Question

My daughter wets her bed everydat at night.Pls any suggestion?

Answer 1

I'm sure you've tried this but, Don't give her anything to drink before she goes to bed about 45min.  Take her to the bathroom right before you put her to bed.

Answer 2

sounds like you should limit her liquids like nothing after 630 pm, make her sit on the potty for a little while before bed.  and when you go to bed get her up to go again. and i would maybe some night diapers until you can trust that she wont wet her bed. once those are dry for a while then i would go back to underwear... if it doesn't stop maybe she has a kiddney infection, or bladder problem.

Answer 3

Limit her drinks, and make sure she goes to the bathroom right before bed time. Never punish her, becasue I doubt very seriously she is doing it on purpose. Good Luck

Answer 4

Nothing to drink after 7 at night.Put some wet proof padding on her bed,and just give it some time.Also make sure she is going to the bathroom right before bed.I went through he same thing,and my daughter finally stopped.GOD-bless

Answer 5

How old is she? And is this recent, or something new?

Since you are in the grade-schooler section, I am going to guess she is at least 5 years old. ... The suggestions above are good. Limiting drinks and making sure she goes to the potty before bed. Although, I can't make my kid go with nothing to drink. When she was younger, I would let her have a little to drink at night so her mouth wouldn't be dry. But for the last hour or so of the day - she didn't get much.

You really should speak with her doctor about this. Her bladder may just be a bit small. If that's the case - it will probably solve itself in time. She also might just be a hard sleeper. If this is the case, setting an alarm and making her get up once or twice in the night should help. But this could also be a sign of infection. (especially if it started in the last few days or weeks) If that's the case - she will need antibiotics to clear it up.

So my suggestions ... Talk to a doctor about this and if you don't already have them, consider getting mattress protectors and goodnights underpants for her. If you get a nice sheet protector, you can put a regular sheet on top of it and let her use it even after she outgrows wetting the bed. I like to keep them on my bed in case drinks get spilled.

Answer 6

no liquids 2 hrs before bed.

plastic matress cover under sheets

bed wetters underwear (either disposable or thicker cotton washable undies)

and you might even get her up to potty once before YOU go to bed later in the evening.

consult w/a doc just to rule out any other issues such as UTI.

give it time, most kids grow out of it eventually.

Answer 7

I had this problem for such a long time... longer than normal, unfortunately, but most children grow out of it. Really, it's all about her self-control and being aware when she needs to go that she needs to wake up and go to the bathroom on her own in the middle of the night. It's sort of 'instinct'. I also recommend the tips everyone had offered above, but it should pass as she gets older.

Answer 8

I don't know how old your daughter is but my daughter has only just stopped wetting the bed and she is 6 and a half.  We tried EVERYTHING.  We tried the no drinks thing, the sticker charts, ignoring it, telling her to strip the bed but nothing worked.  It would not make a difference if she had a nappy on or off she would be dry some nights and wet others.

She just suddenly stopped.  She had a cousin who wet his bed until he was about 9 and just suddenly stopped and his family had tried everything too.

All i can say is that you should make sure that you kid is happy and feels safe in her bed.  That you do not tell her off or make her feel bad as i bet she feels bad already.  That you continue to use pull nappies or pull ups if you have tried for a good week and it makes no difference (some kids do stop doing it once you take off the nappies and they can feel they are wet but my little girl never did).  

i am sure that it will just stop when she is ready but try not to worry.  I put myself through h**l thinking that she had some sort of worry that she wasn't telling me or something but i am now sure that she just took a little longer to develop an awareness of when her bladder was full than an lot of kids, although you would be surprised how many kids wet the bed but it is just not talked about.

Just be patient and understanding, i really don't agree with the punishing of children for this.  Don't make a big deal out of it and see how it goes.  Good luck.

Answer 9

I know a lot of people have suggested different things, BUT,

My 2 younger sisters had this problem when they were younger. My youngest sister even continued the problem until she was like...in 5th grade or so. It was miserable for her. My parents would have an alarm set for halfway through her sleeping time and they would wake her up to go to the bathroom....poor kid

YOU NEED to go to the doctor about this. Your daughter could have a small bladder, or her muscles down there have had some problems developing.

I work with children at summer camps (going into 4th and 5th grade) and several of the children that come and see me actually have this problem. It is a week long camp and they do spend the night, so several of the kids bring their pull ups with them and there is no shame there. Other kids I have had do have medicine that they take right before bed that helps them with that problem.

DO NOT take away toys and what not as someone suggested. That would be SO unfair to your daughter, especially since you do not yet know if the condition is medically related or not!

Best of luck!

Answer 10

Well, tell her if she wets her bed she will lose a toy,TV    time,ect.That should give her the signal that you dont like it when she wets the bed at night .Or something else you could do is go to the store and buy one of those mats that you put under the sheets so it doesnt sink through the matress . One more idea is 2 keep a paper log  so you can write down what she drinks and when she drinks it  and in the summer ask the babysiter,daycare,or childcare to write down what they drink there and tell her you can have so many (#123456789) drinks  a day.Hope this helps and if it doesnt that ask your doctor
