Seeking Bed Wetting Advice

hi K., well my little sister. who is now 17 had this problem to. not to scare you but she had it til the day she started her period. then it was like she could finally remeber to get up & not wet the bed. it was an aweful battle. she also wore pull-ups til the "p" came. they do make bigger ones these day. for my advice even though not successful with my sister. talk with her about the bed wetting. make sure its not being done for attention. some children will do anything to get there parents attention. also dicuss with her its time to be a big girl no thumb sucking, or anything else thats baby like. let her know children her age do not wet the bed or suck the thumbs. encourage her & praise her for good things. just for yourself stay positive....even if you cant seem to resolve the problem. i can honestly understand where your coming from. i pretty much raised my sister as a child...my mom was there but mentally was in another worls & our dad was only home 1 day a week...he was a truck driver. my sister listens to me & not our mom...even though she still lives at home with mom...dad passed. anyways dont give up with her. i think alot of my sisters problems were associated with my mom not really being there with us....mentally. so there was no dicipline til dad got home, just no structure. nothing to really help my sister with her problem just mom always yelling at her. do your best. thats all you can do. good luck. luv always C.:)

Umm well thats a tough one, there are many reasons why children wet the bed, Sometimes it's madical, and sometimes it stress, sometimes they are just lazy. I wet the bed till I was "older"....and sometimes had accidents during the day, my problem was becauase my bladder didn't streach, and I never knew I had to go untill I was already going. I had to see a specialist, ans they gave me a pill to help and some exercises to do. it could also be an emotional problem, maybe she feels she needs that attention from you?? Or she is stressed over something she can't talk about or doesn't know she is stressed about? I'm not really sure, considering my problem was physical. Talk to her doctor, and see what they think about it, maybe try talking to your daughter, about if this bothers her to be wet, and doesn't she want to be a "big" girl? sorry I can't really help. :( GOOD LUCK!!

Limit liquids after 6 pm. That helped with my twins.

Hi K. - My advice STOP BUYING THE PULL-UPS. I know it sounds harsh but if they are around and she's putting them on take them away. My daughter had three bed accidents. The first I was fine telling her that she needs to learn how to control herself use the bathroom before going to bed and stop the liquids early. The number two happend a few weeks later and again I told her the same thing however made it clear that I wasn't happy and pointed out to her that she also didn't find it nice to wake up wet. The third time I took away her radio and she hasn't had an accident since. Now I tried this apporoach however I understand not all children are the same and I just hope you are firm when speaking to her. Sometimes being firm works. ;>)
