Neeranam Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 My youngest daughter still wets the bed maybe once or twice a week. I thought it was getting better, which it is, sometimes two weeks no wetting. She had a set up with a towel and plastic sheet. She doesn't drink a lot after dinner. For a few months of wake her up at 1am to go to pee but hoped she'd wake up by herself. Should I take her to a doctor? If so, what kind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanLaew Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 A urologist. But what and how much is she drinking within 3 hours of going to bed? Does she take a pee immediately before going to bed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strangely, when we go to hotels, she gets pampers but doesn't need them. So psychological it might seem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does she sleep alone or share a room or bed with siblings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She sleeps under her older sister on bunk beds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinneil Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Many years ago my son had the same problem. Doctor said best thing to do was, no drinks after 5pm, make sure he goes to the toilet before bed, it worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedo1968 Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Used to work with young boys, not sure if with girls, put their hands under the cold water tap before going to bed which normally makes them want to pee before sleeping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheryl Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Has she been doing this consistently all her life or had she stopped and started again recently? New onset of bed-wetting in a child (meaning one who had previously stopped wetting the bed for at least 6 months) usually means some life stress - serious problem e.g. being bullied at school, sexual abuse, marital problems between the parents etc It can also sometimes result from a urinary tract infection, or from the development of diabetes, so if you are sure there is no psychological problem seeing a doctor may be wise.
