Child Bed Wetting – Sick of Washing Sheets?

  • Sharebar

There is a new article on the site called child bed wetting. While not strictly about sleep, it is related to it, after all it does take place in a bed. Child bed wetting is a frustrating complaint making for extra work like washing sheets and extra expense if you have to replace a mattress.

Why does my child wet the bed? It could be due to a small bladder, lack of bladder control, being a heavy sleeper or even family stress. It may also be caused by a phenomena called the the phrenic reflex. This is a relaxing of the muscles in the body, including those that control the bladder.

Most children will grow out of it by the age of 3 or 4 but if it goes on after that it might be an idea to get your child checked out by a doctor.

The best way to handle child bed wetting is to be supportive. Chances are your child is very embarrassed by the whole problem and is certainly not wetting the bed on purpose.

Don’t give your child too much to drink before bed and make sure they visit the bathroom before they go to sleep. Beware of anti duretic medication which can often have side effects. Safe natural medication is available
