Question

Answer 1

You really should take him to the doctors, there could be something wrong, sooner you get him to a doctor the better.

Answer 2

it is a genetic thing take him to the doc. i no they can do some thing cause that is in my family.

Answer 3

Our pediatrician has told us that it is very common for kids, especially boys, to have problems with nighttime incontinence.  Once they turn 8, if they're still having problems, they are referred to a team at the hospital that specializes in this condition.  The child has a physical exam and then the team works with the child and the family to resolve the problem.  If you want more information on this program, please email.  I have also found useful information at:

http://bedwettingstore.com/

They sell bedwetting alarms (lots of them!), but also have lots use useful information and common misinformation.  I found it was really useful.

Answer 4

if its not a problem physically maybe its emotional

Answer 5

Some kids will wet the bed no matter what you do.  If it is bothering you then just have him wear diapers at night.  The bedwetting pants they sell leak a lot.  If you get plastic pants and cloth diapers they work best.  They are avaiable on the internet.  Your kid might not like the idea at first but you just have to lay down the law.  Dealing with wet diapers is much easier than all the trouble of changing sheets and pajamas.  It is the simplest way to go.

Answer 6

See your GP and maybe get a referal to see a psychiatrist it might best thing to do if all else has failed.

Answer 7

on an epsiode of george lopez, the t.v. show, the son, max, was wetting the bed and it turned out that it was because he had a urinary track infection, and/or something wrong with his kidneys. u should take yer son to a doctor, and maybe a psychologist.
