What to do if a 9-year-old boy wets the bed

Bedwetting is a very common phenomenon for children. Since children cannot control their own physiological conditions, bedwetting often occurs. However, it is indeed worrying for parents if a 9-year-old child still wets the bed. In fact, it is normal for a 9-year-old child to wet the bed occasionally, because even adults may wet the bed, but if the bedwetting occurs frequently, it may mean that there is a problem with the body. The following are some measures to deal with children's bedwetting.

First of all, the mother should be patient and observe whether the child wets the bed occasionally. If a child wets the bed occasionally, it may be because he is too tired from playing, sleeps very deeply, and cannot wake up due to the urge to urinate, resulting in bedwetting. Or it could be bedwetting caused by drinking too much water, juice, beverages, etc. at night. Now that the cause is found and the child is fine, there is no need to worry.

If your 9-year-old child frequently wets the bed, you should take him or her to see a doctor. The doctor checked whether there was any problem with the organ and prescribed the appropriate medicine. At the same time, tell your child that bedwetting is because you are sick, just like a cold, and you need to see a doctor. Once you are cured, you will stop wetting the bed. This will help rebuild your child's confidence. If the problem of the child's organ being dirty is ruled out, then you need to pay attention to the following situations.

Does your child have constipation during this period? Constipation will increase bladder pressure and reduce the bladder's urine storage capacity, making children more likely to wet the bed. If the child has constipation, you need to treat the problem. Encourage your child to eat water chestnuts, citrus fruits and other fruits. Once the constipation is cured, the bedwetting problem will also be solved.

Some families have plenty of time in the evening to make juice for their children. If children drink too much water at night, they are prone to bedwetting. Therefore, a 9-year-old child usually goes to bed around 9 o'clock in the evening. So after 8 o'clock in the evening (and within an hour before going to bed), let the child not drink water, so that less urine is produced and naturally he will not wet the bed.

Some children like to play crazy and get very excited before going to bed. Children produce less urine when they are asleep, but more urine when they are excited. Therefore, children should be accustomed to being quiet before going to bed. At the same time, they should be reminded to go to the toilet before going to bed, so that they can fall asleep quietly. If they feel the urge to urinate while sleeping, they can easily wake up to go to the toilet.

The weather is cold, the toilet is far away, and it is dark indoors, so children usually tend to stay in bed and not get up to go to the toilet, and then they fall asleep and wet the bed. Therefore, when the weather is cold, turn on the air conditioner in the child’s room, put a urine pot and a dim night light, so that the child will easily get up to urinate. Therefore, the environment is also very important.
