Answer 1

don't worry it's normal i had the same thing. Buy him underjams or goodnights. It goes away eventually i had it till i hit my period don't worry. hope i could help

Answer 2

It is maybe just a simple case of him being a deep sleeper.  If he is not doing it every single night then I would say that he is not doing it for attention.  Some kids can wet the bed up to age 10 and sometimes older, and nothing medically seems to help including bed alarms. They just seem to grow out of it.  I used to wet the bed til about 8, and it was just that I was a heavy sleeper and would dream that I had wakened up and went to the toilet, but woke up while peeing to discover that I was still in bed.  Keep with the pull ups, no-one needs to know and it gives him that bit of security at night.  The last thing he needs is to have a big deal made about it or to have it cast up.  This will only make the problem worse.  Tell him its ok, you know he did not mean it.  Let him shower in the morning and strip his bed and say no more about it.  But as long as he is wearing the pull ups he does not pee, so just let him keep wearing them.  They also make him feel safe.  GOOD LUCK

Answer 3

My 5 year old still does too occassionally - it took a while to work it out, but it happens during that pre-dawn hour when it gets really cold and she'll always kick the blankets off.  I've got a little oil heater in her room now with a thermostat, so when that hour comes the cold nip is taken out of the air.  Seems to work.

I also ask her every night when I put her to be "what happens if you need to go to the toilet?" and she says "I'll wake up and come to your room and wake you up....".  I think getting her to verbally reinforcement that helps too, she does occassionally still wake me up ... which is preferable to washing more sheets.

Good luck, you're definitely not alone!

Answer 4

I wet the bed until I was 15 and some people do it into their 20s. it is normal. in fact one in eight people wet their beds to the age of 4. it could be physical but also their is a psychological diagnosis for this and he may need to see a therapist. however I would talk to your medical doctor first.

Answer 5

try making them pee before bed.

Answer 6

My nephew still wets the bed everynight and he will be 10. Your son may have some type of bladder control problem. What they do for my nephew is he isn't allowed anything to drink a few hours before bed and also has to go to the bathroom numerous times before bed. That way hopefully everything is all dried up and he wont wet. I'd concider seeing a dr. if I were you. He may need meds to help him. Good luck.

Answer 7

Your son will probley out-grow this. I had the same problem when I was a kid, and out-grew it. It may take some time. The worse thing you can do is spank him or punish him. Its not his fault! My parents spanked me and it has affected me through out my life. Just keep doing what your doing, no drinking late,etc... he'll out-grow it.

Answer 8

yes i believe it is normal it has something to do with his blatter make sure he doesnt drink to much soda or juice. dont let him drink anything an hour before he goes to bed.

also you could wake him up in the middle of the night  to use the bathroom

Answer 10

I was told to not give my son liquids after 4 pm and then wake him to go to the toilet when we went to bed ( around 11). It seemed to work for us. You can also try giving him salty chips about 1 hour before bed.
