Between the ages of three and four, most children are potty trained, including at night. But let’s face it: it is not strange if your child still wets the bed every now and then after the age of four.

Bedwetting is simply because the brain does not receive a signal that the bladder is full while sleeping.

Your child can of course find it very annoying to wake up in a wet bed. What can you do to help your child get rid of bedwetting? Below are some tips for a dry night.

Pee before bedtime

Always let your child pee before going to bed. That doesn’t always work, but that’s okay. It’s about giving your child the chance to relax on the toilet for a while.

Don’t punish your child

Children don’t do it on purpose, of course. Therefore, do not punish children. For example, tell your child that it is a shame if your child has wet the bed. But also give compliments if the child wakes up in the morning in a dry bed. In addition, you can have your child help with changing the bed so that he can see the consequences of the bedwetting.

without diaper

After a few nights, let your child sleep with a dry diaper, without a diaper. Then your child will notice more quickly when it is time to pee. Tip: place a plastic sheet on the mattress to keep the mattress dry.

Drinks

Many parents think that the child is less likely to wet the bed if he does not drink anything in the evening. This is a fable. Drinking does not affect bedwetting.

Wake your child up at night in a quiet way to pee together.
