What is bedwetting?

What is bedwetting?Bedwetting is when your child urinates during the night while he/she sleeps. Your child's doctor may refer to bedwetting as primary nocturnal enuresis.Bedwetting is not a disease or condition- in fact,it's normal and very common for children under age 5 to wet the bed.Bedwetting is more common then we think.If your child is between ages 5 and 15 and still wets the bed at night,he or she is not alone. An estimated 5 to 7 million children in the U.S. alone wet the bed. And believe it or not bedwettingis more common for boys than girls.Should I worry about bedwetting?Bedwetting usually becomes a concern when a child older than 5 wets the bed more than two times a month. Most children who wet the bed are physically and emotionally healthy,but if bedwetting continues and is not addressed,it can negatively affect your child's social and emotional development.Again this is why I have focused so much on developing a timepiece devices that will help our children and adults.Well until next time support your child with words of encouragement!!!!

This too shall pass.
