5yr old daughter wet everynight
October 29th, 2009
My 5 1/2 year old is stillin nappy pants at night only ever having 2 or 3 dry nights . My 3 yr old son is showing signs that he might be dry at night soon.
I don’t want to praise my son or make a big deal of it at the risk of upseting my daughter.
Should I just see how things go with her or should I be seeking medical advise?? She did see a dr at the hospital about 1 yr ago as she’d had a couple of urine infections in a short time. but nothing was wrong.

It certainly can’t hurt to take her to the GP who will be able to run appropriate tests just to rule out any possible issues. Your biggest issue right now is just making sure that she is healthy then you can put some of the tips listed in other sections of the site into play. Cutting down on nighttime liquids etc. will often do the trick. It is such a juggling act sometimes worrying about praising one at the expense of the other. Praise your son quietly on his own but when your daughter is out of earshot, you don’t want a situation where he feels that bedwetting is a way to get additional attention from Mum. Good luck!
