Anyone have any ideas to stop bedwetting in twins - both are doing it!!?
Answer:
There isn't much you can do to stop bed wetting. There are several reasons children wet the bed the most common is that their bladders haven't grown fast enough to catch up to the rest of their body. Second they sleep deeper than we do due to the fact they play hard and don't have the stress we do keeping them up all night. If you're worried take them to their doctor and see if there is a medical reason.
How old are they? Maybe they aren't ready yet. My daughter wore pull ups at night until she was 5 but was dry in the day at 2
Sometimes kids wet beds when they are under stress, when they have something that worries them or the parents fight etc.
Not aimed at you but those could be reasons.
My son wet his bed for quite a while, we made a habit of giving him his last drink at eight in the evening and by nine when he went to bed he would have had a wee. Then we woke him at 11 or 12 at night took him to the toilet and he would then have a wee as well. That stopped him wetting the bed.
Please dont punish them when they wet the bed ok.:))))
My son has the same problem, the doctor told me to start worrying about in when he was around 5 or 6. The doctor told me the big thing is no fluids after 6 or 7 p.m. Also make sure they go to the bathroom before going to bed. Then wake them up around 11:00 or so and have them go again. If that does not work the doctor also gave me this little machine, you attach it to their underwear and when moisture hits that an alarm will go off and wake up your child, before he or she is totally wet and will train them to get up in the middle of the night.
My oldest was potty trained, even at night, at 18 months. What worked for him, was not letting him have any liquids too close to bed time. Also, as weird as this may sound, we didn't even put him in pull ups since this just re enforced the idea that it was okay to pee in your bed. We told him it was not okay and that big people get up and go to the bathroom. After a few times of misstakes, which we never got upset about, he learned that it was a far greater reward to wake up and go to the bathroom at night, however, groggy and tired, then to wake up wet and stinky.
Good luck! :)
When i broke my son from wetting the bed i wouldn't let him have anything to drink after 7:30 and i would get him up at least twice in the middle of the night to get him used to getting up when he had to go. I also made a reward chart. For every day that he hadn't wet in the bed i would let him put a sticker on the chart and for the first two weeks if he could go without wetting in the bed i would reward him with a small toy or taking him to see a movie. He only wet in the bed one time. I had taking him to see the pediatrician and they told my that the child will stop wetting in the bed when the parents stopped wetting the bed.
Many young children wet the bed. Have your pediatrician check them out. There may be some medications that might help. If not its a matter of time. Most children quit wetting by around 12.
You didnt say if they were dry before? Usually its simply laziness in young children and something as simple as star charts can work. Also check the route to the bathroom isnt too dark etc and making them reluctant to go, perhaps a potty in the bedroom so they dont have to go far or a night light in the hall. Most children go through this phase, they will get through it with gentle praise and persuasion x
Frequent bedwetting is common in children up to the age of six. The child should not be put under pressure if younger than six - children do not wet the bed on purpose.
Approximately 15 to 20 per cent of all five- and six-year-olds wet the bed and most of them are boys. With teenagers, the figure is 2 to 3 per cent up to 14 and 1 per cent at 15 or over.
