Help with Bedwetting?
Answer:
hey, relax I was like 9 when i stoped wetting the bed. the doctor just told us no fluids before bed time and to try using either ask a doctor for pills or use depends (I know they sound like old lady) but it will work. Kids grow out of things at differnt ages. I do think its good that you do have him go to the bathroom before bedtime, and maybe even if you think about it maybe wake him in the night and have him try to go potty.
Bed wetting happens to a lots of kids. So don't worry the Dr. is
right they will grow out of it. My son always had that problem as
well and the Dr. told me not to give him any fluids after 6:00 pm
every night. You must stick to this plan or they will never stop wetting the bed. Make sure they Pee before they go to bed, make
sure they go even though they say I don't have to go. And NO means NO when they ask for something to drink. They can sometimes exercise their muscle by holding his urine in for at
least 5 minutes at home before he relieves himself. Well my son
was his age (11) and still wearing goodnites, but his friends always wanted him to sleep over and he was embarrassed to have
sleep over because of that. Till one day he told me that he was going to control his bladder which he did and till that day he learned how to control himself. That is all they need to do is learn
how to control their bladder and by doing that is holding it, to make his muscle's stronger. I didn't have problems with my girls
they would control themselves, which was good.
Bedwetting is a common condition and frustrating for both children and their parents. Well meaning individuals, including doctors often will tell you to wait until they grow out of it. But, by the time your children are school aged (i.e. 6 and up) there is a simple cure - which will help to speed up the development of their ability to sleep dry through the night. It is a bedwetting alarm - a simple moisture sensing device that you can purchase online (and a few drug stores).
Forget about restricting fluids - you want your child to awaken to a full bladder whether they drink a little or alot. Bedwetting alarms are often misunderstood so it is important to understand how they work when you purchase one. You don't need a prescription.
I recommend the Malem brand alarms. They are the best on the market and most children can get permanently dry in about 8 to 10 weeks.
