Night time bedwetting, it get's better with time.

As a parent who has potty-trained a child many of us know that night time bed-wetting is sometimes the last hurdle to clear before you can claim victory over diapers. Many children don't attain night-time control for several years after they have complete control during the day. Nocturnal enuresis, more commonly known as bed-wetting, occurs when a sleeping child cannot control his or her urinating at night. Night time wetting is not considered abnormal until it has reached an age 5 and over. Sometimes the situation resolves on its own.

There are millions of children as of today that still suffer from Nocturnal Enuresis(bed-wetting) as we speak it seems to be raising everyday...remember children are born every second of a minute everyday. If your child is five years old and still wetting the bed at night he is not alone. Enuresis occurs in 15 to 20 percent of all 5-year-old children, 10 percent in 7-year-olds.


Therefore, an estimated five to six million children are affected by bed-wetting at the age of 5. many adolescents(age 15) still wet at night as well. At least twenty percent of children with this problem have some element of daytime wetting.


Always keep in mind that most cases sometimes can resolve spontaneously without specific treatment,sometimes medical attention might be needed also! Bed-wetting is not harmful to your child in any way other than its impact on self-esteem. If your child is embarrassed to attend camp or a sleepover, you may want to talk with your pediatric urologist about therapies that include behavior modification (i.e. restriction of fluids after 6 pm), conditioning therapy (enuretic alarm)can be helpful as well.

The most important thing as a parent we can do is assist our children.... be PATIENT! You see, once you explain to your child what is occurring and support them with lots of Love and support...I believe it would be much easier for the child to overcome bed-wetting!
