Bed Wetting Solutions
June 30, 2008
Bedwetting is common in children, and can affect adolescents too. It affects twice as many boys as girls, and can cause embarrassment and stress for children and their families. But help is available. When your child is a bed wetter, it may feel like you are the only ones in the world going through this, but Nocturnal Enuresis (the technical term for what we all know as bedwetting) affects many children.
In fact, studies have shown that as many as 5 to 7 million children in America alone wet the bed on a regular basis. It is very common, and can affect children even into their teens. Infants would’ve eventually grown out of diapers and use the toilet, but this fact never implies that we shouldn’t potty train our kids.
Kids stay dry during the day because they’ve been potty trained. Kids wet the bed because they haven’t received nighttime potty training. Kids should receive nighttime potty training to help them achieve a dry bed. Bedwetting can last for years and only 15% of the kids outgrow bedwetting each year.
Urinating before going to sleep empties the bladder, however, it doesn’t help the bed wetter respond to a full bladder while sleeping. (The body continues urine production while the bed wetter is asleep.) This should be done so the bedwetting child can learn to respond to a full bladder closer to morning. Before taking any step, parents should know that bladder control isn’t something we’re born with – in babies the bladder automatically empties when it’s full. But with time, children gradually learn to recognize when their bladder feels full and to control it.
In 99% of all bedwetting cases, the root cause is an inherited deep-sleep disorder. The brain sleeps so deeply that when the brain is signaled by the urinary system, the brain cannot respond. The bladder empties involuntarily, causing a small bladder capacity and a weak and insensitive sphincter muscle (The sphincter muscle is the muscle that holds the urine inside the bladder).
Try to make discussions about his bedwetting as private as possible, between you and your child. Make sure siblings don’t tease, and that this is a strictly private family matter not to be discussed with outsiders. Reassure your child that the problem will eventually correct itself, but until then ask him to help decide how to handle the nightly mess. Most children are ‘dry’ during the day by the age of three and most are ‘dry’ at night by school age. However it’s considered normal for children to occasionally be wet at night (and in the daytime) until they’re about five.
