6 year outmoded son still wet bed?
My step daughter had the same problem. She drizzling the bed till she was 14. We took her to a specialist and they told us that since both parents wet the bed till in their teens, she probably would too (damn inheritance!). We also limited evening liquids- nothing after 7:30, made sure she emptied her bladder earlier bed, tried medication, woke her up after 2 hrs of sleeping to go, and then every 2 hrs after that. She wore Good Nites till she started staying dry through the night after starting puberty. She slept vastly hard and couldn't wake herself to go. As she get older she could set an alarm clock that would get her up. Eventually she got used to getting up at those times, so she didn't requirement the alarm clock.
My nephew wet the bed until he was 12, they go through all the same things including not letting him drink milk and a pill for over active bladder, finally the doctor told my sister-in-law that he only just sleeps too deep and the chemical response for him to wake up to pee was out of use. He was actually wearing adult size diapers, anyway, if you can cart him to a specialist, do it, they have new treatments and options that can give support to. Most kids will grow out of it but it could also cause some psychological issues that you should be aware of as well. Source(s): Kidshealth.org
Can i just ask? When he wets the bed do you make a fuss roughly speaking it? Maybe going straight in without talking or looking at him and newly cleaning up the mess might help. With my son I make up his bed with a mattress protector, a set of sheets a blanket and next another mattress protector and then another set of sheets and blanket, so if he wets the bed then adjectives i have to do is go in and bear away the top layer, clean him up and then bring out.
Hope this helps
I would have to agree beside the previous poster regarding doctor's dismissal as lazy. I am sure you have already tried this but I will document it anyway: cut off all fluids within two hours of bedtime. Make sure he have gone to the restroom just before bed, and you could try and wake him up two hours after that to use the restroom again. I would really avoid rewards and punishments on this one, simply because if he can't help it,t hen no reward on earth is going to do much good, within fact he is libal to feel even worse because he "just can't" no concern how hard he tries. I have a four and a half year prehistoric (one of twins) who cannot hold it any longer than an hour or two, so for her, what generally has worked is the fluids cuttoff, wake ups two hours after bedtime, and a small alarm for going on for four to six hours after that. She got used to it, and usually is dry in the morning. Her twin, who by all accounts should be capable of hold it all night long, never ever has. I do not reward dry night, and i do not punish wet ones. I make no mention of it what-so-ever other than to explain why we are contained by the tub at 7:30 in the morning. Our ped said that if he is still wetting at seven, then they would look into bladder issues, or even psychological issues. I know its frustrating, but I would permit him be, and if you are really concerned that there is a physical issue at hand, find a ped willing to whip a closer look at things. Other than that, good luck!
You might want to make sure nil is wrong with his bladder. I would avoid doctors who like to dismiss things like this by calling your kid good-for-nothing. Some people just have bladder problems. I own heard the explanation by the other doctor though that smaller kids still might have the problem of bladder and brain not being at duplicate place in development.
I have a (just turned) 5 year old who does still where a diaper at dark because he is a very heavy sleeper. He has just now had a lot more dry diapers in the morning than drizzling ones and I think we are coming out of the woods on this issue. I can totally understand an immature bladder and an inability to get up up and go to the bathroom. I would say that if he is still going 2 or 3 times a night at 6 consequently he probably does have an immature or at least small bladder BUT if he is realize he is wet and getting up to change then he could freshly as easily get up and use the bathroom. I know how annoying it is to change sheets every darkness. You start to feel like your just making work for yourself not really making any headway next to the real issue. I think it probably is the only method and it may take awhile to work. Eventually he will get tired of being discomfited in a wet bed and will go to the bathroom instead. I wouldn't speak a word about it except to mention how uncomfortable it must have be to sleep on those wet sheets. Don't get mad or frustrated a moment ago accept that your daily chore for the forseeable future is to manufacture his bed. I know this all sounds unpleasant but when you are looking back after this has passed you will be so releived you did it. Good Luck
