What should I do if my child wets the bed at night?

Encourage your child

If your child always urinates in the bed at night, making it wet and smelly, do not beat or scold him. Beating and scolding him all the time will make the child more nervous and he will not say he wants to pee anymore. Remind your child every time that he should tell his mother when he needs to pee. He will remember it naturally if you say it more often. When your child doesn't wet the bed, you can encourage him/her more: "You're great, baby!"

Ask your child to go to the toilet before bed

Before going to bed, ask your child if he or she needs to urinate. If you pee before going to bed, you are less likely to wet the bed at night. It also helps children develop a good habit of peeing before going to bed, and gradually they will know to get up and pee after sleeping at night.

Pee training for children

Pay more attention during the day and remind your child from time to time whether he needs to urinate or defecate. Even if you can't control it and pee, don't get angry. Explain to your child patiently that he or she must take off pants before peeing, otherwise it will be embarrassing. It takes time to prevent your child from wetting the bed at night, and there is no point in being anxious.

Use conditioned reflex method to train children to get up and poop

Children's bed-wetting at night also has a regular pattern. Parents can observe the time period when their children tend to wet the bed. Observe for a few nights and find out the pattern. When the time comes at night, wake up the child to pee. After training a few more times, the child will have the awareness to get up.

Don't let your children play too much before going to bed.

It is proven that children who play too wildly at night and excite their brains are more likely to wet the bed. So you have to consider the time when playing, and you can’t play when it’s almost time to go to bed. So let your child be quiet for a while, turn off the lights when it's time to go to bed, and let him develop good habits.

No porridge for dinner

Children urinate the most when they eat porridge, and they urinate once every twenty minutes. If you eat porridge for dinner, you will urinate at least twice as much as usual when you go to bed at night. Also, don't drink too much water or eat fruits that are high in water content at night to reduce urination at night.
