Date Posted 30/10/2009	bedwetting Does it really depend on how much liquid has been drunk throughout the day as we always limit the last drink in the evening to about 7pm and always make sure the children go the toilet before bed and more often then not there is still wet nappies in the morning. My daughter is 7 and my son is 5. I never had this problem with my 12 year old. I also have a 7 month old baby who I am hoping wont need nappies at night at age 5 and 7!

Date Posted 29/10/2009	Age To Start Trying For Dry Night We have 3 children, & our oldest boy is 4 years 8 months & for the last 3 months has been dry at night. Our problem is with younger brother who is 2 yrs 10 months & he wants to be like his older brother & go without a nappy at bedtime (he has been dry during day for 5 months), we didn’t want to make an issue of him not wearing a nappy – so we encouraged him & let him be like his brother, not at all worried as there is protective mattress covers etc., but he does wet the bed & is really upset by this, even though we let him know it’s not a problem & we give him re-assurance, but is there a better way to handle it, cos he gets so upset, & I do think he is a little young yet for to be dry in the night, but I don’t want to force him into drynites if he wants to be like his brother.

Date Posted 16/10/2009	If your child starts wetting the bed again. Getting through bedwetting can be tough the first time and when your child starts wetting the bed again it can be really upsetting. There are many factors that can cause your child to start wetting the bed again. From starting school to a new sibling and other less obvious stressors. This is often a very difficult time for children and can be very upsetting for them, and you. Its important to communicate to your child that it is not their fault and that together you will get through this. Just like you did the first time. Tags: children, school, sibling View the Page

Date Posted 06/09/2009	Advanced Techniques Lifting: When they go to bed, many parents take their child to the toilet. One way is to wake the child, so they walk to the toilet, have a wee and goes back to bed: but they might not go straight back to sleep. Another way is to lift the sleeping child, sit them on the toilet and encourage them to have a wee. Then, the child can be carried back to bed. Reward and learning star chart: A sticker chart is a good way to reward your child when they do some of the things that should eventually lead to a dry night. The stickers should be for doing things like the wee123 before bed, helping change the bed or even drinking water rather than fizzy drinks rather than having a dry night. Rewarding these little acts should build up a good behaviour pattern that will eventually help with the bedwetting. Alarms: Alarms work by waking up the child as soon as they start wetting the bed. After 3-5 months, the child will be conditioned to wake up before they start wetting the bed. These devices only work with motivated children over 7 years old. Tablets: For long term control of bedwetting, alarms are the treatment of choice as long as your child is motivated. However, in the short term, tablets are often recommended but only for children older than 7. The medicine your child will be offered is called desmopressin, and it comes either as a tablet to swallow or as a tablet that dissolves under their tongue. It works by reducing the amount of urine they produce, and is given at bedtime. It can be especially usefull to prevent accidents when your child is away from home, such as on sleepovers, school trips or holidays.

Date Posted 06/09/2009	An End in Sight Be realistic: if your child is under 5 years old, and otherwise healthy, then bedwetting isn’t unusual; it may take time, however, for your child to be dry through the night: don’t expect results overnight. Improve access to the toilet: if your child sleeps in a bunk bed, make sure they sleep in the bottom one – or leave a light on at night so they can find their way to the toilet. Keep a diary: write down what they eat and drink each day for 2-4 weeks, as well as their mood and any bedwetting incidents. Are there any patterns? Is there anything your child eats or drinks on the nights they wet the bed? Does your child wet the bed when they are upset? If you can identify any bedwetting triggers, you can reduce them. Explain how a bladder works: tell your child it’s like a balloon filling up with wee. During the day, they can tighten the muscle at the bottom to stop the wee coming out. At night, their brain is fast asleep, and sometimes the muscle can’t hold it any longer: so they wet the bed. It’s not their fault – and you can help them strengthen their bladder muscle. Wee 1, 2, 3: many children go to bed with a half full bladder. Encourage them to wee 1, 2, 3 times to push the last drops of wee out. Reduce fluid intake before bed: never, though, restrict drinks during the day. If your child is thirst at night, let them have a sip or two of water. Don’t give them drinks with caffeine (like many fizzy drinks), tea or hot chocolate. Make sure your child isn’t constipated: one in four children who wet the bed also have constipation. Give yourself peace of mind: use waterproof covers for the mattress and duvet, and absorbent, quilted sheets. Using Pyjama pants – like DryNites – can make your child more comfortable during the night. They can be used in conjunction with other techniques. Use them when wetting the bed would be a major problem – if you child is on holiday, having a sleepover or if you and/or your child are exhausted and need a break.

Date Posted 06/09/2009	Myths If your child wets the bed, it’s because you’re too lazy to teach them. If your child wets the bed, there’s something physically or emotionally wrong with them. Children should be dry by the time they start primary school – yes, during the day, but not necessarily at night. If your child sleeps deeply, they’re bound to wet the bed – there are a number of reasons as to why children wet the bed. Children need a drink before they go to bed – drinking during the day is essential, to keep your child healthy. A drink just before bed might mean a full bladder just as they’re going to sleep.
