, and it works time by time. But well I have a cousin, she pee on the bed until this early age of 24 maybe? because she never trained to set rules by her parents. Its on you, you can still control your daughter, you just have to talk to her.

Id say at that age she must have a problem. Have you stopped letting her drink things 4-5 hours before bedtime there. Give it a try. Good luck...

I'm not sure if this is gonna work for her but you can advise her to pee before going to bed... If she drinks a lot before going to sleep, I suggest that she minimize that especially drinks that contain caffeine.. If she wants something to drink, make sure she consume it 2 hours before bedtime so it can already be eliminated from her body by peeing before sleeping. you can also try giving your child an easy access to the toilet or try using portable toilet. If she's still using diapers, it would be better to avoid using it to increase her motivation to get up...

There is a pad made for people with this problem. It goes on the bed, I believe under the bottom sheet. The pad contains sensors that sets off an alarm to awaken the sleeper when the first drop of urine hits it. There are exercises that train a person's muscles to better retain the urine. Your daughter should also abstain from caffeine (especially sodas) and any liquids at all at least 2 hours before bedtime, 4 hours would be even better. Make sure she voids immediately prior to retiring..

Bed wetting is a natural process and stops with age naturally. There is nothing to be serious about. However, if the wetting does not stop even in teenagers, then the parents are likely to get concerned, as you are. But at times the problem can persist with the individuals even when they are teens or have passed the general age when kids stop bed wetting. It all depends on the bladder and how sensitive it is. At times, it is not able to hold the urine for a long time and more importantly, it does not send a message to the brain that it is time to answer the call. It releases itself without any signal. I have a friend who was waiting his bed even when he crossed 20. So, I guess the problem can be in many people around the world and your daughter's case should not be considered too serious. With age she can be alert and overcome her problem. But yes, it can take a toll on self esteem and become a subject of mockery for others. Your second daughter is younger so I guess she has no idea of what she is saying to her elder sister. Try to dissuade her attention from these things. And have patience everything will be fine!

You can stop giving her any drink to her at night. This also means no water,no fruit juices and no milk just before bedtime. Ask her to pee before she hit the bed. Try this and you will be surprise. God bless.

Hello there pomwango! What a nice topic to talk about that you had started here. My youngest son who is eight year old is still wetting in the bed too. Not all night but most of the time but especially when he is tired during the day. I wish our children will surpass this soon. It is embarassing indeed and others may not understand them. A doctor friend told me to talk to my child about this and I help my son avoid things that makes him bed wet at night like not over playing, peeing before going to sleep or I wake him at night just for him to go to bed. My friend told me that it will be a long struggle but as a parent, I am willing to do things to help him without taking medications.

I was also like this when I was a kid. My mom disciplined me by not playing too much at night and urinate before going to bed, perhaps you can do the same. But if you feel you have done alternative ways, just try medicines, her bladder might really need it.

That really is a problem. Some children are really unable to train their bladder faster than the others do. In that case, I think it would be best to help her out by making scheduled urination. Like when it's night time, ask her to drink lots of water at around six. By 9 or 10pm before she goes to sleep she'll surely void and you will no longer worry about her wetting her bed again.
