Bedwetting Overview

BEDWETTING

Wet sheets and pajamas - and a shy child - is a familiar scene in many homes. But do not despair. Enuresis is not a sign of toilet training gone bad. It is often just a stage of development.

Bedwetting is also known as bedwetting or nocturnal enuresis. In general, the problem before the age of 6 or 7 is not a concern. At this age, control of the bladder during the night can not be established.

If bed-wetting continues, treat the problem with patience and understanding. Bladder training, moisture alarms or medication may help reduce bedwetting.
