Night Time Bed Wetting. - North Conway,NH

My daughter is 4 and I just got her out of pull-ups at night by getting her up before I went to sleep and asked her if she had to go to the bathroom. I also, had her change her panties, clothes and bedding so that she knew the hassel that I went through to get her to realize that it is a pain. She also has learned when she has to go so she gets up to go anywhere from 11 to 2 at night. He will get the hang of it with time, he has to be ready to do it.

Have you tried taking your child to the potty before you go to bed? We did that with both boys. Our younger son still wears a pull-up at 4.5, but he is on the Autism Spectrum and is also a very sound sleeper. I was just happy that the daytime training was over. My older one decided to get rid of pull-ups around 4.5 and wakes himself up to use the potty (he's 6.5, now, and there have been no accidents since then).
My advice... give things time, could be something going on at school or a transition back from vacation. Hope things work out as they usually tend to.

Night time bed wetting is very common for children under 6 years. Boys are more prone to ENURISIS, or chronic night wetting, than girls. If you have tried having potty time before bed and limited late evening fluid intake, the chances are that the child has a medical condition. Shaming or punishing the child for the extra work caused by his or her wetting will not be helpful. If the problem persists for more than a few weeks and is not helped by the two obvious strategies, please talk to your pediatrician. There are treatments and other helps available.
Most often, the problem is corrected by the time the child reaches puberty. We tried lots of stretegies with my middle son, before seeing a doctor. I wish we had asked for help sooner. The first medication worked like a magic potion! Within a few months, his bladder was able to function normally all night!

Good luck to you and your child!

I recently had this problem with my 5 year old. One of the things we would do is wake him up to go to the bathroom before we went to bed around 10 or 11. This helped a little too. However, he also might not be ready to give up the pull-ups at night. Some kids are great during the day, but sleep so soundly that they truly don't feel the pee.

We actually put my 5 year old back in pull-ups because I was tired of washing rubber mats and sheets. He wasn't pleased with it, but it helped. That partnered with waking him up at night and limiting his liquids in the evening worked. He is a sound sleeper so it was truly training his body to know that he had to pee.

Good luck.

i went throught hat but my son was about 3 and we just stoped giving him liquids after dinner. and this would hold him off till about 5 in the morning. and i would wake up with the alarm and carry him to the bathroom tell him to go he would and then i would put him back to bed adn he was fine. he got used to this and started doing this on his own untill his bladder matured a little more. although i will say even at 4 now he has an occaisional accident if he drank too much to late. i think the real thing is no liquids after a certain time. and just realize that there bladders aren't mature enough to just hold the urine. and maybe just keep him in the pull ups at night untill he can wake up on his own or get used to you waking him up and asking him to go. it did work for us.

We had this same problem with our son. The solution was as simple as cutting off his liquids at least an hour before he went to bed and then waking him up to go to the bathroom right before we went to bed. As he got older his body grew to be able to handle over night. But in the meantime just those two things saved alot of laundry.
