my 5 yr old has recently started wetting the bed, i just dont get it. she uses the bathroom before i tuck her in. anyone have any tips to help resolve this issue?

if at anytime you should happen to get up in the night, check on her and take her to the bathroom, this might help...worked when my daughter went through the bed wetting stage. Hope it works for you as well. Good luck.

ty cat, she went from thumbsucking to this, lol. broke her of the thumbsucking real quick tho.

my son went thru that too.he just was too sound asleep to wake up in time.now he sleeps thru the night with no bed wetting.i thik his bladder is stronger.Dont shame her whatever you do.They are as thrilled about it as you are.

like cat said. However, I would go ahead and plan on setting the alarm initially for about hald way through the night to check on her. If that is not enough adjust it so you are up twice. It can be a pain, but with the constant attention and "forced" potty runs, her bladder and body will ge tused to getting up to go even when seh is dead tired.

Sweetie-we have that problem at time and D is 6. I think his Dad still puts him in pull ups. (Insert approprate ex-husband expletive here.)

This is going to sound wierd, but it works. Limit dairy intake in late afternoon into the evening. Dairy takes longer to digest (6-8 hours). So a glass of milk with dinner will show up when they are fast asleep. Stick with water and real fruit juices which go through the system faster.

When in doubt, I sleepwalk D to the bathroom before I go to bed.

Email me if you need anything. But watching the dairy does help.

Sometimes a child's body grows faster than their bladder. It's a phase, he/she will grow out of it.

theyve got these things called goodnites, they work like pull ups but kid doesnt know its a diaper cus they look and feel like underwear. get them up once in the middle of tnhe night to "go" but if they have an accident at least there isnt a big embarrasing mess to clean up. just an undies change.

In my experience my children turned out to just lazy, and didn't want to get up to go potty. That was many years ago though. Every situation is different. hope things work out for you.

thank everyone for the advice!!! we're on 3 nights with no wet bed now, yayyyyyy!!!
