THE BEDWETTING

Bedwetting habit in kids: It is very common for a child between one and four years old to wet the bed. That’s because they don’t have that much understanding of anything. But when children of 5 to 10 years old also do toilet on the bed at night, then it becomes necessary to get rid of this habit. Sometimes this also happens by drinking more water before sleeping. In many children, this habit does not leave even after a lot of treatment.

No need to be worried. You can also reduce this habit by trying some home remedies for child bedwetting. If even after trying these remedies, the habit of bedwetting does not go away, then contact a good pediatrician.

 Causes of Bedwetting habits in kids

1. Many times children urinate on the bed at night due to emotional, fear or even mental stress. This happens due to cold and also due to family history. The other siblings in the house may do this first.
2. Fear and stress- If the child wets the bed, do not scold them too much. You explain it to him with love. The day he/she doesn’t pee, reward him. This will not stress out your child and also will make them Happy.
3. Health issues- Consider whether there is a problem of urinary tract infection, fever, vomiting, loss of appetite, hormonal imbalance, etc. If so, then you take care of him/her, give medicines.
4. Proper toilet Training- One hour before going to bed and before going to bed, make sure the child gets the toilet done. This will develop the habit of toileting before going to bed.
5. Dark Room- Do not keep the child’s room absolutely dark. There should be a slight light lit. Sometimes they get scared due to darkness and are afraid to get out of bed. Because of this also they urinate in their sleep.
6. Tea/ Caffeinated Beverages– The child does not drink any caffeinated beverages. Many children start drinking tea at a young age. This also leads to the habit of wetting the bed. Drinking tea and coffee at such a young age is not good for the health of children.
