Subject:9 yr old wetting bed
|
My 9 yr old daughter still wetting bed! She had reflux when she was 3 and it's almost corrected itself - but doctors say that has nothing to do with wetting bed. We have eliminated drinks 2-3 hrs before bed, have her go bathroom before bed. Doctors say she is just sound sleeper. She's 9!!! It's embarrasing for her to spend the night anywhere so now she doesn't. We're on the 2nd mattress and we've even used mattress covers - but when they rip she doesn't tell us and it seeps through! I can't keep buying mattresses every week and laundry is sooooo overwhelming!!!!! She may go 3 weeks or so without doing it and then will start again. Recently it's been 8 straight days! There is nothing significant going on in our lives - (pretty boring actually!) so I can never pinpoint anything psychological. Any suggestions??? Am I the only one with an older child doing this???

Well my older brother was a bed wetter too, till I think 16 to 17. Also my older sister was till 16. I think you should maybe take her to a doctor or some kind of professional that will actually sit down with her and have a little talk. Usually kids cant control it which is the reason they wet the bed at night, but from what I've seen they seem to just get lazy and end up thinking its ok even after they can control it. I still don't think its a reason to get angry though, just try to deal with it where theres no hurt feelings, and don't make her feel bad for it. The way my brother stoped, was when my mom took him to see a specialist to find out what the problem was, and even though this sounds unprofessional I really think it was just to help him, and it did. She set down with him and asked him why he wet the bed, how often(every night) and so on. Then she just acted so shocked, "Your 16 and your wetting the bed? I just don't know, I find that so strange. I've never seen a child at your age still wetting the bed. I don't mean to offend you but I am really shocked by this."
She said it very calm, and I think he realized it was time to make a change. He never wet the bed again! From what it sounds like to me, your daughter can control her bladder, but if you do think for any reason she can't, don't force her to stop, because that will just cause stress on her, and really hurt her feelings.

Take your daughter to a chiropractor. Sometimes if they have a misalignment of their hips or lower back, the nerves leading to the bladder are compressed and the message isn't getting to her brain that she needs to go to the bathroom.
I have taken all three of my girls to my chiropractor for some reason or another. My oldest had ear infections, I had taken her to the regular doctor and the ENT and tried the chiropractor as a last resort before putting tubes in her ears. She has only had two ear infections in the 5 years since.
Good luck.

You need milk and dry dates. And it will surely solve your
problem. Boil the milk in utensil(pot/pan). Put the dry dates, let it boil for some time, dates will get soft. Later you can seive the milk or take out the dates. If your daughter like dates she can have it, no problem. Drinking that milk for few days will stop bed wetting.
This home remedy is applied and helpful to the kids in normal condition.

Subject:Bed wetter until 14
|
I was a bedwetter until I was 14 years old and then one day I just stopped. I didn't tell my mother when I wet my bed because I was ashamed and she punished me for it. I didn't spend the night at other kids houses and basically kept to myself. So, this very day I'm not sociable at all.
What I'm trying to say is that I know it may be hard on you but it's even harder on your daughter, especially her self-esteem. I suggest you just keep supporting her and don't let her see you get upset when she does wet her bed. I do think you should let her know it isn't acceptable when she doesn't tell you when she wet her bed, that way you know when you have to replace the plastic covering.
Also, you can try the medicine but it never worked for me or my friend who had the same problem. Hope this helps.

Oh, I know this can be frustrating & puzzling to you as well as embarrassing for your 9 y/o daughter. Sounds like you're doing all the "right" things to help her avoid the nighttime wetting. However, enuresis (bed wetting) can occur up until a child is 12 y/o.
Here's an article from the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry that may be helpful:

these things may sound simple but please try and let me know! Limiting drinks AT LEAST 2 hrs prior is good....you're already doing that. Child goes to be ----IN HER ROOM, as you have your bedtime chat, explain, "I KNOW you don't WANT to wet the bed so don't think I am upset with you but tonight as you are falling alseep try to RELAXE and picture yourself feeling as though you MIGHT have to pee later. Then IF you do, picture waking up, opening your eye, picture your feet touching the flor, picture yourself standing and walking to the bathroom, then getting to the toilet, taking down your pants etc and THEN sitting on the toilet with your eye wide OPEN and then and only then pee....go back thru the steps and get into a nice , dry cozy bed!" I tied this with my son and it worked like a charm. ONE other Very important part waS THIS - You put the child to be this way say 8 or 830 (WITH nite lite and nitelite in bathroom) and then when you go to bed, Say 11 ish ? You wake the child up!!! YES, you gently wake the child, take by hand and bring to the bathroom!!!!! This did work. I think if you folow through for 3-5 weeks you will be fine. GOOD LUCK!

I was a bedwetter until I had my first child at age 23. Yes..that's right..23. I did everything including the DDAVP. Nothing worked. I would stay awake all night just to try to avoid it. I went to a urologist when I was in highschool and they were not help other than saying that my bladder was half the size of everyone elses. The only thing that I can think of is that the pregnancy somehow stretched my bladder. I can go all day now and maybe urinate once or twice.
I feel for these kids who are wetting the bed (my oldest was a bedwetter and just stopped one day at age 11 and my youngest is 6 and still wetting). My husband was a bedwetter and did not stop until age 15. I do not know why doctors have not figured out why by now. It is such a common problem. Your self esteem is shot and you never want to spend the night away from home. DDAVP worked for my oldest son and my youngest cannot try it until he is 7 per the doctor. Just love your kids through it and help them by building their self esteem in other ways. Limit fluids and wake them up as much two times a night to go and have them go as soon as they open their eyes in the morning. Trying to get them to hold it as long as they can through the day may help increase their bladder capacity. ALways check with your doctor first.

no you are not the only one. My understanding is, that this is more common in boys, and about 5% of 9 yr olds wet the bed. Three weeks?.. wow. I know that the most we have ever gone is 3 days. Without shame, the child changes their own bedding, and puts the wet sheets in the wash machine. Actually sleeps through it all. all night long, wet or not ( usually wet)
No shame, just support, no doubt your daughter doesn't like this, especially limiting sleepovers. There is a med that we use, just for overnighters, ( camps) etc. DDAVP It keeps the body from making urine, great for short term.

I wet until my late teens.
My mom was really intense about it which did not help and has left me with some issues.
My mom used to fold a cotton diaper into a pad and I would have to put it inside my panties and then put plastic pants over the top. This protected the bed and I certainly felt wet in the morning.
The big issue was that she would then make me wear the plastic pants during the day. They were hot and sweaty and really uncomfortable. This was to motivate me but just killed my self esteme even more

It's like we had the same mom, Michelle. I wet until I was 9. Every night an hour before bed it was "plastic pants time." My mom would walk into the living room holding the plastic pants and I was told to go to my room. I had to tuck a prefold diaper in my panties, then mom would put the plastic pants on me. I really hated having to wear those plastic pants! Three out of 7 days I would wake up wet. That day I had to wear the plastic pants for the rest of the day as punishment. I'll never do that to my children and I hope parents of today have more understanding for their kids. Because even though those awfull plastic pants made me very motovated to stop wetting. The bad memories are still with me today, and it's just not worth it.

Many nine year olds still wet the bed, it's just not something they admit to anyone. Buy the goodnites and tell her she must wear them. They don't want to. Buy a mattress cover with plastic, they don't rip. One day it will just stop. My child was older than eight, I thought it would never end.He just stopped one day.
ALSO, make sure she gets a good vitimin, I don't know why but it seems to help. I have also heard magnesium supplament will help.
Good luck, Be patient, they can't help it.

Subject:Both my children were bedwetters and it ...
|
Both my children were bedwetters and it ran in their father's side of the family. It is genetic I think. Anyhow, my son quit when he was 10. My daughter is turning 9 and is still wetting.
The best info I can give you is to visit you child's pediatrician for more info. Bedwetting has nothing to do with them being lazy. Their body is not making a hormone that they need stop them from wetting in their sleep. There are different ways I currently know of to deal with it. These include:
1. DDAVP (I think that is the right spelling, but not sure.) This is a spray the child can sniff up their nose each night to keep them from wetting the bed. I think it is the replacement for the hormone their body is lacking.
It is prescribed and just as expensive as using Good Night pullups. However, my son did not like it. It didn't work because he wasn't sniffing it up through the nasal cavities correctly. It just went back his throat. Some parents just use it when the child is not in their own bed at home (sleep overs, hotels, etc.)
2. Body alarm. This is an alarm they wear that somehow alarms throughout the night. I can't remember the specifics as to whether it sounds when the wetting begins or before. Anyhow, the usefulness of it according to my pediatrician was that it acts like our alarm clocks do. When we forget to set our alarm clocks to get up for work, etc. after using it for months, years, etc. our bodies usually automatically form an internal alarm and we usually still wake up at the same time even without the alarm. It kid cost about $50.
3. Good Night pullups. This is what I've used. However, draw backs are that as the child grows, the largest size tends to get too small and they will leak depending on how much the child pees through the night and how long they are asleep. Especially on weekends, when my kids sleep in, they still wet the bed because of leakage. So, I recommend if you use Good Nights, use the following methods in combination with them.
4. Make sure your child drinks nothing or very little a couple hours before bed. No carbonated or caffeine drinks/food past say 5:00 or 6:00 p.m. or earlier. They should be limited in that stuff anyhow.
5. Monitor and make sure they empty their bladder before going to bed. They may say they did, but didn't. So, watch and make sure they go at least right before they hop in bed.
6. Get them up throughout the night. I have found getting her up between 11:00 p.m. and 2:00 a.m. and again between 3:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m. is keeping her dry.
I am currently working on this (3-6) hot and heavy since my daughter's mattress reeks of urine. Even after using every thing I had (Odoban, Lysol, stain removers, almost straight bleach poured on it and blotted), her mattress still stinks. So, I am getting ready to wrap it in tarp then a mattress pad in order to eliminate anymore wetting, but mostly to keep her from stinking from laying on the mattress until we replace it with a new one. Even when we get a new mattress, as long as she is bedwetting, I will still wrap the mattress with a tarp or heavy mil paint drop cloth plastic before adding the pad and sheets. Those protective bedwetting mattress pads are a waste of money! You end up having to wash them so much that they just fall apart no matter how good and expensive they are. If you wrap your child's mattress, do it safely. Make sure the heavy mil plastic material (don't use flimsly stuff) is completely tucked under and use a thick mattress pad/cover over it so they won't be able to get to the plastic and so they won't sweat from the plastic.
Good luck! And reassure your child that they will outgrow this condition sometime. You just don't know when. Working together by using a combination of these methods I listed will help keep your child dryer and happier.

Please help me. My daughter is 7 1/2 years old and she wets every night. I was told by someone else that a chiropractor would help but I was hesitant to try and put her through anything that wouldn't really work. We try to wake her up and put her on the toilet before we go to bed but she never goes pee. She doesn't even remember us getting her up. Was the chiropactor less evasive then a urologist? I don't want to do the pill thing because my Ped. said that the pill will shut her kidneys down for 8-10 hours a nite and I don't think that this is healthy or normal. Please let me know how the process went with the chiropractor.
Thank you!

Years ago, my son had this same problem (he is now 22 years old). He was going on 10 and still couldn't depend on making it thru the night without wetting. i do believe it was a matter of being a very deep sleeper, which to this day he still is. Our doctor suggested something, which he said he couldn't explain why, but that sometimes it seemed to work. Before going to bed, have your child eat a peanut butter sandwich. Just simply that. For some reason, when i gave him the sandwich, most times he went the night dry. i have always been somewhat skeptical of it, but at the same time, i figured the peanut butter wasn't harmful to him, and it did seem to do the trick most nights. Have faith, they will out grow this...but it is so hard on them dealing with other kids that find out his secret. Thinking of you.

My son also was a bed wetter!! (He's 11) I took him to a urologist and they put him on meds that I believed helped him NONE!!! About a year later I took him to Childrens Hospital in St. Paul MN to a ped. urologist.... WOW what a differance a Dr. makes He found that my sons problem was that his stool was backed up and pushing on his bladder making it spaz and release without his knowledge. They said that the med the other Dr. had him on actually made this worse!!
The moral of the story...see the right Doctor!!!

I am taking care of my nine year old nephew, who had stopped wetting the bed nightly just recently. He had three accidents during the first two weeks of comming to stay with me, which I expected due to all the emotional upheaval of moving. Now he is doing excellent - accident free for the last 3 weeks. He pees before bed (around 8pm) and then I wake him to pee again before I go to bed (around 10-11pm) This is working well for us, just thought I'd share it as an idea. And thank you all for your ideas, now I have some 'next step' ideas.

My son is 6 and still wetting the bed several times a night...we have tried DDAVP for 4 months, raising the dose a couple of times, with no results at all. We are taking him to a urologist next month. My son is also a very sound sleeper and does not wake up until morning. I cover his mattress with a vinyl table cloth, it is very cheap and has felt on the side I put on top so he's not sleeping on just plastic under his sheet. Another thing, my sons specialist has told us to NEVER wake our son up from a deep sleep to take him to the bathroom! She says the kids do not wake up enough to know what they're doing and this can cause them to wet the bed even as adults because their mind plays tricks on them in their dreams. They will dream that they are in the bathroom on the pot and will pee in their bed in their sleep. I don't know if it's true, but I don't wake him up. He also wears pull ups (he is very small still) at night because he pees so many times. He soaks through these and onto the sheets. I don't think his is hereditary, his dad or I neither one wet the bed. I do know that NO child should be made to feel guilty or punished for this helpless act! Do you really think they like waking up soaked in stinky pee?

Subject:DDAVP
|
Allen, just a few things, (It's been almost a year, keep me updated on the board) (1) keep with the the DDAVP medication a little longer. Four months is no guarantee (it's different for each child)(I think it took me seven months). While he is taking it, it is also important that you restrict his fluid intake in the evening, and that he stays away from large amounts of caffeine. (2) The dream he has of himself peeing in the toilet and waking up soaking wet shockingly sounds very familiar to me when I was his age (I'm 18 now) (It happened more than once actually). What is most likely causing this dream, is the pain of the full bladder trying to send a message to the brain to wake him up, but can't wake him from his deep sleep. If this and the wetting occurs during a REM stage of his sleep (The dreaming part) then the message was sent to the brain during his REM cycle, affecting the aura of his dream (bathroom scene). If it happened during a different stage of his sleep (other than REM), he would have no dream of it. Read my "Past Experience Posts" to hear more. (3) There is still a possibility that his is hereditary. Neither of you may have wet, but you both may carry the gene. Example: B-dominant allele (Non bed wetter) b-recessive allele (Bed wetter). Both of you could have had heterozygous alleles YOU-Bb; FATHER-Bb; YOUR SON- 25%-BB (Non bed wetter) 50%-Bb (Non bed wetter) 25%-bb (Bed wetter). Your son may have gotten the unfavorable recessive genes I'TS Possible, but not certain. If you're still around, tell me more.

my sister wet the bed until she was 12. It turned out that she had problems with her bowels and this caused her bladder to become weak. If we were able to catch this earlier than we could have prevented it. I would reccomend a trip to the doctor just incase it is something like this that can be fixed.

Those all sound like a possiblity..... But, my sister started wetting the bed at 6 and didn't really remedy till 15yrs.old.
through the help of a sycoligist one of the other little boys and her were play "Doctor" and he was useing a pencil. It took her a long time to get over the trama of it all. All you can do is love them and talk to themas well with Listen even better.

Subject:Which pill?
|
I'm not sure which pill you are talking about Mrs. Gray. The pill that I used to take was called DDAVP. I could be mistaken but I thought that this was a neurological drug. First, try to think back to when she was an infant. Ask yourself, how were her sleeping habits? Could she sleep through other children screaming and carrying on, OR would the softest whisper in the next room wake her up? I'm leaning closer to sleeping heavily (Correct me if I'm wrong). Heavy sleepiness is a very common cause of bedwetting. Other factors may include bladder size, or fast metabolism. If she's a heavy sleeper, then what's happening is that the pain and discomfort from the bladder strain is not sufficient to wake her from her sleep, and the bladder elastic will give after awhile and she will pee in her bed --she does NOT choose to--. Read "Past Experience Part I" for more details. If you're putting her on the toilet at night, and she's not peeing, then she may be focused on something else. If you're just looking for a dry night, put her on the toilet, then try dipping her hand in warm water without her looking. The shock from the warm water usually gives a child the feeling to pee.
The DDAVP drug cured me in about 7 months, (she would not have to take it indefinitely). From what I understand, it helps bridge the gap between the pain receptors in the bladder and the brain, but I don't think it should affect her kidneys (It's probably a different drug). I will post "Past Experience Part III" sometime this week. If you're still around say something.

Let me tell you something little girl, If a child was doing it on purpose (wetting the bed at night to get attention, or to spite their parents) then I would be willing to bet there's a pretty good chance that you would probably find them lying on the floor by morning (if they were still sleeping) and not still in their bed. Who would want to sleep in the urine soaked sheets unless they didn't know they were wet??? Do you think they want to get skin rashes from the salt in their own pee???
Even if you did find them lying on the ground with their bed wet, if they are about 9 years old, how would you know that they didn't wake up wet early in the morning, then change into dry clothes and lay on the floor just to avoid being cold and miserable in the wet sheets (I think that's what I would do). Sometimes children do regress to these behaviors for attention (especially if they have a new younger sibling), but where do you get off making allegations like that about children that you know nothing about.
Children that have this problem suffer from embarrassment and emotional distress just about every day; if they had no shame or embarrassment, then I would think otherwise (regression). You, of many people, have no idea what goes on in a little child's mind, and you have neither the knowledge nor the capacity whatsoever required to fix this problem. Punishing an innocent child (physically or emotionally) will make them feel worse about themselves, and in the long run will prolong the problem.
I don't know who you think you are, but from a psychologist's point of view based on your attitude, I would think that you were an only child, and that you are just some teenager looking for people to kick around (I could be wrong of course). Your problem is that you are so judgemental and cold hearted, you could never be a parent. That message you posted was very inappropriate and immature; what do you think would happen if some new inexperienced parent found your post and missed this one? (nothing legal of course, but you may have some guilt to live with later in life).
The bottom line is ---if you have nothing constructive to say, then don't say anything at all--- Discussion is over.

Diabetes in hand with bedwetting can be very scary. It's like being between a rock and a hard place. It's like deciding whether to give plenty of water and clean the sheets in the morning, or give no water and risk having a blood sugar episode, it's a tough decision. Depending on the seriousness of the diabetes and the stability of the blood sugar may help in your decisions [I'm leaning more towards giving water]. Also, try to restrict sugar intake after a certain time. If there is too much sugar in the blood, the kidneys will need more water to flush the sugar out [same with salt], this can lead to dehydration. Basically, if your diabetic child stays away from sugar after a certain time, less water will be needed to keep the sugar in control and therefore would decrease wetting accidents. However, make sure the blood sugar does not go too low either [try giving them something with lots of fiber, but little sugar or starch]. Fiber is the best choice carbohydrates, it fills the system, is digested over time, and helps keep the blood sugar in control. Also the DDAVP may help with this issue also. It can help the bladder hold the urine until the morning.

You need a new Doctor. My sister wet the bed to 9 year old. At 5 the Doctor told us he would not do anything about wetting be until 9 year old. That because, many time it is because the blader is the last to grow in the body.
It turn out at 9, the Doctor gave her a nasel spray. In two to five days she was 90% curied. Some people do not produce a emzime that tells the brain to stop making liquid while sleeping. From my understanding nasel spray, jump starts the brain into producing the emzime.
We also found out she was allerigic to milk and the blader will empty right away when milk emzime enter it. So we cut not milk after noon.
She has had no problems.

Hi,
I have a 9yr old girl that trained very easily as a baby,
even through the night. I never had to put pull-ups on her or anything. She would actually wake up in the middle of the night if she had to go. Then when her sister arrive she started wetting the bed. The doctors told me it was beacuase of the new baby. But it has never stopped. She will do fine for a few weeks and then it starts again. They told me the problem is hereditery but when will it end. She really has no problems in her life that is upsetting her. I feel so bad for her. The doctors just keep telling me that time will solve the problem.
Any suggestions?

sounds like our stories are the same...my daughter was doing wonderfully at 5 yrs. old. staying dry all night, going to pee during the night on her own. then i got pregnant with my next child. the problems started half way through the pregnancy. now my son is 10 mths. old and my daughter is still wetting the bed, almost every night. we've tried several different techniques except meds, which i have found listed throughout the boards. i.e. no drinks after a certain time, take her to pee before her bedtime and before i go to bed. didn't always work though...i started using good nites, then stopped b/c i thought it only made the problem worse. i did however start using them again b/c the laundry is a killer for me.
i don;t know what to do anymore...i guess i just have to wait...but i think it's funny that our stories are very very similar...good luck.

My husband and I were both bedwetters until we were in our teens. We now have a 5yr old daughter who still wets every night and a 12yr old son who wets at least four times a week. Before bed and after baths, we make the kids go potty and then we diaper my daughter. Our son wears goodnights and puts his own on after his bath. WE do however have to check to make sure he is wearing it, we have caught him taking it off sometimes, usually if we were visiting relatives. Otherwise he doesn't mind wearing it at night. He agrees it is for the better. We do keep a waterproof cover on top of our sons mattress since he is a heavy wetter. Sometimes the goodnights don't hold it all.

I was a bed-wetter until I was 13. I used to dream that I got up and went to the bathroom, and in my dream I would even keep asking myself "Am I really awake?" and when I decided I was, I would pee in my bed. It was agonizing. I truly couldn't tell the difference between being awake and asleep. I guess I was in sort of a half-asleep half-awake state. Anyway, my aunt told me to pinch myself until it hurt to see if I was awake. Believe it or not, I did this a few times thinking I was awake on the toilet, agonizing over whether I could feel it or not. Then one night, I guess I made it to the toilet and actually pinched myself and felt it and never peed in the bed again. I pinched myself on the toilet for months after that to make sure.

Subject:I work at a group home

Personally I think you are over reacting. This is a very common problem with children around your daughters age. Most of them can not help it. It can have something to do with your child's development - physically or emotionally. Currently I work at a group home that houses eight kids at a time around you daughters age. I'd say two out of the eight have a recurring problem of this and many of the eight have a problem every now and then. I've worked here for five years and the kids only stay a year. So I'm basing this on more than just eight kids. This is a very common problem that no one talks about. Basically, dont make your daughter feel ashamed about it. If she cant control it and 95 percent of the time they cant - shaming will only make it worse and contribute to more problems. With that said I would punish her for not telling you that the protective sheet is messed up. Even though she's just nine, she needs to start learning responsibility and take care of her accidents.

My son has been a bed wetter(actually both of them)since he was about 4 years old. He potty trained just fine and then started. At this point he is almost 5'8" and weighs about 140 lbs. He is physically maturing and is now so upset about this issue that it is really causing problems for him as far as his esteem goes. We have run the gammit of alarms, goodnites, DDAVP, etc. We don't make an issue out of wet bedding or clothes and have even provided our kids with thier own washer and dryer. They are 14 & 12, so they do thier own laundry. They hate it, but I feel that being responsible for yourself is important. I am now looking into alternative treatments such as vitamins and homeopathic medications. Of course I will use what works on BOTH of the boys, but my eldest is having the most emotional issues currrently.
Any advice or anything????

I went down this road. My youngest now 13 stopped wetting the bed this fall, has been dry for 3 months. Also had on older one now 16 who wet the bed until 14.
What we did was to sit down with the kids 1 boy, 1 girl and talked with them about their bedwetting and what they felt they would like to do. This after alarms, DDVAP, Goodnites and washing bed clothes every day. After much discussion about what to do they agreed on bedwetting pants which we ordered from Babykins. They seem to have a good selection as well as products that work, at least in our case, keeping the beds dry. The issue was kept within the walls of the house, sleepovers and vacations were dealt with using Goodnites which the child handled on a case basis.
The kids handled the pants on their own setting up a system between them of getting them washed and dried and generally my husband and I watched from a distance.
Also because of airborne allergies with the both of them we bought air purifiers for their rooms. With the purifiers in use the kids sleep cycles were a lot more normal and as a result their bedwetting seemed to become less of a problem for everyone. Eventually when each one was ready they just stopped and that was that.
Good Luck!

I think that all children's beds should have a rubber protective sheet over the mattress and under the topsheet. Even if your child is not a bedwetter, there may be a time when he or she may be very sick and not able to get out of bed to get to the bathroom in time. And yes having rubber pants and/or a rubber sheet would really save a thousand dollar mattress. My mom always had one on her bed when she was pregnant with my sister (in case her water broke). Rubber Sheets Save Mattresses (Better safe than sorry).

Subject:Past Experience (Its not their fault) Part I
|
I am an Eagle Scout and a student of Psychology at Rutgers University. I also have a part time job at a group home in North Jersey. Alright I'll say it, I was a bed wetter until I was about 6 or 7. Anyway, regardless of their age, it's not their fault so please do not make them suffer anymore than they need to. The problem that causes bedwetting is in their body not their mind. It IS in their brain, but it's NOT in the decision making part (frontal lobe). Different people, sleep better than others, most bedwetters sleep heavily and are hard to wake. That's where the main problem lies.
Typically, anyone who was punched in the head (or leg) while they were sleeping would feel enough pain in the nerve endings for the message to be conveyed to the brain that --It Hurt!!!--. Their sleep cycles would be disrupted and they would wake up in pain "even the heavy sleepers". A light or delicate sleeper on the other hand, may be woken by something as little as a dog whistle (not literally).
Basically, betwetting and heavy sleepiness generally go hand in hand. What happens is that the sensation and discomfort of a full bladder and the elastic that keeps it closed, while painful, may not be painful enough to send an adequately urgent message to the brain to stop the sleep cycles and wake the person to go in the bathroom and go pee. Eventually, if the pain of the bladder cannot wake the mind, well it cannot hold forever, the urethrea band will give eventually allowing all of the urine to flow out the penis or vulva, and on the bed. The warm urine will eventually go cold and they may wake up shivering from the uncomfortable wetness and coldness, or they may just wake up naturally and realize that they are wet. --They do not choose to wet the bed, so please do not blame them, keep your frustration under the table, and just love them like you would if this was not an issue--
--TO BE CONTINUED--
--Sorry, I had to partition this into 3 parts, otherwise I would look like a hog (can you blame me), the solution will come in part III, please be patient--

Subject:Past Experience (Its not their fault) Part II
|
The child will be just as sad and embarrassed as the parent is when they wet their bed. There is a way to solve this problem, but first you must have a close and loving relationship with your child so they can trust you. They need to feel comfortable talking to you about any sensitive issue in their life. Hug them every morning and night, play with them (appropriately), etc. I probably shouldn't have to say this. Anyway, if they can trust you then they should be able to talk to you freely. Ask them simple questions like if they are having nightmares or if they are sleeping enough at night; you won't get a straight answer for every question, but that's ok. Try to get them to tell you what they are feeling as a result of the bedwetting.
The reason I'm saying all of this, is beacuse a typical and common scenario is a child that is a heavy sleeper having a REM cycle "the dreaming part of a sleep cycle" about a realistic scene of themself in the bathroom peeing in the toilet, and then waking up either peeing in the bed or just realizing that they are wet. Then the sad thing is that when the child wakes up, he or she realizes that they were not making any progress at all and it was a dream, which can be very saddening to them "it has happened before". The cause of this is most likely related to the pain from the bladder sending a signal to the brain during a REM cycle. This signal would impact the aura of the dream "bathroom scene", but would not be enough to wake the child from their sleep. If the bedwetting occurred during a different stage of the sleep cycle (other than REM), they would probably have no dream about it at all.
Humans have about 25-30 REM Cycles (dreams) in one night. Many people think they have only one dream a night if any. When people have an 8 hour sleep, they sometimes realize that their dream only lasted about 20 nimutes, and "where did those other hours go?" The answer is that when a person's brain moves out of a REM cycle and into another part of the sleep cycle, their memory of that dream is gone. Therefore they can only remember their latest dream, and that is only if they wake up during the REM cycle. If they woke up during another cycle, then they would claim that they had 'No Dream'. Your child may have had a nightmare during one of these dreams that they can't remember, and the fright could have made them pee (You've probably seen it happen when they were awake). --The solutions will come soon, you've probably heard them before and I will explain to the best of my ability--

Finally, you have been waiting to hear the solutions. The main solution to the problem is the prescription medication DDAVP (It comes in pill form [usually one a day before bed]). However, there are many other things that must occur during the DDAVP regimen before the medicine will take permanent effect and cure the child.
(1) Make sure that your child goes pee in the toilet right before going to bed. (An empty bladder will buy time) Also, get them into the habit of going potty when they first wake up.
(2) Restrict nighttime beverages. VERY important, the medicine can take months to take full effect. Decide on a time, about 7 or 8 pm, to stop allowing your child to drink fluids. At bedtime, give them one sip of water to swallow the DDAVP pill (that's all).
(3) Protect the bed. There will still be accidents when your child first starts taking DDAVP. Put a rubber sheet over the mattress to prevent the urine from soaking through. Also, if the child is small, the Good Nites underwear can be used during the first couple of months.
(4) Avoid salty foods in the evening. Contrary to popular belief, salt does not keep water in. When more salt is introduced into the body, the body will absorb more water from the cells to flush the salt out of the body. (It will make them have to pee more). Also stay away from caffeine in the evening.
(5) Try to wake them up before you go to bed yourself. Guide them gently to the bathroom, help them pull their pants down, sit (or stand) them at the toilet, and wait for them to pee. They may be totally zoned out; keep her legs together, or keep his penis aimed, otherwise you may need to stay up later than you wanted to. When they have peed, flush and wash their hands, then guide them back to bed. If they are young, you may need to wake them more than once each night.
As the child is having less and less accidents, you can start to relax some of these standards listed above [not too quickly though, wait at least 5 months]. When they have had no accidents for about 7 weeks then you can talk to the pediatritian about stopping the medication.
No matter what happens, be sure to show your unconditional love for your child at all times, it will help them get through the emotional torment of the problem.
---Good Luck--- ---THE END---

Dear Kelly,
Hi. Don't give up!! My son wet the bed until he was 18. After years and years of trying different things...alarms...cutting back on fluids before bed ect...my doctor recommended DDAVP. It worked!! I know it took a few months for him to totally stop...but eventually, he was able to stop the DDAVP all together. I know how you feel about going crazy. My son lost out on alot of fun during his childhood becasue of the this. He never spent the night at friends houses. His self asteem was very very low. He now has a daughter that's 1 1/2 years old...and his biggest fear is that she will inherrit the bedwetting from him. So...please just hang in there!! Good luck!
T.

Subject:Bedwetting and Accidents During The Day
|
I have a six year old girl who not only wets the bed at night she has accidents at times (not every day) during the day. I know for a fact that her accidents during the day most of the time is due to the fact she doesn't want to stop playing or take the time to go to the bathroom. I am wondering though if there might be something developmentally going on. I also wonder if anyone has any information on how food allergies affects wetting your pants. She is allergic to milk and can get diarreah within minutes after eating if she has had too much dairy during the day. I also wonder if nerves play a role in needing to go more than usual. At times when she is nervous, like taking a new class for the first time, i think I have noticed that she needs to go more often. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Concerned Mom

My 11 year old just returned from her fist sleepover and wet the bed but has never wet the bed. She has a 10 year old sister who wets the bed because she ADD and she can't help it and i dont kno what to do with my 11 yo cause she saw me putting on diapers for her younger sister. Now Ive been looking in her backpack from school and it has like 2-3 wet diapers in it and has never had any daytime promblems since potty training her. She goes to sleepovers and gets made fun of cause she wets the bed and i asked her why she was wetting and she said cause i dont like getting up to use the bathroom and I like peeing and pooping in a diaper. She has no medical promblems took her to doctor's office 4 times they say nothing wrong with her. What should I do with mo 11 year old daughter?

I recently read a excerpt in the Parents magazine about bed wetting. I think it was a February edition. Anyways, it said that when the tummy / bowels are full, it puts pressure on the bladder during the night that triggers some wettings. Of course, cutting back on fluids will help too. My son wet the bed until he was 11 yrs old. I also took him to the Dr. .... nothing wrong. My nephew who sleeps at my house is almost 7 and wets his bed too. About 1 hour after the child is asleep, we get him up and take him to the bathroom. (I actually have to carry him, he's so out.) It seems to me that the body relaxes about an hour after we sleep. I think the bladder relaxes too. If I take my nephew to the bathroom, feed him dinner at an earlier time, (5-6pm ) he can make it without a wetting. whewww! So I figured this one out a little late. At least, it works for us.
Good luck!

I had a student who was a bed wetter. His parents were in the midst of a divorce when it started. Although you've pointed out that nothing in your family's life is going wrong, perhaps something in HER life is going wrong.
Are there any coaches, teachers, people with whom she spends time alone that might be doing something inappropriate? I hate to plant a seed that festers at the back of your head, but if your daughter is being abused, this could be her way of calling out.

Subject:regressing back to peeing in their pants
|
Nicole is 4 years old and has been potty trained for a couple of years. About a month ago she has regressed into wetting her pants.
She does not wet her pants at school, only at home.
I have tried to have her come in to try the potty to try which she does but she still wets her pants.
She occasionaly wet her bed at night but that only happens when she drinks after 7pm.
Can anyone tell me why this is happening.
I don't know of anything that could be stressing her out.

it might not be anything stressing her out, or anything that's changed... it could be to get your attention. I don't know how much you do this already and please don't think I'm being rude... how much time do you spend with your daughter when you're both at home? Can you do anything more? Can you do anything different?

Bedwetting is not fun for anyone. I wet the bed unti I was 13 and had to wear cloth diapers and rubber pants, they were awful but they kept me comfortable and my bed dry. Today I'm thankful for Goodnites as I have a 8 year old who regularly wets the bed.....
Be patient and work to keep the child comfortable. It really does help and that comes from the voice of experience.

I've been reading all the bedwetting stories. My son is 5 1/2 and is still wetting the bed. He is still wearing Goodnights but my savior from being the laundry goddess was going to the fabric store and buying large pieces of water proof material and making drawsheets for the center of the bed. (the material is the same as a small baby changing pad)I also sewed cotton material to the edges so you can tuck it under the mattress. For those who don't sew some of the catalogs such as Carol Wright or Lillian Vernon sell them.

Subject:bed wetting in older children
|
Bed wetting can be a challengeing thing to deal with for the entire family. One of my older children still wets the bed but we recently found a solution that works. My son was recently prescribed a nasal spray - DDAVP. He sprays it once in one nostril any night he needs to. I am telling you it has been a blessing in disguise. He has never wet the bed when he takes it.
What is it? Well my doctor told me it is a hormone that your body naturally produces to slow down night time urine production. As you move through childhood your body naturally begins to produce it in appropriate quantities. However, if your body does not produce enough of the hormone, it CAN be one of the things to consider in night time wetting.
Now, I am not a drug pusher of sorts, but it has provided my family with a confidence we never had. With sleepovers, or nights when you just feel you need the guarantee. It has cut down on the wash two fold and you don't have to take it every night. Along with this it also reccomends you do not drink for 2 hours before bedtime.
Just thought you might be interested in this. I did no read all posts so sorry if this info is a repeat.

Subject:9 year old wetter
|
My son is 9 years old and is wetting the bed and now and again day wets. We have done it all: Stop fluids befor bed, Wetting alarmes for the bed and the body, love and logic self-esteam building classes, no animal products, Counselling, physiologists, Testing for disabilities ( ADD, ADHD, ect..), Alovera Juice, Acidophilus,Omga 3 6 and 9,high grade vitamins, Miralax, Pedicatric Urologists, blood test, X-rays, altrasounds, nose srays and a few other medicians that the Urologist perscribed. Until today when when I found this web sit I though my son was alone in the world with this problm and that he must have some rare condition. I thought the condition might kill him because of theat one condition that damages the kidness. I Know I sound extream but remember my boy doesn't just bed wet which is comon my boy also day wets which almost no one talks about. Thank you to all the people on this sit who did talk about it. My sister is a probation officer of offender and she jumped stright to ual abuse. Through counselors, physiologists, and pediatritions we have definetly rulded that out. After reading today how comon this is and hearing the feelings of the people who have lived through this I am going to stop my extream behavior and just let my boy be a boy. My hope is that through my storie others may come to the same terms.

My brother is fourteen and he still wets the bed. It causes him a lot of emotional turmoil. They actually put him on a pill that makes it a lot better. Rather than 7 nights a week, maybe only 1.

Subject:8 year old foster child
|
I have an 8 year old foster son that has been with me for about 1 1/2 years now. He has PTSD and when he first came to me he was wetting and soiling six to eight times a day. After all this time, the soiling has decreased to one or two times a month, but the wetting is just continual. There are many days when he doesn't even use a toilet unless constantly being reminded, and even then he still wets. He wears pull-ups full time. I've done the alarm, rewards, medical exams, you name it. I've been told it's behavioral and it will stop when he wants it to. This is so frustrating. He sabotages special events, swimming, sleepovers...you name it. Does anyone have any ideas? The thing that is hardest for me is that he will sit in the wet pull-up for hours. He never initiates self-care without being told. Any advice would be appreciated.

My question is can he control it or not? If he can control it then maybe there should be consequences. if he can't control it of course you wouldn't punish for the wetting.
