you might actually want to check your family doctor regarding that. Some children that wets in the bed actually have a small bladder which is not developed to hold nighttime urine. |
||
|
||
|
-just an addition, sometimes the nerves associated with the bladder are also slower to develop so a child is not able to recognize that they already have a full bladder when they are sleeping. |

It could be either a small bladder or the child produce more urine than a normal sized bladder can hold. The kidneys will do this if there is too much intake of liquids before bedtime. |
||
|
||
|
Diuretic foods, such as soda and chocolate, or medicines that are taken before sleeping can also contribute to the increased amount of urine produced by the kidneys. |

You might also need to take your child to his pediatrician for a complete physical examination. Diseases such as diabetes or a urinary tract infection can also cause increased tendency of urination. |

at CarolineReynolds - Don't worry too much. By five years old, most children have successfully stopped wetting the bed without any intervention. Among those children who still wet the bed after the age of six, most will complete the bed-wetting stage and stay dry at night within the next year without any treatment. |

that's right! Don't be discouraged if your son wets the bed every night. It is a challenge that a parent-child team can overcome through diligence, patience, and if needed, medical intervention. :) |
