Bedwetting is common, even well after a kid has learnt to use the bathroom. About 1 child in 10 will wet the bed after the age of 5. Boys are more likely to have the problem than girls, and it tends to run in the families. Some children who wet the bed simply have small bladders, or their nerves or muscles are not mature enough to control their bladder all night. Less often a child doesn't have enough hormones that help the kidney's hold urine. Most children outgrow these problems by their teens. So how do you stop bedwetting in your children?
If your child has been dry during the night for a while and then suddenly begins to start wetting the bed, it may be a sign of something such as diabetes or a bladder infection. Or it may be a reaction to a recent stressful event, such as the birth of a brother or a sister.
Another important thing to remember is that no child wets the bed on purpose. And if he does then it does not mean that he/she is lazy or a slob. It's something they can't help doing. Kids who wet the bed cannot feel that their bladders are full and don't wake up to pee in the toilet.
