That's a late bedtime, IMO.

I forgot to mention that there are meds to decrease urine production at night. I didn't use them. I didn't like the side affects.

ive already said in this thread, i just hugged her and kissed her this morning and i said it doesnt matter angel, and she was fine. shes embaressed enough as it is, i want to make her feel better, id never make her feel worse.

it is quite late, but she normally doesnt actually fall asleep until around 10 o clock or a bit later. shes in bed before, but if takes her a while to get to sleep

I put mine on the potty after every meal. Then we did a silly, "You went poo poo on the potty" song and dance. I kept a large piece of computer paper taped to the bathroom door. And everytime the deed was done, a sticker went on that paper. Part of the fun, too, was shopping for stickers.

shes 7, she wees and poos on the toilet fine, she just wets the bed at night, shes never poooped the bed ever. she never wets herself in the day just at night.

My child's urologist said that the urine was not unsanitary.
It is not an attention getter. It's not emotional, it's phsycial. They don't do it on purpose. They are sleeping.

Yes, there are soft ones. And a picture book to read while sitting there for 15 minutes is good.

exactly i agree winx. i never say anything like that to her, that would destroy here. you just chnage the sheets, and bleach the matress like i did today, but i didnt do it in front of her, i dont want her to get upset.

You're doing good, Deb.

But..I highly recommend a waterproof mattress pad.

My son wet his bed until he was about 4 or 5...constant routine worked in his case.
Absolutely no liquids after 6 pm , at least 2 or 3 times before going to sleep we made him go to the bathroom or at least try. If he woke during the night we helped him immediately to go potty. Encouraging him the whole time.
We lined his mattress with plastic (a cut up fitted garbage bag taped down worked great) and rewards when he made it through the night for being a bigboy. Consistantsie works as long as nothing is medically wrong....good luck!

she only sleeps at mine once a week so i dont need one. were going to get some sheets you can put on the bed made for children who wet the bed.

and thanks, im doing my best to not let her get upset about it.

thankyou

Debbie,

If she does this all of the time, I'm surprised that her parents don't have her wearing big-kid pull-ups. That saves on washing bed lines everyday and she doesn't have to sleep in the wetness.

she just leaks through them, and we dont want to revert her back to that.

thanks for the advice

Having trouble going to sleep may indicate a fear of the dark, or night in general...this also can be a reason for bed wetting. Does she sleep with a light? Anxiety of not being able to walk through a dark room to use the bathroom can cause a spastic bladder at night. Just a thought.

My sister was scared of the dark and was a bed wetter. My mother would set the alarm and wake up to take her to the bathroom at 2am each morning and kept two night lights on in our bedroom as well as one in the hall and one in the bathroom...so when she took her into the bathroom, she kept the lights off and allowed her to become comfortable with the house in dim lighting...fear was gone very quickly...bed wetting and trouble falling asleep stopped.

you are right there, she is scared of the dark. when she sleeps here with me, i keep a light on in my room, and the landing light which leads to the bathroom is always on, however im not sure if that is the case at home, ill find out. goodpoint, and thankyou.

My child used them until 9 yrs. old. No leaking. The leaking might be due to the brand.

Another thing that could help is to wake the child and have them to go the bathroom when you go to bed.

mine had that problem also..until his pedi placed him on medication and he took it for just a month..never did it afterwards

we use pampers which is the best brand in the uk. she does big wees, and she leaked out of them when she was still in nappys. she has a wee before bed, and my sister gos to bed with her then you see. she sleeps very deeply, maybe thats why she isnt waking up to go for a wee??
