Bed wetting?

Question

My 9 year old son wets the bed on and off. He is really upset about it so i bought him night pants for bigger kids and he is happy to wear them does anyone have any ideas

Answer 1

There is a pad you can put under the person that wakes you up when you begin to wet the bed.

Your son will probably outgrow this soon.  My brother had enuresis until he was about 12.  My parents had him checked for medical and emotional problems and nothing wrong was found. He just started doing it less and less until it was not an issue any longer.

The cause can be as simple as having a small bladder and being overtired.

There is also a medication called Tofranil that  may alleviate enuresis,  if he is having bad self esteem problems over this .

It only treats symptoms and not the cause so you would want to weigh the benefits  of self esteem issues against the possible side effects of medication.

Answer 2

is he a busy child? cause sometimes your concentrating on other things.
