- A child may also wear a pull up, which are made just the same as underwear but has an absorbent layer. These are great to wear at a child’s sleepover, making your child feel more confident.
If these methods do not seem to work well and your child is still wetting the bed after he or she is seven or eight years old talk to your doctor about a bed-wetting alarm. This alarm senses when your child has begun to wet and sets off an alarm to wake them up. This will help your child respond to a full bladder.
Your doctor should also be informed if your child is also wetting himself during the day, complains of burning during urination, is losing weight, has blood in his urine, or if the problem is affecting your child’s self esteem.
Your doctor might also recommend a medication. Many doctors reserve the use of medications, they may be effective in reducing the number of wet nights that your child has, but they may have possible side effects and relapses are common when you discontinue using them.
Most importantly is patience. This is a persistent and frustrating problem for you and your child. Just remember, this problem is one that will resolve, as your child gets older.
