Bed wetting? How do you get kids to stop. My daughter is a little older than the average bed wetter but she has trauma from her biological parents (PTSD) and she gets bad dreams that cause her to be so stressed and wet the bed. She wets the bed nearly every night and we had to put her in diapers because it was just too much cleaning pee pee sheets EVERY night. We tried no water before bed and going to the bathroom before bed, but it just isn't working out well. Any techniques you parents out there use to stop bed wetting?
I used to wet the bed past the age of 15 and I wore diapers to bed every night until I was dry. You just can't stop bed wetting. Most of the time is either hereditary or the bladder is immature (slow growing) and it takes time to out grow the stage. My son is almost 5 and wets the bed nightly. I do the same thing right now and put a diaper on him every night. I would continue what you are doing with diapering at night until she gets past this stage. Many kids wet the bed and wear diapers to bed, it's just something that that is really not discussed but you know happens to a multitude of children. Diaper manufacturers would not be making diapers in the larger sizes if there was not a need for it. I would not make a big deal out of it. Stick with diapers and everyone will get a restful nights sleep.
My sister was still wetting the bed at 13. My parents read or heard something about a chiropractic adjustment for the hips. They took her to a chiropractor who did a hip adjustment and voila! no more bed wetting. The downside was that they had to take her whenever the adjustment let loose and she would start wetting the bed again. She did eventually grow out of it though.
Talk to the doctor. My son is 12 and he still wets the bed. The doctor prescribed the generic version of DDAVP. As long as he gets his meds, he doesnt pee the bed. This medicine helps the bladder muscles be strong thru the night. Its just a suggestion, but definatly ask the doc about DDAVP.
it could just be something hereditary or her bladder just hasnt continued to grow at the same rate as the rest of her body. There are plenty of products out there to help keep her dry. i know for a fact that pampers underjams or goodnites are great pull-up style protection that are designed for teens and tweens who still suffer from bedwetting. if she doesnt fit into those or is a heavy wetter i would suggest depends. they make diapers for older people who suffer from urinary problems. i use both goodnites and depends and found both to be very helpful for bedwetting. wetting the bed is such an embarrassing problem but atleast with pull-ups or diapers she will be able to sleep better and not have to worry about sleeping in wet sheets all the time. i know it helps me get a good nights sleep and takes off some of the worry about wetting the bed.
Make her sleep on the floor. Her bed won't get wet that way, and it's a whole lot easier to dry the floor than the sheets. That was meant as a joke, but instead try comforting her every night, i mean talk to each other about her day before she sleeps, make her drink milk to calm her nerves, you get what i mean. If stress is what causes her bed-wetting problems, then you should deal with her stress first. if that didn't work.....
