  If your child’s provider suggests treatment, it’s likely to start with ways to motivate your child and change his or her behavior. The next steps include moisture alarms or medicine. […] For a bedwetting treatment program to work, both the parent and child must be motivated. Treatment doesn’t always completely stop bedwetting and there are likely to be some setbacks. However, treatment can greatly reduce how often your child wets the bed. […] Motivational therapy helps children gain a sense of control over bedwetting. Many children learn to stay dry with this approach, and many others have fewer wet nights. […] Moisture alarms work well for many children and can end bedwetting for good. Families need to use the alarm regularly for 3 to 4 months as the child learns to sense his or her signals and control the bladder.

  „Treatment usually isn’t necessary for primary bed-wetting or children under 7. A watch-and-see approach is usually the best option, as we can expect an 8% to 10% improvement every year the child grows. Most children outgrow bed-wetting on their own.” […] „There are things that parents can do to help a child with secondary bed-wetting or who is older than 7, including:” […] „Restrict fluids in the evening. Encourage the child to drink plenty of fluids during the day to remain hydrated and reduce thirst in the evening. Avoid high-sugar or caffeinated drinks during the evening. Restrict drinks within two hours of bedtime.” […] „Build voiding into the bedtime routine. Start the bedtime routine by urinating and then encourage the child to go again before falling asleep.” […] „Set alarm for overnight voiding.

[…] If the doctor doesn’t find a medical problem, how can parents help stop bedwetting? Well, the first criteria is that the child is motivated for it to stop. If the child is not bothered by the bedwetting, each of these proven methods is much less likely to work: […] Limit their nighttime fluid intake. A good rule of thumb is for the child to consume two-thirds of their fluid goal before the end of the school day and then one-third of the fluid after school with no more drinking in the last one to two hours before bed. […] Have a stable bedtime routine. Going pee before bed and first thing upon awakening should always be encouraged. […] Consider stopping pull ups or diapers at night once they are reliably potty trained during the day.

  Have your child practice good daytime bathroom habits. Your child should pee at least every two hours when he/she is awake and that means making sure they can use the bathroom as frequently as needed at school too.

One trick to encourage relaxation is to have your child take deep breaths five to ten times after peeing, like theyre blowing out candles on a birthday cake. […] You also need to watch what theyre drinking. Believe it or not, some drinks can irritate your childs bladder, which prevents it from working as well. Avoid these drinks if your child frequently wets the bed. […] Bedwetting is not considered abnormal until after five years of age. That being said, there isnt a specific age when you should become overly concerned about the issue.

  Combining enuresis alarms with other behavioral modalities enhances treatment success.

[…] Medication should be initiated in children seven years and older only if nonpharmacologic measures fail. Children who do not respond to one or more measures may benefit from combined treatment strategies (e.g., combining nonpharmacologic and pharmacologic treatment or multiple pharmacologic therapies). […] Pharmacologic therapies are not curative, but they decrease the frequency of enuresis or temporarily resolve symptoms over time until spontaneous resolution occurs. Options include anticholinergic agents (oxybutynin [Ditropan], hyoscyamine [Levsin]); tricyclic antidepressants (imipramine [Tofranil], desipramine [Norpramin]); and desmopressin (DDAVP).

  BEDWETTING OVERVIEW […] Bedwetting (also called nighttime or nocturnal enuresis) is a common childhood problem. […] For most children, bedwetting resolves on its own without treatment. However, caregivers and children may worry about bedwetting since it is embarrassing and inconvenient. […] BEDWETTING TREATMENT […] Initial treatment of bedwetting includes education and motivational therapy. Behavioral alarms or medication may be tried if enuresis does not improve with these interventions. […] Caregivers must understand that bedwetting is completely involuntary and that a child should never be punished for wetting episodes. Spanking and verbal scolding do not improve a child’s ability to stay dry. […] Bedwetting education and advice […] Bedwetting is common; it occurs at least once per week in 15 percent of five year olds. […] Bedwetting goes away on its own in most children. […] Bedwetting is not the child’s fault; children should not be punished for bedwetting. […] Encourage the child to urinate regularly during the day and just before going to bed (a total of four to seven times). If the child wakes at night, take them to the toilet. […] Avoid sugary and caffeine-containing drinks, especially in the evening. […] It may be helpful to have the child drink most of their fluids in the morning and early afternoon to prevent overfilling of the bladder during the night. […] Remind the child every night to get out of bed and use the toilet when they need to urinate. Also remind the child to empty their bladder immediately before bedtime. […] Help the child locate the toilet easily by using night lights in the bathroom and hallway. […] Stop using diapers, training pants, or pull-up pants at home since these may prevent a child from wanting to get out of bed, especially if the child is older than eight years. […] Protect the child’s mattress with a waterproof sheet to avoid urine odor. […] After wetting accidents during the night, encourage the child to go to the bathroom before changing into dry pajamas. […] Do not tease or allow siblings to tease a child who has wet the bed.

  https://www.texaschildrens.org/content/conditions/nocturnal-enuresis-bedwetting

  Nocturnal enuresis (betwetting) affects 5-7 million children in the United States. Incidence decreases with age. About 15% of 5 year olds wet the bed; the incidence decreases by 15% per year after that. By age 10, about 6% of children wet the bed; by age 15, about 1% of adolescents still wet the bed. Treatment is generally suggested only for children over 6 years old. […] Treatment for bedwetting is usually not started until after 6 years of age, because it is so common before that age. Treatment options can begin with behavior modification to optimize daytime habits. These include: […] Limiting fluids 2-3 hours before bedtime […] Double voiding (urinating) before bed (1 hour prior and immediately before bed) […] Voiding every 2-3 hours during the day on a schedule […] Drinking most of the day’s fluids earlier in the day, not in the afternoon or evening hours

  Avoid thirst overload. If schools allow, give your child a water bottle so they can drink steadily all day. This avoids excessive thirst after school. […] Constipation may be a factor. Because your rectum is right behind your bladder, difficulties with constipation can present themselves as a bladder problem, especially at night. This affects about one-third of children who wet the bed, though children are unlikely to identify or share information about constipation. […] Don’t wake children up to urinate. Randomly waking up your child at night and asking them to urinate on demand isn’t the answer. It’ll only lead to more sleeplessness and frustration for you and your child. […] An earlier bedtime. Often, children are deep sleepers because they’re simply not getting enough sleep. […] Cut back on screen time, especially before bedtime. Improving sleep hygiene can help their minds slow down so they can sleep better. […] Never resort to punishment. Getting angry at your child doesn’t help end bedwetting. The process doesn’t need to involve conflict.

  Nocturnal enuresis is not a medical problem. Treatment usually means helping a child to form habits that will allow him to control his need to urinate. Here are some things you can do to help: […] Limit fluids 2 hours before bedtime. […] Make sure your child goes to the bathroom right before he goes to bed. […] Avoid caffeine. […] Never punish your child for wetting the bed. A child needs assurance that bed wetting is normal. It is not because he has done anything bad or wrong. […] After a certain age, medicine can sometimes be prescribed to help a child make less urine overnight. This does NOT cure bedwetting. Talk to your doctor to see if this medicine might help your child. […] At about 9 or 10 years of age, we suggest using a bedwetting alarm. The alarm consists of a clip-on sensor that attaches to the child’s underwear. The alarm is triggered by moisture. It sounds a loud alarm or a vibration to the body in an attempt to wake the child to get up and urinate. The bedwetting alarm slowly teaches the brain to respond to messages from the bladder that come during sleep. In the beginning, parents may need to help their child wake up when the alarm sounds. […] Praise your child because he is trying to be dry, not just because of dry nights. If your child begins having problems with daytime wetting, please discuss these issues with his doctor.

  A bed alarm is a good option for stopping bedwetting. The bed alarm attaches to your child’s underwear and sits up by your child’s head. When the child wets the bed at night, the alarm goes off to wake them up. […] After a few months, the bed alarm can retrain your child’s brain to wake up when your child feels the urge to urinate. It is important to consistently use the alarm every night and for your child to get up every time. […] Dr. Stanasel says the bed alarm is more effective than simply waking your child up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night because it trains their brain to make a long-term change. […] If children are older and the bed alarm or other tactics have failed, certain medicines can help stop bedwetting safely and effectively. […] Still, Dr. Stanasel stresses that bedwetting alone, with no other problems, will likely go away over time. […] I would recommend against a reward or punishment system. Bedwetting is not something they can control. […] A lot of kids just take a lot longer to resolve nighttime wetting, sometimes even up into the teenage years, says Dr. Stanasel.

  A positive attitude and motivation to be dry are important components of treatment. Children with enuresis benefit from a caring and patient parental attitude; punishment has no role whatsoever. A positive approach by the physician is also important for instilling confidence and enhancing compliance.
