Question

How can i get my 4 year old from wetting the bed?

Answer 1

The average age to stop wettiing the bed is 4-6 yrs old.  So I wouldn't worry about it a whole lot.  There are somethings you can do to try to help the situation.

1) Limit drinks after 7pm

2) Wake up child around 11pm or so to go potty

3) Try not allow more than water to be drank after dinner

There's a lot more and I'm sure others will give you all kinds of tips here.

Answer 2

Like most of the other suggestions:

Limit the amount of drinks after 6pm.

Wake you child up in the middle of the night and take him/her to the toilet.  You will only have to do this for a month or two and they will get used to waking up by themselves and going without you.

Give a treat on the nights where he/she doesn't wet the bed

Cheers

Answer 3

As well as following Eli's advice I would also suggest you talk to your GP. If your childs bed wetting continues it may have a medical cause & these can be solved easily, sometimes all it needs is a tablet to be taken.

Also, never scold your child for bed wetting, it actually makes the situation worse.

Answer 4

it's normal, if you stress them over it it could cause anxieties later in life, just get some goodnites until it stops

Answer 5

The technique that worked most for me was toilet at bedtime and toilet with waking at my bedtime too so that my younger daughter got used to the feeling of waking for a wee in the night.

Answer 6

wetting the bed is normal....it ceases as you get older but here are a few tips:

1-make sure your kid goes to the bathroom b/f they go to bed-even if they say they don't have to.

2-try to regulate water a bit-don't give them a big juice cup before bedtime basically.

3-Pampers, etc, pullups-y'know, nighttime protection.

:) good luck
